Quote: Mick W. "My problem with dual registration is the fact that clubs can 'borrow' superleague players for just the odd game, as and when they want. So, for example, a club can suddenly find itself playing an important game against a team which has, effectively, a load of ringers in it, who are only there for the one game.
That is WAY different from an on-loan player, who will no doubt play for a number of games and be, genuinely, a part of that team's set-up for a while.'"
this doesn't happen though. usually fringe players stay fringe players unless there is an injury and they need to move up to fill it.
Lets say a SL has a squad of 25. they have 19 players that are first team squad and the remaining get loaned out to a championship team (personally I'd like to see them be loaned to a lower championship team to bring the leve of the comp up). Anyone of those 6 players may be recalled to the 1st team squad if form or injury dictates it. Of the remaining 19 players in teh Champoionship team they are getting better coaching and training (if the Sl team invests in teh championshiop club) and they are in the shop window to win a Sl contract if they perform well in the team. It gives kids a better opportunity to get in SL, it gives the championship club resources and quality players and gives the kids a more direct route to SL. Everyones a wiinner.
Oi get a real buzz seeing WA players in the NRL even though they are not in a WA team.
