I had us down for four potential losses in remaining games.

I think those are now 4 definite losses.

to lose your first choice 1,6, 7 and 13 for the season completely wrecks the teams structure.

It looks like we will be reliant on Wheeler for kicking which means teams will just target him and take him out of the game.

Playing Wello at halfback just offers nothing. At least at fullback he offers the support play in attack

I think we will need to go with Turner and Wheeler in the halves.

Jones will need to move out to centre.

I'd agree with that but sometimes adversity brings out the best in players like when we beat Leeds with 8 first team players out. Sometimes players sit back and expect the likes of Walsh and lomax to do a little magic but with them not there they might stand up.

We might have scrapped a few wins if we had Wilkin and lance in the halves but that doesn't look like likely as only prob lance will play again this year.

I think we'll be all over the place next week vs hull and will lose. I can only see us beating Wakefield.

Hull lost both there halfbacks that played vs Castleford, and Ellis seemed to be struggling too. They're in the same boat, except a lot worse off

Is Miller playing for them still? Not seem him for a while.

He's either on loan or dual reg at Doncaster. Either way, from what I've heard, he won't be playing for hull again...

Shame we couldn't have got him in then but someone's said the deadline has passed.

The rules are as follows:



I [ibelieve[/i the bold bit is referring to the general RSCM exemption application process - no idea if it's usable though...

That's so ambiguous it could barely be considered binding!

Could we use are dual reg clubs?

I don't believe so as the player would have had to be dual registered with us before the deadline, the dual registration is done on an individual player to player basis rather than club wide.

Dual reg isn't something I know a lot about, but I believe all players to be dual registered have to be declared at the start of the season - but every team seems to have different set ups with their dual reg, so I suppose it depends what we've agreed with Whitehaven and Rochdale - I must say, I have no idea about the quality of their halves though...
