See that london have dual reg with Wakefield and Widnes & potentially all three could end up in middle 8's when the league splits. Surely there is conflict of interest with the potential of players playing against the club that pays their contract and clubs influencing outcomes by deciding who they send out or hold back during the 8's. Has the rfl got set of regulations in place or just winging it with fingers crossed.

I think he was a bit too subtle for you there wasn't he.

A formal loan arrangement for a player is massively different from the dual reg. nonsense.
Many players are loaned prior to signing for the club that they are loaned to, plus, it is clear for all to see when these arrangement are in place.

The dual reg. thing can be any player at any time (apart from cup matches of course).
It makes a mockery of the sport and s clearly open to abuse.

Mind you, its no surprise for a sport that came up with our new structure.

We're so busy chasing miracle solutions to make RL popular, that, nothing is a surprise

The lack of a reserve grade is a detriment to the sport. That's the main reason clubs use the dual reg system, to keep their players who are too old for the u19s close to match fit.

Not entirely sure why Broncos are getting a slagging here.

Their biggest mistake was going light on the squad size for 2015. Mixing lots of London youth and experience. Having lost Barteau for half season before a ball was kicked, then Adamson left (homesick) and not long after Foran and Cordoba walked a light squad was left threadbare, and unfortunately it was experience that walked. Next we lost the club co captains Slyney and Mathers. So we were back to the bad old days, loads of 18-20yo London boys and no experience. Taking on Gilmore, loan initally and now DR, and Sammut certainly helps but as a long term solution, no.

A frankly all this anti Broncos makes me laugh, Doncaster (4 or 5 current Hull FC players inc Rankin, Pali, etc), Whitehaven (4 or 5 Widnes players), Workington (3 or 4 Wigan players), and the list goes on. As far as I can make out we have only played Leigh with all 17 their own players.
