So these ' lesser ' players , they earn how much for not playing for Swinton ?

I can see myself going to watch a few Swinton games this year. Why not? But my point is, if your a Swinton fan debating wether or not to go to the game and you hear that Paul wood and Tyrone McCarthy are turning out fot you you'd be more inclined to go.

That is an agreement that needs to be made by The RFL, while they are not paying 9 of the 19 in there squad this week, the money can go somewhere. Maybe instead of pay as you play deals, they should get contracted with a salary from Swinton.

As a Warrington fan who also goes and watches Leigh quite a lot, I would say it has the opposite effect.

Really? Put yourself in their position: could you imagine if we were in the championship, and Wigan came along and joined up with us, then as we enter a new season our squad is half-full of their reserves/kids. I think if I were them, I'd bemoan our fall from grace, criticise the RFL for allowing such a cock-eyed situation, and say f@ck it, I ain't watching Wigan's reserves play in P&B.

As I see it at the moment, Swinton don't have their own identity; they're just our feeder club. For a team with their history that saddens me deeply.

I asked you a simple question , how much would you pay to watch another clubs reserves ?

As a Leigh fan who no longer attends any matches , this just gives me another reason not to attend in the future

They get large crowds of fans ? , how much do they pay to watch ?

Perhaps I am old fashioned, but I simply wouldn't view the team as 'mine' anymore. I would be unable to identify with them. It would be similar to combining two teams into one new one and asking both sets of fans to support it.
I could put up with say a couple of up and coming DR 's, but 5 is too many for my palate. Add to that first team players using the team to get match fit, and it must feel like your team are being 'used'.

And how is it fair to the likes of Fev, Fax, Barrow who have no DR's ? Is the Championship fair, or relevant anymore ?

I wonder if Wire are trying to finesse a reaction to the current 'system' .

How many dual registered players will be in cherry and white at Post Office Road on Sunday? The club is doing great things on the field and behind the scenes, you should try and put whatever grievances behind you. I suspect there is more to it than disillusion though.

None , Leigh aren't twinned therefore cannot have any DR players

Great things ?

I'm enjoying being told how I should feel!

Lets face it other than the C1 2011 league win we have had nothing to cheer for years. If, with dual reg players, we get in the playoffs it'll be an amazing season.

I go watching Swinton week in and week out home and away. I have been to Gateshead, South Wales, Cumbria, and London watching the Lions and I am happy with things. If I am happy and every Swinton fan, bar one moaner, is happy then why are you so worried?

Unless you feel like we are getting the better deal? So is it Swinton or Wire you're worried about?

I seem to remember bringing this problem up when the dual registration situation arose only to be shot down in flames with the reply " It can't happen " ,but it can't be a good system that would give a player more chances to pick up injuries by playing extra games for another club especially if the pitches are not up to the same standard as superleague .

Paul Wood?

Playing for Swinton?
