This is what has been written in this weeks RL press concerning the issue.

Quote. "Richard Marshall believes there will be only positives for the club in their new partnership with SL club HKR.

Part of the deal allows Fax to take dual registration players from the Robins, a move that has attracted criticism from some supporters.

But Marshall says the link will extend beyond that and having worked in a partnership before while at Warrington he insists he is going into it with his eyes open.

Marshall said, We didn't enter into this lightly, it was a decision that was made over several months. Negotiations started before I joined the club, then talks staled while I got the squad going and we reentered then.

There were a couple of other interested parties but this was the best fit for us and from a Halifax point of view it's a win-win. We have access to high quality players both in the juniors and the first team if we need them and the commercial side is very impressive as well and here there will be links with HKR.

Iv'e been involved with dual registration before and seen both sides of the story. I needed to link up with Chris Chester and Willy Poching and I've done that and we spoke about the potential issues and the positives that will come out of it.
I know both well and that's the key, in a working relationship you need that trust element.
We said straight away if anyone had any grievances to speak about them now and we did that and I think it worked well.

As a follow up also in this weeks RL press under " Dual reg gets a shake up".

Part quote.

A key part of the structure will be a limit of 5 DR players and 1 loan player per club.

After round 23 of the regular season players will have to commit to either their parent club or guest club.

A pit fall could be that any club who becomes over reliant on these players if they are all recalled by their parent club (which they could be) would leave the guest club facing severe pressure.

It's beyond belief that anyone believes this garbage. January 11th Hull KR v Halifax. How the Fax directors will be able to look their counterparts in the eye is beyond me.

I think our very own Dalesman could have a point here about a takeover, it may already be under way. I popped into Town to get some Christmas Cards this afternoon and every other one had a fookin Robin Red Breast on the front sat there bold as brass on a spade handle. No matter where you were in the shop it's eyes seemed to follow you.....spooky .

This is a very emotive subject and DR is not something I agree with or believe in BUT is it worth losing the club I have supported for around 50 years? No I don't believe it is and so I will continue to support them, in fact I feel that keeping KH would have been an even worse scenario and if he had stayed I could very well have walked away as I felt that there was too much damage being done week in, week out.

HuddShay, you have stated your position and I respect you for that but you will be missing out, hopefully, on a great season for Fax. We can only all wait and see what happens and I do hope RM has the control he says he has.

For now I wish you all a blue and white Christmas and when the red,red Robin comes bob,bob bobbing along we all know what to do!

This. Couldnt get in the Canberra team and finished the season playing for the Mounties on occasion alongside the players we brought in. By all accounts he didnt stand out at that level and will struggle to regain his form after his bad injuries.
