I wonder where the DR with Hull is going? It doesn't seem to be working for Hull because their fringe players aren't getting much game time here. It's not working for us because we haven't been able to use it to bring in a touch of class apart from Feka (as we did a couple of seasons ago when Ben Crooks and Richard Whiting played for us) and we aren't using it to help provide cover in case of injuries.

To help cover for injuries, we would have to have made sure enough Hull players played sufficient games earlier in the season to be qualified to play now.

Maybe when people on here were moaning about dual reg that it isn't fair on players already at the club etc maybe that is why the club didn't use Dr as much?

Re: Feka : Tue Aug 02, 2016 11:05 am  

Lets not use it at all next season then , if we had got a couple of Hull players on loan this season would have been better .

Totalbrutality do you think the club are influenced by our opinions ? what are your views on d-r.

I would like to think so where they are able and I feel the fact Dr wasn't used after there had been a lot of moaning on here proves that. They only kept feka as he showed he wanted to play.

My view is that it should be scrapped clubs should use players that they have signed keeping the competition fair the quality of signings is up to the fans coming through the gate and how money is uses within the club. If a player is not getting game time loan him to a lower league and the rfl should also let players gain match fitness at local amateur clubs

Re: Feka : Tue Aug 02, 2016 11:45 am  

Feka did show he wanted to play as did Reece Dean to be fair .

Why dont you ask your coach why he doesnt use D/R with Hull?
He did the same at York when they had D/R with Hull Fc hardly used any of the D/R Hull players including Jamie Shaul so Hull Pulled the plug the following season.
With Thornton there wouldnt surprise me if Hull FC have already decided to limit available players because Thornton was not giving them any game time.
So different when Paul Cooke was at Doncaster

Re: Feka : Tue Aug 02, 2016 5:30 pm  

The attitude of some of the players we have has been poor, not going to name names, but only Feka & Reece have looked interested.

Re: Feka : Tue Aug 02, 2016 7:24 pm  

DR probably hurts team morale because our own fringe players get left out.

Our squad gets reduced because we lose the players that aren't playing regularly. We then get left short of cover.

The only real answer I can see is to have a second team, where the players who aren't getting first team rugby at least get to play games, and that might keep them happy. We would maintain a big enough squad to cover everything ourselves.

Aaron Jones-Bishop has shown extreme patience and loyalty to the club. But I can fully understand why players who aren't playing want to leave.

But Jones Bishop is getting game time with Hull Fc under 23s
D/R is not ideal but certainly helped you when Cooke was in charge when 4 or 5 Hull players were in the team.
Look how far you have dropped since then
If your coach has handled D/R in a meaningful manner you could have been promoted this season back into the championship enabling the club to build from a more competitive position to attract new players.

Maybe decisions regarding DR etc are taken out of the coach's hands ?
