i don't think the season long loan works either, james clare was on that and he's been called back without setting a foot on the pitch for us!!
its all just disruptive to the team and players thats there every week and the team planning must be murder for miller

last year was ok because we had them for most of the time, which is how it should work.

A loan has to be a minimum of a month now I believe (i think the rule came in when Saints sent Sonny Nickel to Barrow to try and run off a few match suspensions).

But a season long loan is only worth the clauses in the agreement it's written on. (ie call backs etc)

We've got him for Sunday

I was mearly giving a reason on why i did not bother going to the wakey friendly when mr vastman took offence and started to turn things nasty.I was not having a go at anyone until he started. If he can't take it he shouldn't give it.
By viewing other forums ie Wakey, Bradford, VT it can be seen that vastman is one of the biggest trolls and idiots on RLfans.

Oh and by the way well done Bradford!

You're welcome Gary.
They are weird little buggers ......

Yes, can't imagine they'd be to everyone's taste

Don't see why not.
At the moment we have Reece Lyne and Dean Collis running the , with Vince Mellars not gettin a look in, and Lee Smith who will be returning from injury in a few weeks.
All 4 are probably infront of Danny Cowling in Agar's eyes.
I can see Danny Cowling, Lucas Walshaw, Bobby Goulding & maybe Liam Kay all be at the Dons this year.

Is there any truth in the rumour on the Wakey forum that Walshaw has been recalled from the Dons and sent to Dewsbury on a season long loan? Can anyone at the club confirm this?
If this is true it makes a bit of a mockery of the so called partnership. I'd rather go it alone and see how we go without the 'help' of a SL club.
I am really becoming disallusioned with the way this sport is going...

If you are right you won't be alone in being livid.
That is simply not on!

Let's see if it's true first.

well its on the dewsbury website as official and glen morrison
say he welcomes the signing of walshaw

It stinks if you as me but obviously he didn't want to come to donny.

Bring on sunday and our first win COYD

Yes, i eagerly await a response. If however it is true i can't see why they would send him to Dewsbury rather than us, they're hardly leagues ahead of us are they and they already have a tie up with Bradford? Could it be that Glenn Morrison(former Wakefield player) has more say with where Wakeys players go than our 'partnership'?
The more i hear about these DR/feeder club arrangments the less i like it. I see Keighley are the latest club to sell their soul to the devil by linking up with Cas. I can see that when promotion and relegation are reintroduced there will be no independant clubs left in the championship capable of the step up.

He was the best of he Wakey players and really helped us get the prizes.
He seemed to like playing for Donny, if his effort was anything to go by.
I'm gutted by that.

We aren't really doing very well out of this dual reg thing are we?

To be honest i don't think i will be getting another season ticket if we are going to persist with this DR/feeder club situation. I'd rather watch us with our own players in CC1 than not know who we have playing for us from one week to the next depending upon the whims of Wakefield or whoever.

I spoke to Lucas at the Wakefield game and he was looking forward to coming back to play for The Dons this season once his ribs had healed properly . He is from Dewsbury and he would be playing under his old coach in Morrison ,so maybe that had a bearing on his choice of club.

quite frankly this is an embarassment and has been mentioned makes a mockery of the partnership system. Personally I eagerly anticipate next season when we can tell Wakefield 'thanks but no thanks' and retain our dignity.

As I said on this forum only recently we have done pretty well out of the agreement so far. However, this is a very serious warning of how we will be treated when it suits the 'bigger boys'.

Completely unimpressed over this turn of events!

The difference might be that Dewsbury will be paying for him during the loan spell whereas you dont when they are on dual reg?? I dont know its just a thought and maybe the reason why , financial.

We won £70.000 pounds, which compared to the entire season ticket sales is big dosh and yet?
And yet we have a side only marginally better than last term having to play in theory better opposition.
So since we haven't spent it on players, how could Dewsbury be a more attractive offer?
It will be down to travelling as well.
Rugby players will play for anyone.
It might as well be the nearest club if the choices in class are similar.

Or perhaps he watched the game and thought that Dewsbury were the better bet.
If Donny had won, he might have come to us.
Who cares now!

It's a disappointment but he is not irreplaceable. We'll just have to move on.
If the others bed in, we'll forget all about him in a few weeks. If not, this one will run and run.

He has only gone on loan to Dewsbury for a month as we are trying to give all our signed players a chance to shine before going down the dual reg route

So he could still play for the Dons this season?

Yes, We are trying to be fair to all the players from last season and give everybody a fair crack of the whip before looking at other options available to us.
I know we are going to get disguntled players this season when they are not selected ,but that is the nature of the game ,as it always has been. Players want to play ,Fact !!!! You don't have to be Einstein to work out that with a squad of 24 players and only 17 shirts available ,someone will be disappointed each week. However it is up to the players who aren't selected to prove that they are worth the shirt by knuckling down in training and not throwing their toys out of the pram. It is a very long season and injuries and loss of form will occur, so they need to bide their time and grab the chance when it comes. And it will come!!!
