Same source I think.

I don't have a problem with Fev doing it - they've had some issues financially and it's a way for them to compete but without having to spend as much. We had to rely on loans when we came back in 2017 when we started from nothing. What I do have a problem with is clubs like Leeds using a system that devalues the game as a whole.

Well at least they are young up and coming players not established players in their mid 20s who couldn't get a game like Leeds.

Chris Hankinson is 25. Although he's hardly established yet, so it's not as big a urine take as some other clubs.

It's worth pointing out that when the current DR rules were brought in in 2013, Featherstone were one of four Championship clubs who were generally opposed to DR but also said that if it had to be introduced, exactly this stipulation should be implemented ie that it should only be fringe SL players who should be eligible and not seasoned SL players. The four were outvoted by the other Championship clubs.

It's now ironic that fans of some of the clubs who opposed this proposal (I don't mean Bradford as the Bulls were in SL at the time) are now sulking about DR players Fev are using.

Well, yes, but I'd guess you'd get the same 'one-eyed' reaction from most fans of all clubs - depending on how it affected [ithem[/i on a particular occasion.

I think that's exactly what it is. The majority of clubs' fans (and indeed chairmen) will always form an opinion of DR based on how it helps/hinders their own side. It'll only be a minority that take a bigger picture view.
