Don't want any of your regects

The fact he might not play much at Fev, if at all, is no reflection on McCallum. Ridyard is likely to be Fev's captain and is arguably the best half back in the Championship. The Boas brothers are both longstanding international players who played very well in the last World Cup.

Moreover, it's one thing for, say, a wing or middle to come in on DR, quite another for a half back, let alone an 18yo with little or no first-grade experience, to come in and run a team when he doesn't know the calls etc.

Excuse me please could explain what that means ? is it a new derogatory term for Whinos ?

They will not be sending him to fev to not play or be sat on the bench, like i saud if ge cant or deemed not goid enough to play at Fev we might aswell not bother with him, if he goes to Fev he will be playing. Ridyard may be captain may be a goid championship player, but thats all he ever has been and ever likly to be.

McClelland will be on loan to someone we know that much, if he's not at Fev anyway.

You seem to be suggesting that players are "sent" to Fev, rather than being offered. That's never the impression I've got of the relationship, and indeed, Fev fans were told that we had turned down a number of offers of players on DR from Leeds last season. I think that's partly why the DR relationship has worked so well (a point Rovers officals have made repeatedly).

That said, with the recently-reported news that Duffy seems set to leave Fev for Leigh, it remains to be seen whether Ridyard will still be at the club.

Perhaps he could go and join Lilley at the Bulls?

OK sent/offered, we shall use your definition, if he is offered to Fev he will not be going there to be not in the side. Of course we are all assuming he will be sent on loan, he may start off with 5-6 games in academy to get his RL skill back up before going anywhere, he may bypass dual reg all together and go straight into first team squad, we simply do not know how good he is yet. Yes he has not played open age pro RL but has played open age Scottish pro union.

Our two main halfbacks have just signed fulltime deals so I don't think we need him. Bringing in loan players can disrupt a squad so no thanks this time. We'll keep Lilley I reckon when his deal runs out.

Agreed, it seems to have worked pretty well for both sides, I think because there at least appears to be a bit of give and take from both sides.

Rejects Mullaly etc
