Don't hope for such an unfair tilting of the balance of playing strength.

Surely, you should know that, being a "Leeds" fan and all?

Instead of asking a loaded question on a forum you could have taken the 30 seconds it took me to see on the Featherstone website that Lilley, Oledzki and Newman are in the 19 man squad this week. Along with Jansin Turgut from Hull FC if you were wondering...All of whom are entitled to play for any championship club had their board / chairman arranged for it to be so with the respective clubs.

...and Mitch Clark from Cas - who was offered to their DR partners, Halifax, before a ball had been kicked this season.

Ah yes, forgot about him, can't keep up with all the numbers! Yes, Halifax decided what they had was better...

Which on the few occasions I have seen Fev play this year was a mistake. Probably the in form forward in the league is Mitch.

So Featherstone are playing 5 players on dual registration? I thought there was a limit of 3?

Three DR players from Leeds, and 2 loan players from Hull and Cas. You can only DR with one club, but I don't think there is a limit on loan players.

Regarding Mitch Clark, I believe that he was offered to Fax first, but on a loan deal. After a number of financial debacles over the years (we keep on getting reminded of bucket collections), Fax are now living within their means, and have no wealthy benefactors to pay for his ilk. We've signed QLT to the end of the season, but that was partially made possible via contributions from a supporters group. Other signings have been made possible by generous donations from sponsors, but Fax remain a part-time club that is trying (and not making a bad fist of it) to compete with full-time clubs with far more financial backing.
