| Just had a look at the championship table and both clubs look to be struggling.
How fitting would it be if they finished the bottom 2 after what happened last season. Sport never seems to happen the way you want but this would make a nice change.
I may even step foot in either ground again!

| More fitting if Keighley get promoted this season (then hopefully we wouldn't need to step foot in their grounds again for at least another season anyway).

| You cannot blame the two teams.
Rules were broken. The failings by the rfl are the problem.

| Why not GW?
Had they accepted the punishment originally meted-out by the RFL then we would not have been relegated, so why aren't they to blame?
I agree that the inept administrators also had a hand in it also, but had the Clubs not played ineligible players in the first instance then this sorry saga would never have developed as it did.

| I think, the only time I have ever wanted the Dulls to win a match was this year when they played Batley.
I am very surprised with how poor Doncaster are this season, something has certainly changed there.

| I would see it fitting that any club using Dual Registration sees themselves near the bottom of the table. Batley is one of the clubs that represents the more sour elements of DR for me (the administration of it or lack thereof). Whereas other clubs represent the unfairness aspect when Dual Reg players significantly affected the outcome of games that we ended up losing.
What has changed at Doncaster? Do they still use Dual Reg to the same extent?

A dilemma indeed. I was hoping they would both lose

I completely agree with that initial statement. It didn't do Swinton any good when they were DR'd with Warrington and I hope that's a trend which we will see continue. Swinton don't do it any more so now I can say that I wish them well for the season.
.
Dons is a bit strange. They had some fantastic results last season, albeit they got duffed by Batley at home in the final match Appen that was the start of their decline. I believe they have used as many as four or five Hull players in their team in at least one game this season but not sure whether they've been doing it regularly. If they have, then sorry but I hope it doesn't work.

They appealed and got what they needed.
The rfl did not put the correct rules in place.
They are to blame full stop.

| They are both to blame, in my opinion:
The teams for knowingly doing it
The rfl for not doing something about it.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if those two teams got desperate and did it again. The RFL are already investigating Leeds and their actions with Hunslet and Featherstone. It seems like they may be doing things to try to bypass the rules.
It just says to me that the whole system is a farce

Good, that's encouraging and it improves my opinion of Batley which hasn't been all that good since the latter part of last season. If you're looking in, Bat Lad, do you know why your club has binned off DR for this season?

| I can't help but find this topic and the posts in it quite obsessive.
The RFL should have punished the clubs, but didn't.
Our team should have done better over the course of the season, but didn't.
It is not the fault of the fans of Batley and Doncaster for this.

I cannot see where anyone has insulted the fans Connor.
Yes the main reason we went down was the bad quatiry of rugby , one more win would have kept us safe ....but it didn't
But also being done up like a kipper by the RFL didn't help us keeP
us up either did it ?
Nobody nlames the fans , the two clubs & RFL yes
but not the fans.

Yeah think we realised DR is crap didnt do us any favours last year, I believe Huddersfield now have gone with Oldham.
You only have to look at Donny this year to see DR doesnt work, they rely heavily on Hull 4/5 players every week and and like this weekend Hull have a mini injury crisis and their stuffed
Good luck with you push for promotion this year.

| Glad Batley have seen sense. Hopefully all the other clubs will see sense too and stop Super League dictating our game. I agree in some form of youth player development, but right now the system is unfair and farcical.

| Gareth Walker has written about dual registration in this week's League Express under the heading 'Clear as mud'. The opening paragraph explains how London Broncos have announced a DR partnership with Widnes, despite Widnes already having such an arrangement with Whitehaven. Broncos can also DR players from Wakefield (who are also in partnership with Featherstone) and have two other DR agreements with clubs in League 1. Gareth asks if the reader is confused yet. Er...YES!
.
He makes some further bullet points:
.
London Broncos now have DR agreements with FOUR clubs - Wakefield and Widnes in Super League, and Oxford & London Skolars in League 1.
.
In theory, and within current rules, the Broncos could dual register with EVERY club in Super League.
.
Leeds prop Andy Yates was named in BOTH Leeds and Hunslet 19-man squads at the weekend.
.
Bratfud Dulls have a partnership with Coventry but last week sent two players on loan and one on DR to Oxford.
.
Wigan have DR with Workington but also have Rhodri Lloyd on loan at rivals Whitehaven.
.
Wigan's Lloyd has also played for Swinton this season, whilst Huddersfield's Oliver Roberts has turned out for both Oldham and Sheffield. Jacob Fairbank played for FOUR different clubs in 2013.
.
London only partnered with Wakefield so that Jarrod Sammut could play for them - Wakefield didn't want to do a loan because that would mean Sammut going south for at least a month.
.
There's more to the article but I'm sure you get the gist. F-A-R-C-E. What a complete joke.

Should be one of the criteria for Superleague membership.

| I read an interesting tweet from Gareth Walker (RL Journalist) the other day:
"London, who already have a duel reg agreement with wakefield (also partnered with fev), sign one with Widnes, who have one with Whitehaven"
There's something inherently wrong with our game
Reading the reserve team news is great, very refreshing amongst the sour taste of the DR scandals. Very glad we never DR with anyone, id rather be in Champ 1 and have a solid youth development. Without a reserve team how do clubs develop players?

They don't, they either buy overseas crocks on ridiculous contracts or pay peanuts to any club who has a potential 'good un'.
Training and development of players is HARD WORK. Lots of clubs find that anathema.
