Lets us be under no illusions, the dual reg system has served us well, and as has been pointed out we have used it more before our ' partnership ' , the reason we used it? , well in theory it is a good idea, but as usual like lots of ideas in RL personal ( club ) priorities get in the way of whats best for the game

It should never have been used as a replacement for the reserve competition, the logistics in Australia make it neccessary there, here we dont have that problem

So why did we agree to partner? Money, plain and simple, before the RFL brought in the ' you must partner to DR ' we had already budgeted to have 2/3 players just as we had in previous years, so to attempt to remain reasonably competitive ( top 4 finish ) we had no choice

But as we have seen with certain players and other clubs have found out as well, it doesnt work, simple as

So I have no doubt it wont happen again
