Well I've never been a fan of dual reg. It seems to cause more problems than it solves. When we stopped making use of it as much we seemed to improve last year but there will have been other contributory factors too. If we do go for a partnership with a SL side I hope we don't see the same revolving door used on 1st team selection as early last year. I'd be happy enough to see us not bother and use our academy and longer term loans if needed.

Dual reg wasn't a huge success for us in 2023, there will be players available for longer term loans who would jump at the chance of coming to Odsal for the season. Fenton was a huge success, if we manage to get player of his ilk again that seems a far more sensible route.

Fenton was brilliant for us, I really hope he kicks on at the giants next season and hits the jackpot, I see him as a future international no danger

Would that be lazy or smart depending on who we might get? |

Its the most obvious link up but personally I can't see it. Duel reg players tend to be last minute additions so how that would work with being based in South of France I don't see.
Plus don't they run a second string in French Elite (St Esteve Catalans?) |

Duel reg scrapped. Excellent move IMO and over a season, the benefits of scrapping it far outweigh the short term gains.

Agreed and with us now running a decent sized squad compared with previous years there should be no revolving door on the playing squad with players coming and going within weeks. That will help continuity and team spirit. If we need to plug any gaps the loan system remains available.

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!
If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/
Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.: |
|
|
So, we’ve given out 23 numbers and have 4 players brought up from the academy and 2 trialists from Saints. Do you think that’s us? Getting all your signings done early isn’t as exciting as previous seasons . I think there’s room for 2 more.
Where are we short? I think we need another prop. Possibly a 2nd row also

It's probably strong enough to begin the season if players aren't available right now. But they may also hold back a signing to announce nearer Christmas?

I like all this stability. I expect O'Carroll wants to work with what we have for now.

I'm getting worried now, with you and Bully Boxer showing a bit of optimism for the forthcoming season!   |
