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.
