Gareth Walker has written about dual registration in this week's League Express under the heading 'Clear as mud'. The opening paragraph explains how London Broncos have announced a DR partnership with Widnes, despite Widnes already having such an arrangement with Whitehaven. Broncos can also DR players from Wakefield (who are also in partnership with Featherstone) and have two other DR agreements with clubs in League 1. Gareth asks if the reader is confused yet. Er...YES!
.
He makes some further bullet points:
.
London Broncos now have DR agreements with FOUR clubs - Wakefield and Widnes in Super League, and Oxford & London Skolars in League 1.
.
In theory, and within current rules, the Broncos could dual register with EVERY club in Super League.
.
Leeds prop Andy Yates was named in BOTH Leeds and Hunslet 19-man squads at the weekend.
.
Bratfud Dulls have a partnership with Coventry but last week sent two players on loan and one on DR to Oxford.
.
Wigan have DR with Workington but also have Rhodri Lloyd on loan at rivals Whitehaven.
.
Wigan's Lloyd has also played for Swinton this season, whilst Huddersfield's Oliver Roberts has turned out for both Oldham and Sheffield. Jacob Fairbank played for FOUR different clubs in 2013.
.
London only partnered with Wakefield so that Jarrod Sammut could play for them - Wakefield didn't want to do a loan because that would mean Sammut going south for at least a month.
.
There's more to the article but I'm sure you get the gist. F-A-R-C-E. What a complete joke.
