I think the Fax fans dismay is rooted in many of them slagging other clubs for a couple of years for entering dual reg deals, whilst they stayed "independent".

They also don't think we are sufficiently "bigger" than them, and perceive our youth set up to be on a par with Waterloo Road.

Maybe fax don't want them? It seems to me that Hull are basically allowing doncaster to operate for less than they would if they had to pay all of their players themselves so it suits both sides. Myabe fax aren't in the same situation so are holding the upper hand and will only play players when they actually need some cover

I hope they continue to play their own all year. Dual reg is the work of the devil.

And this is why getting rid of the 20's was such a cack idea, players such as marsh, esslemont and co will have no game time fitness and will be (and with no disrespect to them, because i like them) unprepared for a super league match, should they be called upon. They also have no chance to prove themselves and potentially push into the squad on merit. I said after the fax match that with their squad our lads would only get in due to injuries, and I still see that as being the case. I know small clubs can't support big squads and the idea of the 19's was to help that., but to me it is another case of the RFL shooting themselves in the foot

I attended yesterdays fixture (Fax v Leigh) and spoke about this with a reliable source after the game and he said no players have been offered or requested by either club.

Listening to what a few Fax supporters had to say, they were told at a fans forum Marsh wanted to give his squad a chance to impress first before utilising DR. Fax suffered a couple of injuries this weekend so we might well see DR come into operation.

Be a good time for Welham & Cox to get some game time in a competition that is played at a decent standard.
