From the York Press-

Probably

Well done York for showing the way. Key phrase there
"This dual-reg agreement had come increasingly under fire from York supporters"

Sound familiar?

Does anyone know whether the six month notice period standard or something that was contracted in by Hull/York?

Duel Reg = Reginald Arnold Plover , an 18th Century Highwayman , noted for his fondness of fighting with Swords and Pistols , nothing mentioned about being a Party Animal though .

.

Doncaster have also scrapped their agreement with Wakefield after their coach Tony Miller accused Richard Agar of trying to pick his team for him last weekend

They also say that it doesn't mean they won't go into partnership with another club .

I'd hope our club with all the positive noises and signs coming out of it will also quietly drop a DR agreement that was exceptionally controversial when implemented.

I can understand why this is a difficult one for the board, I expect they will want to end the agreement and quietly brush it under the carpet but it is important to do it on good terms. Whilst the headline "Rowley tells Wane where to shove it" may generate cheers on the terraces it wouldn't go down well with Wigan Rugby and like it or not it is important to mantain strong relationships with other clubs, especially those nearby.

I agree, good post that mate.

I hate DR system as much as everyone else but we can only resign from using them if our attendances increase & if the loan system is as straight forward as being able to draft players in from any SL club if needed & quickly. Rowley wants a bigger squad but it depends on whats affordable/sustainable for our club so the question is do enough people care about Leigh Centurions to start turning up? Start showing it on Sunday in attending & onwards please & I'm sure Andy will tell you that the use DR's would be dropped no doubt with better attendances at the LSV.

Fully agreed Keith, plenty of other RL players to use other than Sooper Dooper League "squad players/one's lacking match fitness"
BARLA have quite a few.
If a 'championship' club would like to get a SL player (from any club) on loan, for maybe 1 month, then fine. RFL limit clubs (apart from Sheffield) to a maximum of 1 overseas player (is it ?), the same should apply to SL loanees, no more than 2 in one matchday squad.

Good riddance

But what will people have to moan about then? They're going to have to think up another excuse to stay away.

Mish....admission fee to games, after all we do charge £1 more than Batley !!!

Dual reg can now foxtrot oscar. Especially between Leyth and Wigan. Grow a pair and never let this happen again.

Or maybe the club think of more reasons for everybody to attend?

It isnt a ' given ' that everybody should go to watch the rugby, it is an entertainment business first and foremost, provide entertaiment in an exciting enviroment and work from there

It isnt rocket surgery

Spot on. It is harder than ever now with a superfluous amount of tv channels, on demand viewing, games consoles, tablets, smart phones etc etc to help people pass time on a dreary Sunday. All clubs need to really try hard to make their games unmissable. The example I always use is Leeds Rhinos, whenever I have been there whether it is a Monday night or a Sunday evening they always make the whole event, not just the 80 minutes of RL feel like a huge event. Replicate that and you are well on the way to success.

Not bad that £1 extra for keeping dry...

Clubs will just go back to loans which is just as much of a pain because the parent club can still recall a player at the drop of a hat. The only good thing to come out of it is Tom Spencer, we may have never had him otherwise. And didn't Ryan Brierly originally come on a DR?

I agree that the demise of the DR program is a big positive, and that we should go it our own way from the Wigan deal,
But who are you suggesting to "grow a pair" ?
Surely not the supporters that stepped in and put their own money on the table to take our club forward as the BOM.

Lets us be under no illusions, the dual reg system has served us well, and as has been pointed out we have used it more before our ' partnership ' , the reason we used it? , well in theory it is a good idea, but as usual like lots of ideas in RL personal ( club ) priorities get in the way of whats best for the game

It should never have been used as a replacement for the reserve competition, the logistics in Australia make it neccessary there, here we dont have that problem

So why did we agree to partner? Money, plain and simple, before the RFL brought in the ' you must partner to DR ' we had already budgeted to have 2/3 players just as we had in previous years, so to attempt to remain reasonably competitive ( top 4 finish ) we had no choice

But as we have seen with certain players and other clubs have found out as well, it doesnt work, simple as

So I have no doubt it wont happen again
