Quote: griff1998 "All that rain makes your brain rusty, Ian.
It's not useful. It's a short term fix at the very best.
What happened at the clubs I mentioned (information freely available to folk who read the "trade" press) is that they relied on DR then found that - hang on a minute - these lads aren't eligible to play in the "eights" bit of the season.
The RFL bang on about increasing the player pool then Gary comes up with a scheme that reduces it - to which everyone says "Yay".'"
Griff with me being Ginger folk used to say my hair was Rusty,a fair few still say I've no brain,but my skin is thick , like my head,again it's all about what suits your Club , a few years ago under Ian Millwall we started to DR with Warrington, and later went with Wigan, I enjoyed seeing the talent they sent us, agreed it was a short term fix but it did the job required, we are fortunate to have Derek B at our Club, my motto is , if it suits you wear it, if it doesn't don't.
I intend watching a few Championship games next season as I think the Comp will be a very good one,but I think both Fax and Sheff will have to do a bit of astute marketing to be challenging the top Clubs.DR or no DR.
