This has slipped under the carpet but....Featherstone have signed a DR arrangement with Leeds. Not only this but Leeds arrangement with Hunslet is still in place. Not only this but Featherstone and Hunslet have a DR arrangement in place as well! I kid you not! Look on totalrl.com. Thank God we haven't sold our soul and gone down this line....hang on!

Grove shudds. Oakham Citra, 4.2 % Mmm!

Pete, you obviously feel stronger about dual reg than you did last year as you have posted it four times.





Regretably for you our dual reg with Hull KR still exists.

Yes we are Dual reg with Leeds. Not ideal and not all Fev fans agree with it, but needs must I'm afraid. It's probably not much difference to us having the four players last season but that cost us 50k that won't have this season.

If you read the report correctly it says that Hunslet will still be able to use the medical facilities etc and maybe borrow academy players if they are ready. Hunslet are dual reg with us and can use our players.

Not sure how it can be a disgrace for us to dual reg with Leeds but not fax to dual reg with Hull KR

What are you drinking Hudd Shay?Posting a thread 4 times,if Fev want to go down this road who are we to judge this,live and let live,stop drinking come and take Jasper for a walk and chill out.

Fevfan, go back twelve months to the same topic and you will see that Pete feels very strongly about dual reg.
He is totally against our association with Hull HR as he is with all other dual reg,s.
Most of us are unhappy with the thought of D/R but accept it, some can't/won't
Pete and I had words last year over our differing opinions and we are bound to disagree this year, however I respect his view.
Don't take it personally.

Worked out ok for us last year didn't it John. Didn't get dictated to by KR and we ended up with Connor Robinson as our own player.

All the best for 2016 to all Fax fans. See you at the shay and all the away grounds.

So proud to be part of the Fax Family.

rugby league is the best sport and my fax friends are the best friends a man can have.

Feeling the man love there neilgreenwood. You been drinking some of huddshays hic beers?
Happy New Year to all.

What about your Leigh friends Neil?

Happy New Year to you as well Dave,from ALL the Carolis.

It's a disgrace for Halifax RLFC to DR with anyone. DR is a disgrace to Rugby League. In my opinion.

Thanks Ian-the same to you and yours. Soon be live rugby time again-yeah.

Apprently dual reg is going to be allowed in the middle 8s too

I thought it was anyway as long as the player had played the required number of games?

I think last season if they had played the required number of games for the Championship club then they could play for either the SL side or the Championship side during the 8's but had to choose which one at the start of the 8's and stick with them.

I have seen it mentioned that this has now changed and they can continue to play for both teams throughout the 8's which seems wrong. Could allow the SL team to call back or send out their best DR players on a week by week basis to influence results in the 8's. Seems unlikely but not impossible.

Quite right.

the RFL says that dual-registered players who have played eight or more fixtures on dual-reg can continue to play for both their parent club and partner club after the deadline.

never a fan of DR. but even worse is letting two full time clubs DR. to me that defeats all its supposed to achieve.

Totally agree and I also dislike DR it discourages clubs developing their own players and it certainly is driven for purely financial reasons meaning clubs don't have to have a Reserve grade/U23s set up, a short sighted move and is hurting the sport of RL as young players are being lost.
It also does not help the smaller clubs really as the DR players are never theirs and lets be honest some are just being used for game time for fringe players by SL clubs.
Go back to the loan set up and a Reserve grade/U23 team for all SL and those below who can afford one

Applying the 8 game rule will make a difference. I wonder how many DR players in 2015 would have qualified to stay with their DR club for the middle 8s. I would hazard a guess at not very many.

Can't believe we're going down this route. An unfortunate side effect of the complete balls we made of last season.

We are totally on our uppers and would struggle to field a team without some ringers from Leeds I fear.

Campbell and Hetherington are big mates, hopefully this is GH helping his mate out short term and not something more permanent.

Not many, and I think you're right.

Why bother with proper registrations ?

Why don't we just get all the fit players in front of the school playground fence and let the coaches take turns to pick players every Friday morning ?

With the greatest of respect Griff that looks exactly what the Eagles are going to do.

Good'un HJ!

Must have missed that report on the Eagles dual-reg, where is the link for this?

Think we may be at cross-purposes here, HJ.



I've no idea what you're referring to.
