All true Robin especially the bit about Fev using it more advantageously than Fax. I haven't seen Lannon play but from speaking to folk who have he makes little to no impact on our play. Which brings me back to what's the point?

Apparently Bulls to DR with Widnes. Looks like nobody likes DR but as everyone's doing it then we'd be daft not to. Are the players we getting better than what we have? Who knows but it does allow us to rest players, perhaps one of our lads has a niggly injury and would normally have been pushed out to play, we can now possibly rest him.

We've lost Luke Ambler off our roster so do we look to replace him or instead get a DR in and save the club some money? I think we all know the answer to that.

It's not going to go away is it Norm? Missing out on the big finance last year I'm surprised fax haven't utilised it a bit more than they have. It's a results based job and I suppose Sharpy Marshall et al have to pick a side they think will do a job. They will stand or fall by their choices.
If it came to a straight choice.... top 4 with or miss out without I'd opt for the former.... thru gritted teeth. There's too much at stake now to allow ourselves the luxury of morality over this issue.

Very true, we'd All like our clubs to be self sufficient but the sign of times is that we aren't.

No DR today.

lannon on bench for Salford.

Well that says it all. I rest my case. The Victorian Craft Beer Cafe. Dark Star Pale Ale. 4.7% Mmm!

That's poor management/recruitment. Not the fault of dual reg

Well, that's the quality of management encouraged by dual reg.

If nothing else, in the generally accepted fact that the player pool is dwindling.

Lannon recalled by Salford at the last minute. That poses a couple of points. Firstly, did he train with Fax during the week? If not why not? If he did what was the point? Secondly it proves the point that we aren't picking our own team whatever RM says. I think yesterday's performance shows that we have lads in reserve who can come in and more than do a job for the team. There's a lot to be said about team spirit and you don't get that by leaving lads out who have trained throughout and shipping someone in on the say so of someone from another club.

Yup.... I can see why you think that...as I had similar thoughts. But evidence suggests using DR players improves the results and doesn't affect the performances of those being left out when finally called upon to play. Scott Turner has had some blinders and whilst Briggsy has hardly had a look in he was excellent at KR.
Reading my sheeite on here it really reads like I'm pro DR.... I'm owt but!
