Dual Reg with Batley!! : Tue Sep 20, 2016 8:52 pm  

That would be it for me. I'd boycott Fawcett, Harrison, Cullen and the rest if they let that happen. What a set of dopes. The new coach sounds like he might have some good ideas, but he'd better forget that one sharpish if he wants any support at all in the ground next season.

No duel reg! It doesn't make for honest rugby ... if your going to have success do it of your own back. I won't support a dual reg team!

Dual reg would mean the end of me supporting the team.
That is not the way foreward.

Just out of curiosity CHC what caused you to start this forum "Dual Reg with Batley!" I've not seen anything about the Cougars entering into a Dual Reg agreement with Batley.

Thanks for the link ... I'm really disappointed to hear that from the new coach, I don't want to follow a club that is simply there to give game time to players from the higher divisions, pretty poor show really!

Can't say I agree with DR but if it means that we have a professional rugby club in the town then until the DR is dropped then I think if that's the way the club have to go to survive to rebuild then so be it.
The club will never please everyone if it was a team full of kids getting hammered every week people would say I'm not paying to watch that.
The DR system also has people saying I'm not going down because they don't like that system.
The truth of it is that if you are a really true supporter then you will go down whatever the situation.
If we all boycott for whatever reason there will be no club if that's the way you would prefer it you can never call yourself a supporter of the club.

Well said Mr Hicks. I dont like DR but if this is the only way to sustain Cougars then lets give it a go. True supporters will always be there at CP and also travel away.As one who always stands at the half way line (hail rain or rarely sun!!) I am sure the real true fans feel the same.

Yep I go along with Mr Hicks. Give the new coach a chance - we need to wipe the slate clean and move on. Just being bitter about the past isn't good for our health. The Club has to work within a structure that is what it is and we may as well come to terms with that if want a future.

Fully prepared to give the coach a chance. But dual reg is not the way foreward.
The only team that benefits from it. Is the team whos players are been used.
Dual reg was introduced to save teams in SL money.
