four Months ago Warrington's Paul Wood played in the Grand final and this weekend he'll be packing down at Swinton, presumably surplus to requirements at Wire.... could / should we have taken him on loan? Personally I think he'd have done a job for us.

nope just a deal they have between the clubs

I would imagine he's playing for swinton after coming back from injury?

In my honest opinion I think Warrington are abusing the duel-reg idea by sending 3 Warrington players including Paul Wood to play for Swinton.

Its only what weve done, albeit with fringe players, and if we get someone with a lengthy injury, I dare say we'll be doing the same.

He's playing at Swinton because of "off field problems" and needs to sort himself out.

I don't see the problem, in fact I think its great for the game. Wire get their player match fit without having to take a punt on him, Swinton get a top quality player in their ranks with bags of experience to be around the club for a while and Wood can get fit without the intensity of SL to contend with.

Everyones a winner.

I think its a good idea just it will be exploited.

Kylie Leuluai and Richard Moore have been sent to Hunslet

Apart from his wife.

According certain media sources (rumours) he is on his way to Wigan

He's quality Wood would more than do a job for us imo. Won't be happenin

Is he playing for Swinton or as he gone to be a "ball boy"?

Except the permanent Swinton players who are losing out on playing money.

Apart from when Paul Wood gets recalled at a moments notice.

York players are already getting annoyed, Hull players are coming in and playing to their own game plan, while some are getting dropped altogether.

This is replacing Championship clubs developing their own players.

Yeah, every ones a winner.

Agreed, its a rubbish idea and another own goal by the RFL IMO.

Sadly it's a great idea badly implemented which is the RFL way. You just knew this would happen

If it'd been 5 DR players named at the start of the season, then fine... I think that'd work easier than having your entire team DR'ed at Dewsbury Bulls or Workington Vikings.

If the York players are whinging after one game, then they need to man up, as it were. Prove that they can roll with the big dogs instead of grumbling.

I can see the other disadvantages that it brings but would the fans really be that concerned about a couple of SL stars coming and passing on knowledge they have picked up in the pro game as well as playing at a high level for their club?

Even if it's just youngsters, look how Cowling went on at Donny last year - I doubt many of their fans would complain at the DR system.

Yeah but who cares, just as long as SL clubs benefit who's bothered.

Yeah, man up about some other lads coming in and playing their own game acting like the Big I Am...

You do realise that Championship is still the 'pro game' dont you? its not amateur down here in the doldrums.

Sorry, just badly worded - elite game then if you like.

As for the hull players coming in and acting johnny big , it's down to yorks coach to tell them to conform or they won't play. If hull complain, then he can cite why thy aren't playing and hull will deal with them.

If they are that disruptive and the champ clubs are somehow being burdened with these players, then surely they can tell the SL clubs to take them away.

Or are they actually benefitting? In terms of improving performance and bringing in the crowds that follow.

Its a very idyllic view of the situation you have.

Fact is, nobody goes to see Wigan reserves if Tomkins is coming back from an injury, why would the fans of a club he's dual registered at go see him make a recovery in their shirt? they are essentially reserve teams now.

Wire don't appear to be the only ones guilty of abusing practice - Kylie Leuluai and Richard Moore turning up for Hunslet this Sunday while registered with leeds.

Only Moore. Leuluai isn't due to Visa restrictions.
