Have your dual reg players played enough games in order to play in the play-offs? They have to have played in a percentage of games in order to qualify to play.
I hope i'm wrong but i belive the rule highlighted below may rule Chris Green out of the Playoffs.
B3:15 Following completion of the RFL Match programme in each of Championship and
Championship 1 the Clubs occupying the top six positions in each such league or such teams
as the Board shall direct shall respectively go forward to contest the Championship and
Championship 1 Grand Finals Series, the format of which competitions shall be confirmed by
the RFL from time to time. For each of these matches, with the exception of the Grand Final
Match itself, the higher placed Club in the league table shall have the choice of ground. If a
Club is unable to stage a match on its own ground on the date or at the time required by the
RFL or SLE’s broadcast partners the Board may direct that such match be played at an
alternative venue (which may be the ground of its opponents) on the date and at the time so
required. In addition the Board may order a club to play on a Friday where in the Board’s
opinion circumstances including rest periods between matches make it reasonable to do so.
Dual Registered Players shall only be eligible to play in these Playoff series provided that
the player has played in at least 50% of the club’s Championships fixtures during the season
in question and in this context Championships fixtures shall mean either League Cup and
League fixtures or just League fixtures whichever provides the higher percentage for the
player in question Clubs shall be entitled to apply for a dispensation under this rule where
the Player has been injured.
