How does it work financially?

Good deal, makes sense for the clubs and the players.

So what happens after that?

Dave

A dual reg player does not have to spend the first month at the new club as loan players do. He can be recalled week by week from day one.

Wigan want another club this side of the pennines in SL and these lads will strengthen Widnes. Wigan get their lads in a better standard league than U20s and Widnes are a better team to go for trophies which they could well need prior to the next round of licences.

Sorry, I didn't explain it well.
It's a season long dual registration
I believe that in the first month the players CANNOT be recalled, but after that they can up to 48 hours before the Superleage clubs match.
If Wigan then don't need the player for the next game, he returns to Widnes, but again may be recalled up to 48 hours prior to Wigan game.

I hope that clears it up a little.
It appears from Teds post above that my understanding of the initial one month perion may be wrong, apologies.

Link on BBC website - as IL says the players concerned, if they had stayed with Wigan, could end up not playing a competitive game until late March, another factor in this arrangement. Seems very sensible to me - especially for Farrell and Davis (perhaps he will learn a thing or two from Terry O'c).

good to see our feeder club is still supplying us with quality young players, if they have as much impact at widnes that ben kavannagh has had then this will be brilliant.

Thanks very much to Wigan for this and to your chairman for his kind words, all will be of benefit to Widnes massively.

Rogues, it's only the players that go on "Loan" that can't be recalled for the 1st month, after the initial 1st month they can be recalled with 48hrs notice.

Not sure how any of this works financially though< One for DaveO?

IFL, we need your assistance!

He said at the fans forum that with the Dual contract players they can be called back at anytime from the first day they are there where the loan players(Davies in this case) can't be recalled until the first 5,6 or 7 weeks have passed(he could remember exactly).

He says on the website that Ainscough and Farrell will spend the majority of their training time with Wigan each week. Maybe thats because Widnes aren't fulltime(i'm not sure on that).

Yeah Cullen stopped them training full time last year.
