I'm afraid it's the responsibilityof each & every club to know whether or not their players are eligible for any competition, simple as that.

I don't disagree I was merely pointing out that on this occasion it MIGHT never have come to light if someone hadn't posted it on here.

I also agree that it is down to the club, you should know exactly who is playing for you and their current status and availability.

Why wouldn't they post it on a social networking site ? It doesn't matter how the info gets out does it ? The fact that someone is inept in their job is the problem. I pointed something out similar in an email to some of the club directors within the last 12 months and two directors replied that they don't really understand twitter, facebook etc. That doesn't make it right though, the fact that the players & employees are briefed about such behaviour & still partake in it is the problem, a bit similar to gambling on a game you might be playing in !

I agree too it is the responsibility of the club to know who is eligible, but it's also in the interest of the wider game to avoid incidents like this and it would have been better all around if the RFL had advised clubs on player availability.

Interesting that the player in question for Dewsbury played again today...

Colin I never said they shouldn't have, just making a true statement.
You seem to have the bit between your teeth for some reason so I will let you have the last word.

His status is now 'on loan'. Doesn't mean that Dewsbury won't cop for it, though.

Re: Championship clubs fielded ineligible players : Sun Aug 03, 2014 7:37 pm  

Have to ask -- in the rules, if a dual reg player does not qualify for the requirements to play after the cut off date, how does he then qualify as an on-loan player after the signing deadline?

It all sounds a farce and this should be spotted in real time with any attempt to field an ineligible player punished by playing with less players for the game.

No mention of Dewsbury.
