We also have three players on loan this year. As you can only play 4 loanees or DR players, there won’t be a plethora of Saints players coming in.

Good point. I seemed to think it was five though?

You can play a maximum of 5 DR & loan combined, of which no more than 4 can be DR.

Despite the quality and committed players that Saints sent us last season, I would be disappointed if we started using their players again soon. We have seen outstanding team spirit in the two games to date, and we have quality players awaiting a chance. I would hope and expect to see them utilised before drafting any Saints players in.

I may be imagining it, but didn't we see a report fairly recently, stating that we won't need DR this season?

Agreed Alan. It’s all about how we manage it at our end as to what effect(s) it has. But it could have several positive aspects for sure.

We're very good at righting wrongs and misconceptions about DR, you know

You even found a way of playing up to 10 a few years ago. Quite a cute move was that one

I can’t see us needing any Saints players this week end , we have a surplus of around 7 or 8 players who could step up to our 1st team , I’ve not heard of any injuries the team and team spirit is flying, I’m a big Sammutt fan , but seriously who would you drop from last week.?

I wouldn't drop anybody. The cynic in me wonders if there'll be times when we have no choice in the matter and wondered why we hadn't announced it before the players started playing in their reserves, and why we've announced it now.

When it comes to this week's squad, the 21 has been announced and my 2+2 has come to not 4.

Go on I'll bite, tell me about the time we found a way of playing 10 DRs?
