It is a bum deal in hindsight. In loan deals, the bare minimum players had at clubs was three weeks or a month I think. No call-back clauses in that, etc. I think the dual reg system should have some sort of similar clause.



For example, whereby Dean plays for Widnes in round 1 of the Champ, he is ineligible for Saints until after four games have been completed after that first game. He can then go back to Saints, or they can let him continue at Widnes and risk not having him available for selection for another month. We have to rememberthat Dean, Farrell etc belong to SL clubs, and their aspirations of playing for these teams will always rank higher than playing in the Champ. But if Championship teams are forced to field players that are some way short of the capabilities required to compete, then the system ought to be scrapped.

By the way, fwiw, I was doing the analysis of Sheffield v Wigan in work last night. Farrell came on just before half-time and remained on the field for the rest of the match I think. He played well, despite Wigan punching holes at ease.

dont think that would work as sl clubs would think twice about giving players to lower leagues if they cant play them if 1st team players get injuries. I think dual reg is good IF the team isnt over dependant on the DR players

I think leigh have benefited better than widnes to be honest.Ainscough went in no time,dean played 2 games and not been back again.Farrell has played until easter period.But i can not see him coming back as he is very good.So in hindsight it has been crap this dual reg for widnes.I think next year i would only take one dual at the most and look for a loan player.Do you think any of the dual will go to wire, and stay like our players have mate?

Maybe our mistake was aiming too high with the quality of dual reg players we were after? Or maybe we've been unlucky that the teams we've got them from have had a similar amount of injured players as us, causing them to be re-called. e.g. Leigh have been fortunate as Wire have been fairly injury free and left their 3 with them mostly.

Really?

Lest we forget, we've not had a chance to play Dean and Ainscough has been farmed off to Cas so Wigan don't even need him. They don't have an injury list. They wouldn't be riding high top of the league with a list similar to ours.

Ben Davies is not in the squad of 19 so maybe we can extend his loan for another 3 to 6 months?Wigan have harrison hansen,coley,roberts,goulding,Leualai, and is it deacon out of the squad.So if hansen and coley come back, maybe we could be in for some luck.We may aswell scrap the chris dean contract as he defo wont come back.Rumours that Tuson could be going back to Wigan,due to the culture at cas.

Hasn't Davies gone to Leigh after Wigan realised he has more to gain at Leigh now we have a coach and he is a Leigh lad going to Leigh college some 30 yards away from the club.

Just something I heard but havent seen yet

Can't he just move his caravan to Warrington, then he will be equidistant between us and the college.

One win against Halifax and the would be championship 1 team leigh are acting like a particularly nasty Alan Rickman character.



There is no way the RFL are going to promote you given the slice of fortune already bestowed on your club. Stop acting like the big "I am" and behave the lot of you. I've seen more threatening earthworms than Leigh.
