Salford are not picking our team though, we have had players like Evalds train with us only for us to tell him that he wasnt been picked. Surely if Salford are forcing this upon us they would have told us he had to play?

Hudd-Shay. You're boring everyone to "bloody" death with your obsession with DR. Please give it a rest. Maybe in a few years time you'll be sat there in the 3 Pigs (telling us all what you're drinking, as though anyone gives a toss) with the remaining 100 Fax fans awaiting a League 1 match against Oxford muttering "Well, at least we didn't use DR". *Bag Puss Yawn*

Exactly.

We need to be mindful of the end of the season when DR players are unlikely to be available to us, but the way the competition goes now, it's pretty meaningless (in the top half of the table) unless you make the top 4.

I feel we have the balance just right. We're running a small squad on a low budget, with a reserve setup to bring players through. This is being been supported by a few DR players, none of whom have let us down, and we're probably exceeding expectations in terms of results and league position as a result.

None of the DR players has been a "stand out" with only AOB from Huddersfield (on loan) showing a "class above", but do I feel they have been an asset to the team. Without them, would we still be in the mix in what is now a 5-way fight for the top 4?

If you have ever met sharpy orknow campbell, you may disagree.
But neither of that pair would have anyone from another club having any influence on team.selection. particularly Campbell. He'd do without or give leeds the big FO before he would go down that route. The bloke is not the sort to be beholden to anyone.
As I suspect is the case with Richard Marshall
Now I don't know the details of fax tie up with Salford. Nor do I know your coach's views on the system.
But I doubt he will have anything but 100% decision making on team selection.
I think sharpy would quit first.
I share your angst with DR. I just like to see it with some perspective

All true Robin especially the bit about Fev using it more advantageously than Fax. I haven't seen Lannon play but from speaking to folk who have he makes little to no impact on our play. Which brings me back to what's the point?

Agreed little to no impact,hardly Paul Sironen is he..as for our reserves coming through,mightilly impressed and don't want their progress stifled by Salford duds.James Woodburn Hall looks like the next George Williams in the making.

whos to say they are duds?
Baldy omondroyd Briscoe Hanley oledski aren't duds.
We may need the squad depth later in the season. Bust in Leeds players up is preferable to losing ours keeping them rested and avoiding burn out in the 8s.... whichever 8s that is.
My issue is that it dilutes the integrity of the competition and some of the team identity is lost.
I can see the value of playing dual reg players.

Re: Dual bloody reg. : Tue May 02, 2017 5:59 pm  

DR has worked ok for us this year, the lads that have come in have been disciplined and not just made up the numbers, its also shown our players that they have to perform, not only are DR players able to come in, but the Reserves are really putting pressure on them, been as though our squad isn't huge, Richard is making what we have work for us.
Salford are doing pretty well this time round too, we've landed ok with this deal.
Andy O'Brien should never have gone via Bradford and Huddersfield to end up getting a game for us either, we have a history of missing out on lads like him, Fielden another, Luke Robinson too, things are looking better now though, so I wont be getting obsessed over the merits of DR, it's up to us to be in a position in 10 years to be releasing some of ours to lower league clubs.
Keeping those 6 lucky dips on people

Re: Dual bloody reg. : Tue May 02, 2017 7:07 pm  

Just for clarification, I don't agree with DR and think it should be banned. Magic Rock Tap shuddersfield, The Magic Spanner 3.9% Mmm!
