That's why i mentioned the "outcome" of the competition.

Matt mentioned "The league, Hunslet and York winning it."

The teams who are in this partnership will want to play their strongest side available to them at all times but this could and probably will vary by their Super League players.

It may well hinge on if and when the Super League clubs have to recall any of there players due to their internal situation, this will affect the strength of the Championship side.

How many of the players from the Super League partners will be available to the Championship will be down to the Super League club not the Championship club.

They could be stronger if all the players from S/L are available or it may work the other way and they could be weaker if they aren't.

This will apply during the weekly rounds and in the play offs
= unbalanced results by sheer chance.
More so than if they just had their own "traditional" squads.

On the other hand I may well be talking rubbish, I usually am but it's passed an hour or so untill we get kicked off.

At the end of the day, these dual reg players will be fringe players. Danny McGuire isn't going to be playing for Hunslet this year. It won't make all that much difference.

I agree. I'm not concerned.
