Duel reg clubs usually end up faring the worst I think. Apart from the year we were relegated 5th from bottom because the rule breakers had their -3 points penalty given back. But we we don't like mentioning that

The Dews supporters were saying their lads had been dropped to make way for the Wakefield players and gave names of Dewsbury lads who could (and should) have played.

Dual registration is a mockery. That however has never stopped the RFL, SL and the clubs themselves from being terminally stupid in the past, present and future.

I admire clubs like Keighley who do not do Dual Reg , wait a minute , I may have got that wrong .

We have learnt from experience. How bad it is.

Please don't imagine for a second that any dual reg arrangement is in any way popular amongst Keighley supporters. It isn't. Not by a long chalk.

I did not say it was , just making a point .

Not sure what you point is!

On this forum we can only speak as fans not for the club.
I am sure If the Cougars decide to duel reg it wont be with the blessing of the fans.
We did try this with Cas a few seasons ago and it wasn't a success.
I can't see any benefit for northern clubs in the Championship to duel reg.
If there is an injury crises at any club there is always the option for a loan deal.

If any of you had been at the q and a meeting with Craig and Gary before start of season you would know that loan players are paid by the club but DR players are paid by there contract club.Loan players last season proved very expensive for Cougars. What did they add?

Not the supporters fault. Only Fawcett/March to blame for that surely?

Where in that starement was I blaming the fans ?

I didn't realize that, thanks for the info!

That makes the whole DR/loan system even more of a joke IMO. In't good old days you got you players from the A team or signed a player. Seemed to work quite well.

Why oh why
Who would have thought we would duel reg with Batley when they cheated and we were relegated.
Indeed time must be a great healer for some.
Personally I dont understand the need for us to do this. Our team seems stronger this season with a good team spirit.
Might as well disband the reserves not much chance of them lads getting a game in the first team.
As a long time supporter following the Cougars through many bad times, I don't thing there as been a lower point.

Didn't need James Brown today that's for sure, he had a good game though.
