Like a championship side mate.

The problem comes when it gets to the Super 8's and the championship clubs start bringing in dual reg's from the top 8 clubs. Prime for abuse.

We will just have to say no to the Championship sides when the time comes won't we?

No problem with this whatsoever.
If we can have all of our squad playing every week, they will be ready to go when needed.
With a 27 man squad and only 17 needed on match day, this is the best way of the whole squad maintaining fitness etc.

We will most likely suffer injuries/ loss of form at some point and the loan deals are an excellent option.

And, as Webster has already commented, Easter is just around the corner and this period always tests your squad.

28 with Joe Arundel.

Could not agree more.

Interesting that Kirke hasn't been loaned out. It may be that he'll have a bench spot coming up over the next week or two.

Matty Ryan scoring a try today for fev

And so as Molloy for sheffield

Is sammut leaving you guys?

Always rumoured, not had much game time, so my guess, yeah.

Would far prefer to have a second team league than dual reg, would make it far easier to develop younger players, maintain squad fitness levels, get players back to match fitness and all while playing to the same system as the first team so lads can slot straight in when required.

Rumour going round he's signed for Workington, here's hoping

He'd be great for you

abso - frickin - lutely!!!
