Sorry to say this but your club has now lost it's ambition as have the other clubs who have gone down this route.

It will bite your club on the bum.

Your attendances will be hit by this as will other foolish clubs who have gone down this route.

We play Hunslet Sunday. They will play 2 Leeds players who have been in the game too long to have qualified under the old style DC agreements.

You aren't Keighley Cougars anymore you are Castlefords Cougars.

As an ignoramus, tell me isn't this system supposed to work both ways. Your players gain experience with a higher grade of training/game exposure? As I say don't really understand the ins and outs of this system. But on the face of it can't really see any benefits to non sl clubs. According to posts I have read seems to be one way traffic.

The idea of twinning was also for the championship clubs to gain something too. Example is Batley and huddersfield, The Batley players get covered under Huddersfield Medical plan and any injuries and Operations needed will be done straight away as opposed to waiting times and NHS. This is indeed a benefit to their squad. However what has happened and i suppose Swinton started it off is getting around things, Swinton have signed 6 players who were on one year contracts with warrington, Warrington clearly telling these lads that they are being loaned out for a year, this then allows swinton to have a further 5 Dual registered players, this means Swinton could field 11 warrington players. After this everyone else immediatly started registering whole Parent clubs teams, hence the statement from Hunslet and now the mass scramble to link up.

Yet.

From Salfordlad :- "With respect you will end up as a feeder club where Cas will decide who out of their squad they think would benefit from a game at Keighley rather than doing nothing".

Agree with this.

Keighley might be seeing Kirk Dixon and Keith Mason in the red & green soon. Jake Emmitt is back in the Tigers squad for Bulls this weekend.

This has been done to save SL clubs 100k a year.

How many times will the Keighley squad go and train with the Cas team?

On Tue Cas will tell us whcih players we can use. How many times will those players train with Keighley?
