I think if you plan correctly (i.e. not relying on dual-reg's but thinking of them as a bonus if the players are available) then they came be extremely beneficial to clubs.
Widnes had a strong enough side to compete anyway, but they got a quality young prop in Davies for practically the entire season, bonus of having Farrell for a short time and Ainscough.
Out of the three i think Ainscough will have been the most frustrating to them, started off with them, went to cas, back to Widnes. Bit awkward.
As for Farrell, he went there, played very well, forced his way into our side. Thats surely the main point of them.
