Would we want to do that with Unit and risk him being snapped up by another team in the league.

Saying that can a DC be registered for 1 team and then go to another if it is cancelled?

I do love the nickname 'unit'

Millward is not happy with de registering the duals as if they are available for the semi's they have had to play 75% of league games but a dispensation can be applied for if they get injured or called up by their SL teams, if they de rigister then re register then it is deemed a new contract so they would be unavailable for semis, also or any player to be eligable for NRC they have to be registered by 4th June.
it is a waste of time getting a young half back on loan as they couldnt possibly learn the calls and drills the team uses in time.
And it is definately only 4 loanees or duals or a mixture of both, to get anyone else on board they will have to be signed contracted players.
The ODD thing is there appears nothing in the rules that says a club cant de register their duals and sign loaness for the semi's, a big loophole there if true.

In that case, let's keep Unit then. Thought there might have been a loophole somewhere!

I think a Ridyard-Duffy partnership at half-back and, if Nicholson isn't ready, then I suppose rotate Durbin and Jock at hooker. Got a huge concern about Durbin's defence though.

i haven't he hasn't got one

maybe if we get desperate we could get rid of injury prone hartley & sign blyte on a permanent as i dont think he is in wire plans & ay presto we have a free DC spot if required

Basil is no fool. As the injury has been picked up at widnes, one would assume that he has been grooming someone else to slot in at 7 over the last couple of weeks.

That would be no good in the long run as he couldnt play in the required amount of games to appear in the semis

Imo Durbin will not be in the 17 duffy/ridyard jock full 80mins with stanton dropping in at D/H helping jock out

Maden to stand off Riddy to scrum half Mort on wing.................

Is the water on your side of the estate phsychadelic?

For once we have a really well balanced squad with adequate cover for all positions, not to brag.
I do think Paul offered you a lot of structure, but one player doesnt make a team, dont fret too much.

Duffy will play scrum half surely, he's played most of his career there or at 9 and he's a natural replacement. What the hell has happened to Tim Hartley btw, is he just out of favour or also injured?

I'd like to see Dave Alstead back in for Stanton if I'm honest, far better defensively and for me is more likely to break the line and make the yards. Nicky is 110% but I don't think he's in Dave's league.
