Marshy its not the numbers of DR players its the fact you have had established Warrington players eg Briers, Bridge & Morley.

Of which when they played we won one game....point is.

Marshy Warrington & Swinton have abused the agreement, I understood Dual Reg was meant to give young Super League players game time.

That is the point

Swinton have acted in complete disregard to the idea of dual reg. I am very pleased that you are at the bottom of the table as this I feel is natural justice.

I reckon Tony Smith has abused the spirit of Dual Registration (but sadly not the rules).

I think Swinton hoped it would get them results. In the main it hasn't so it probably hasn't worked for them, just for TS.

Dons asked to give up 6 points generally on the Handicap Betting.

Please explain which rule we have broken and don't Hunslet have Richard Moore playing every week.

Who has said Swinton have broken any rule !

The Wakefield trio of Danny Cowling, Kay and Kyle Trout are also included.
Bit rich when you are including three from Wakefield...oh but of course they are kids a bit like ours but I understand on Thursday we will only include one kid.

Marshy1 so Adrian Morley, Lee Briers and Chris Bridge were just kids too? Danny Cowling played all last season for the Dons, and Kay and Trout have also been regulars for Doncaster throughout this season. None of these are international players returning from injury.

As a club we have turned down other players offered to us from Wakefield because these were players not getting game time. I agree that the Hunslet and Leeds application of the dual registration is also wrong, so I shouldn't have just singled out Swinton. I think it must have been having a dual registration coach that swung it.

I feel for Swinton fans at this moment in time, whether fairly or not, they are being perceived by the whole Rugby League world to having their identity stripped from them.

They've been nomadic in their "home" for some time now playing at Leigh and Salford grounds in recent years, and on top of becoming geographically irrelevant they are now being accused of having their team identity taken away by becoming Tony Smiths play thing as the rest of the sport smugly looks on at their current position.

I would hate to be in that position and see it happen to my club, but at this moment in time this is the hand they have been given.

The last time I saw them at the ground in Whitefield they had plans to soon be in a brand new stadium, I am not sure where they currently stand on that but the impression the chairman at that point gave was that he was putting an awful lot of money into the venture and the club.
