Well, one person at the bottom of the thread does.

I don't think short term the implications are feeder clubs, as it appears the rules include dual registrations with more than one club, therefore it is mainly giving young players the change to play at Championship level before going back to their SL club. It worked wonders with Craig Hall last year, for example.

The main concern is that Championship clubs do not focus on their youth teams long term, and the kids go straight to the SL clubs as this path lets them develop in the same way but gives them the golden egg of SL rugby at the end of it. However, this is a long term concern and being selfish hopefully Widnes will be in SL by then anyway, reaping the benefits.

In principal, it's a good idea. I know for a fact Penny and Pickersgill weren't best pleased they went back for one or two games just to give players a rest and then had to sit out Widnes' play-off campaign. This would have allowed then to do both.

Come on Widnes give us some news FFS.

Im one impatient get lately and im fed up of looking at Smokey and Kemick on the official website.

Seconded

Well maybe we won't be waiting that long, believe me we are soon to have a little wry smile on our faces

Hello Matey, can you give a little more info or drop a nice PM to my door.

According to the weekly rag nothing will be announced this week.

The weekly rag will be the last to know as always, but safe to say dependant on a current couple of overseas players here at the moment signing for SL clubs, which is highly expected then our targets will be released to us and two of these are very well known names and it will be interesting to hear the comments from other clubs forums and some of our own moaners...the cries of unfair cap allowances are coming

I like the sound of that

Where is Jamie86 when we need him He's ALWAYS on the ball

Serioulsy Nick i need a PM mate. I normally get some inside info but have had sod all for around a month now.

Pretty please.

You're just begging like a tart now.

Oh look who it is, tartman

you need to get a job!

Already have a full time job squire and a very good one at that, the joy of having an iphone is that i can browse away while working.

I'm intrigued and yet skeptical at the same time.

I want to know as much as you aswell.

Sorry been away sorting some business and not had time to respond. Unfortunately I cannot let anything out of the bag, but enough to say that the hierachy are not resting on their laurels and indeed as previously said the deals will be very significant. One of the players has been confirmed due to the other SL signing happening and the others should follow. Their will be other signings if the right players are available and rememeber alot of SL contracts are not ending till end nov/dec.

Nick it am too impatient to wait till december.

As Fitzgibbon latest to get visa through... one from Hull?

How many are you ment to be signing? It will be interesting to see how it works and how clubs regular players react to having the possibility of lots of changes made to the team each week.
I havnt even heard a mention of Fax looking at any Dual Regs. Maybe we will get one or two from Bradford or Huddersfield but personally i feel its a waste of time, its just another way to get Championship teams to develop talent for SL.

I donbt think you will be going down that route, how many players have you got signed up already??

Word over here is that a former GB prop from our neighbours may be signing for you, apparently Cullen tried to sign him when he was at Warrington.

Paul Cullen was at the recent reserve Grand Final Wigan V saints.

He was impressed by a few of the Wigan players.

You should here something soon, as Michael Maguire arrives this weekend and the reserves are back in for pre-season next Monday.

I heard he would favour a move to Yorkshire but i believe his agents valuation and Fax's valuation are worlds apart.maybe he
might move now all SL clubs are out of the equasion.

Not according to my P.A she is an avid FC fan (think i'll sack her

) and she reckons he will go to Widnes.
