Dual Code Stays : Thu Jul 24, 2014 10:40 am  

Well looks like Dual Code is staying next season. Wakefield can send a load of players to Featherstone to get them into the SL Qualifiers then withdraw them all to stop them from wining promotion. Dual Code has always been a bit of a farce but when you've got Promotion and Relegation with Championship & Super League clubs playing against each other it just becomes ridiculous. https://twitter.com/TheJackDearden/stat ... 0372712448

Don't think the format has been decided upon yet. Saw 'a three man working party' was looking at it in the document that Dearden keeps tweeting photos of.

Never liked it, gives a false picture of a club and could be open to abuse.
I wonder hove many dualers manage to get into the teams when the results really matter. We are doing it the right way and it would be wrong to sign up with a club ie Wigoon again but just imagine this......

We play Fev?Fax etc in a promo decider or do or die game and by some strange timing, Bowen, Smith, J Tomkins, O'Loughlin, and Charnley turned out for us.

I would have thought we wanted to win that one

if this is the case we should abuse it like the rest

I would hope that the 'working party' tighten up the rules and reduce the numbers of DC allowed to stop the abuse highlighted by Swinton last season and Doncaster this season (think they signed on permanent deals 3 'released' by Hull FC' early in the season) Apologies if I am wrong. Whilst it has not benefited Swinton I would suggest it has benefitted Donny and that isn't cos they beat us. We deserved to lose that day

The seasons over lap but some players could earn a living playing union till March the league
Is it worth looking at signing a union lad on loan during the summer?
