I think Hull are sticking with just Doncaster. Given that the top teams, Wigan, Saints, Hull and possibly Warrington are already taken, the lower teams I feel do not have much quality outside their main squads other than Leeds but even they are in a transitional period, it does not leave that much choice although I can think of one recently promoted team that I think a DR system could be perfect for us.

I happen to like the DR system,and at Hooker alone we have 4 very good players in Higham, Pelissier,Hood, and Foster, in the pack we have a fair few players to pick from, unless we get injuries I can't see Ben Reynolds being in the first 17, yet he is a very good leader at Championship level, I'm sure RM has a good relationship and contacts at Leigh, being a former Leigh player , so it could benefit both Clubs, remember if you don't ask, you don't get.

Ey-up mate. I don't want to sound like a stuck record but NO club benefits from DR. It may be of use short term for those clubs that are too short sighted to dismiss it but continued use of it will only lead to one thing. Remember Bramley/Huyton/Blackpool Borough? See you and the lads soon. Up The Fax!

Let me know how York, Whitehaven and Workington benefited. Just three clubs who couldn't raise a full team come the sharp, pointy end of the season.

Jeez - at one time, we'd have been embarrassed to turn up for an A team game with 12 players.

Why thanks very much Griff ,we are entitled to our opinions are we not?I have mine you have yours, I stick by min and think DR s used in the right way can be very useful, I'm not privy to what happened at the Club's you give as an example,but look how useful the DR system has been to Fev, and remember no club is forced to DR.
