There has been no official mention of any dual registration deal for next season, thankfully, from the club. I personally hope it stays that way but was wondering if anyone had heard owt to the contrary?

Well it won’t be Cas as they have teamed up with York.

Id imagine it will be Wakey.

Or Huddersfield (dives into bomb shelter) !!

Saints new coach is keeping RM in the same roll so maybe them.
I seem to remember Simon being a bit mute when the question was asked at the open meeting a few weeks back.

That's been mentioned on another forum. How embarrassing would that be. I wonder why the club won't say owt?

Probably kept quiet because they were looking at not having a reserve team

The BOD statement on the reserves is intersting in that I feel it indicates that the club (in reality Mr Croad) are finding it difficult to find further quality players for next season.

Given that DR hasn't really worked for us in the past I would think we would either not use it or follow the path that Featherstone have followed and use it to the maximum. If that's the case then the likely partner club would probably be Huddersfield, perhaps Wakey, either way we would become a feeder club as envisaged by some when Super League was created.

Either way its a reality check on our true status. No "Money man", Board struggling to ensure financial stability, average crowds around 1200 results in continued second level status.

DR again would probably be it for me, especially shuddersfield, the shame of it. Mr Foleys, Leeds. York Guzzler 3.6% Mmm!

I was told last night that our new BOD are in discussions with Huddersfield about DR and that the plan is to “follow Featherstone” and have a really close relationship.

It could see up to five players in our first team each week and our lads turning out for their reserves.

If that’s the case then I’m off!

Bye then.

How many times can you have the same conversations?!

DR is here....the end. We are NOT a powerhouse & we DONT have money.......so you utilise it or you cant compete.

if they're in a fax kit on the day, then i'm backing them.

I’m not a fan of DR but I have to agree with DNAfax. Last season Fev were not an outstanding squad but they used this system and nearly made it.
Glad to hear season ticket sales are up from this time last year
Up the Fax

I have heard similar rumblings about this. DR for me...No. DR with Huddersfield, for crying out loud Huddersfield, the powerhouse of SL who escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth. That would be typical of Fax. I've tried to find out if there's any truth in this but to no avail. I'm happy that season ticket sales are up but the club have lost three from us due to this farce and, if it indeed does go the way Dbvada says that is us gone for next season at least.

I could be wrong but it sounds like your cutting nose off to spite your face. The club need support and money coming from supporters. So you not supporting the because of DR puts the club backwards. Why? Because they need money to build their own stronger squad in the long run and you are taking income away from the club you purport to support.
Can I ask you a question. If Fax were a SL team and DR with a championship team would you not support them?

Yes I would although I wouldn't agree with it, remember Fax with Hunslet. I agree it is cutting my nose off to spite my face but as I have said before DR is not just about Fax , it's about the whole game and teams that are using it are just playing in to SL teams hands. Far from securing our future i believe it is making the chances of Fax ever getting back to the higher end of rugby league an ever more distant prospect. To be controlled by Huddersfield, which like it or not is what DR comes down to, would be the last straw.
