I think he is - just a case of getting him in shape whereas Charlie Martin needs to be playing against better opposition than the U19's can provide. I noticed that Dan Fleming was 18th man yesterday and could have taken Emmitt's place in the pecking order maybe ?

The Rfl say it's OK for any player who does not need a visa

Correct - and only to a maximum of 5 players per parent club.

This has certainly kicked up quite a storm on the Cougar forum:- viewtopic.php?f=31&t=543852&tsmp=1360848641 If you can't beat 'em join 'em.

Think their fans are over-reacting a little bit.

We have a small squad: the likelihood of them seeing them losing their "identity" is very little indeed. We are probably one of the better clubs to be partnering with, for the simple fact that they have access to some good youngsters rather than someone looking to regain fitness.

Sure they may have someone like Emmitt playing for them from time to time. But you're not telling that Keighley fans would stay away obstinately if Rangi Chase turned up at Cougar Park in three weeks time?

At the end of the dual registration system is there for the Cougars to dip into. They haven't dual registered our squad, they've dual registered a couple of players. Their coach doesn't HAVE to select them. Plus you can only have a maximum of five anyway.

It is likely that Cas will be more than likely utilising the dual registration by way of giving our youngsters experience of playing against men and to get them upto speed with a view to joining the first-team next season.

Keighley fans need not be worried at all.
