my point is there is the rule for DR players.Im suprised clubs are not aware of this, this has been am on going discussion on out forum and others for most of july as the deadline approached.We have 2 players hand and forster who have played for us all season who can play after the deadline, but were were suprised on sunday when Adam swift was in the rochdale team the first time he has played for them this season, we would have though if he was eligable to play we would have seen him up at haven like last season

NWC are reportedly being investigated for an illegible loan player this season too...technically a different offense but obviously will be interesting to see if anything happens

Now, maybe I'm trying to over-simplify something that is a touch more complicated than appears but would the answer to this complete debacle be this? :

When a team submits its team sheet to the Match Commissioner, the Match Commissioner should have access to the RFL's register of players. He should then check that all registered players are eligible to play by confirming registrations for loans, transfers, and dual registration have all been received and accepted by the RFL.

In this way, the RFL and all teams can be seen to be working together to ensure nothing like this ever happens again.

The problem can (and should) be stopped before it starts as I'm sure no team wants to fall foul of the rules.

i would have thought that was already being done.

But then the Match Commissioners could be that thick that they don't even understand the rules.

but again TOOOO SIMPLE!
