So Leeds have named their squad for Sundays game KO 16.45
Fev have named their squad for Sundays game at Batley KO 15.00.

Now i know its not that far from Mount Pleasant to Headingley but how the heck can the same two players be named in both match day squads.

RFL get a grip, the game at the moment beggars belief.

I don`t accept that. My point is that if a player is to be selected for a game squad he is selected and should not be in another teams squad.

Just because you know who might be pulled doesn`t help at all if they are. I don`t see how its any different to previously if you can add to a squad if the DR is pulled.

If a club names one of their signed players then that player should not be allowed to be named in any others squad in that weeks round of matches.

This would solve the issue where a team trains with DR players only to see them pulled back at the last minute.

DR is a mess and not good for the game. It will only get worse as reserves start to play.

DR is a bad system that was never thought out properly and this tinkering is not making it work any better

This is fairly simple and obvious - if you could only be named in one squad that would make parent clubs much less willing to release potential DR players, which both parent club and DR club would see as a negative.

I really don't see the issue with players being named in both squads especially now they have been raised to 21. We know there are going to be 4 players drop out of every squad each week and we won't know until an hour before kick off which ones.

I get that you don't like DR and lots of fans don't, but getting worked up over this makes no sense, it has little impact on anybody.

Exactly my point , the club doesn`t know until an hour before. How can anyone make a game plan nor knowing who might or might not play.

DR is not good but teams will use it but to allow a player to be named in two squads is just totally unacceptable and just wrong

Totally agree its just ridiculous

Eh? Which club doesn't know until an hour before? Of course they know an hour before the game who the DR player is playing for!
As I've stated, this is permissible because squads have to be announced 48 hours before the game and clubs have a training session the day before the game. In terms of making a game plan it's absolutely no different to losing a regular squad member the day before the game due to injury.It's really straightforward and has no negative impact on anyone.

Im surprised that your surprised we all know HS views on D/R

For me Mick whatever your views are you still follow yer team , it’s like Religion and Politics you can never win, what will be will be as Doris Day used to say.
Shame he feels this way, but it won’t alter anything,we have no DR this year but needs must.I will be looking for the Fax result this afternoon.Good Luck.

The title of the thread sums up perfectly the way the game is being run at the moment. DR aside, if you stand back and look at what's going on in the game it is astounding. The reserve team saga, Foreign cubs in the English league, the Bradford/RFL situation, a GB coach picking 2nd rate Aussies to play, out of position, for our national team. Need I go on? I hope things change but with the people in charge of the game going nowhere, I don't hold out much hope.

Pete, I don’t think you will find one person to disagree with you , but it won’t make any difference,the reserves saga is about cash,again probably the same with Bradford,the Bennett situation is a joke, but it’s up to the RFL to sort things out, your stance won’t make the slightest difference,it’s about you and yer entertainment, cmon mate get to the Shay this afternoon, yer Club needs you.
I’m doing my bit for Fax , I’ve entered 2 teams in the Fax Fantasy League comp. .

Shaun Wane for Bennetts job?

At least he's British.
