Voted No as really don't like dual reg.

But trust the BOD to do what they feel is in the best interests of the club. As in my humble opinion a very difficult decision to make.

NO from me - dislike DR and the sorry mess that Batley got themselves into says it all for me. If we can't compete as Halifax then I would rather not bother.

As I understand what Richard said was, yes he felt Fax could benefit from DR but he would look more towards loan signings which could be season long with the SL club paying the wages of the player, thus Fax would benefit without the cost. It was also pointed out that Fev probably would not have finished 2nd without their loan players. I also note some of the posters were not at the Night. Lets not prejudge the issue.

Marshall made a case that he'd do whats right for the team, he doesn't want to be dicated to over who he should choose in his starting 13.

He also basically said that Warrington took the p**s out of Swinton, Marlon Billy kept quiet about this issue but i'm sure he too has an opinion.

Neil Arber gave a passionate response, but rightly said that if its a season long loan then that wouldn't quite be viewed as DR by many.

Last thing we want is players turning up for one game to get fit, perhaps we should team up with Hull KR or Wakey to make sure we don't get the likes of Briers or Morley!

On the bolded bit I got the impression he meant it was used the correct way at Swinton with him using examples of how Morley was used and players like Briers and Bridge.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Nodody should be following the dual reg route.

What mess was that?

Firstly I am surprised that only 22 people have voted so far. Secondly I am amazed that 4 people have voted yes. Probably HJ and three bulls fans!

I have always been against dual reg because I felt it was another instance of super league taking over the game and always having the control over the clubs below.
I would be really against us going dual reg if it meant the super league club telling us who we played in our team.
I did think that Richard also wouldnt want this and he said not to think of it as dual reg but as loan signings.
we have in the past benefited from loan signings such as Flanagan from Wigan and Kopzcack from Bradford and Jacob Fairbank from Huddersfield and I think something along those lines would be fine if the players are with us for a decent period .
I thought Richard came across really well on Thursday and I for one cannot wait for the new season to start and I think the board have made a great decision with the new coach (jury still out on Poskitt though)

I agree with all of that. The only thing is though, DR is DR and the loan system is the loan system. Totally different things. Jubble Rooms, Sowerby Bridge. OMB Boneshaker 4.1% Mmm!
