Bit of a shame really. I always thought Halifax were a big enough club to stand on their/our own. I don't like DR as it is and saying this agreement is better because we get to select players from a different team to play in ours doesn't really make me warm to the idea. I'm sure I read recently that Halifax aren't running an under 20's next year, if that is correct then what message does that send out to local teams that Halifax as a professional club would rather develop other clubs' younger talent from miles away than our own local talent?
I was feeling pretty excited for next season with a very promising coach and an influx of new players, all capped off with a traditional jersey. What gives Hull KR players the right to wear our traditional colours just to benefit themselves and their own club? Perhaps I'm being over dramatic and maybe even missing a point or two, but I feel a tad let down by all this.

They get the right to wear the colours if they are picked by your coach to play in your team. They will only be picked if your coach believes the player is better than what is available in your own squad. Yes this benefits the player and so also benefits Rovers. If he is better than what you have surely that also benefits your team. Taking someone on loan from another club has the same immediate benefit. The tie-up between the three clubs goes beyond this however and the off-field liaison hopefully will have long term benefits for all.
