Paul Wood has been dual registered with Swinton, and will play on Sunday against Workington along with Tyrone McCarthy and James Laithwaite. Seems my predictions about this warped new system and its effects on the Championship are being realised. www.swintonlionsrlc.co.uk/compon ... ngton.html |

I guess the other six will be on season long loans at Swinton and will be loaned back to Warrington for a minimum of a month if required.

This must be tricky for the Swinton coach and the team. In some ways it would seem great to suddenly get three decent players added to your squad but it must be a bit de-motivating for their Swinton based players. Funny system this.

If I was a Swinton player I would jump at the chance to line-up alongside a someone of Paul Wood's stature in the game.

It is a vicious circle really. The board of directors at Swinton only really have one ambition- to get a new ground in the town. Use of the new dual registration system offers the chance to cut costs. Steve McCormack is paid to get results- he can't say no to someone like Paul Wood. Meanwhile a Swinton player misses out on his appearance fee, winning bonus (if any) and game time. I have wrote at length on here about why the system is flawed and destroys the integrity of the Championship, so I won't go into it again.  |

Even if it meant you weren't actually playing that week? |

Do the maths, they don't get special dispensation to have an extra man on the field! |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

4 of Swintons playing squad recently moved to Australia for a RL playing holiday, quite possibly as a result of this system , they are looking to play PT over there |

| As a Swinton fan i am pleased as punch to see someone like wood turning out for us. If it upsets the current squad then you have to question their mental attitude as i dont want Swinton to be seen as easy money for average players.
Lets face it if people were really bothered about the state of the game then P and R would be brought back. As it stands nobody cares about the lower leagues, unless they support a team in them. We are just playing the system.
Anyway whats the chances of lending us Moz and Briers for the end of the season playoff games.  |

Keep banging away as far as I am concerned as I completely agree. And the rules for this system are being made up as they go along. The most recent are that there will be a notional cap value for all S L players who play in the Championship ( set below their actual value) to ensure the CC clubs don't exceed their own cap in the year.
There are no less than 9 Wire players in the Swinton 19. How demoralising is that for a Swinton supporter ?, or player for that matter. Widnes have DR'd their entire squad with Workington, but I am assuming that there will still be a max of 5 players that are allowed to actually play.
Since Currie and Saltonstall have not been named, I assume they will be in the U19 game vs Cas tomorrow.

I don't see why this is seen as such a disaster. Works well in Aus, players playing Toyota Cup while waiting in the wings of the first team. Keeps players fit, gives them a chance to prove themselves, more interest in the Swinton games getting more people in... everyone's a winner. Swinton should do the same with their lesser members of the squad and lend them to a conference club
