Quote: Connor "Is what you're saying effectively the opposite to this in that these players do not have an impact on team performance?'"
I think by and large they don't. When Swinton were DR'd with Warrington it didn't do them any good. North Wales had that arrangement with Wire last season and it didn't do them any good either. Oldham were DR'd with Huddersfield Giants but they played their best rugby with their own players after the Giants went back to their parent club. It certainly didn't work for us during that brief period we were with Cas.

My own opinion is NO, NO, NO. NEVER! It's a total shambles of a system, devised with the SL clubs in mind. It's entirely for their benefit, not ours (clubs at our level) and the way it has been abused is shameful.
