Don't you have to do some work, before you can retire ?

I am pleased about this. We need a prop , like yesterday. How else are we going to get one match fit?

When all our props are fit, and available, Baz will pick his best 4 and Nathan will earn or loose his place accordingly.

Yes Cas might call him back, but when it is pouring I would rather borrow a hat, than do without.

I have been speaking to a Cas Fan who knows his stuff.

He says Nathan Massey is well liked, very hard working and will do well for us.

He does however say that at this moment in time he is not quite big enough to be a Superleague Prop.

Fair points.

As I say I don't like the idea of DRs, but I can appreciate the clubs predicament, and we do need a prop..badly.

I would rather see us have someone on a seasons loan.

Taking someone for a season is not what we need, right now.
We have good props, unfortunately they are injured.

When they get fit, we would end up having to pay a player for a year.

Good move by the club.

Personally I like the dual registration idea and glad to see Keighley have made use of it.

I am not a fan of the DR system as it stands, all the advantage is with the SL club. I am not opposed to a controlled loan system but DR just seems to open to potential abuse.

Imagine coming upto a key game at the end of the season only to find your opponents have signed some quality DR players for the day. Or how about you play a side with DR players and get beaten twice to find they are recalled when they play your nearest rivals?

In the cold light of day we have to make use of any advantage available to our opponents, but that still does not make the system right.

It's by no means a perfect system but it's always going to be weighted in favour of the Super League.

After all it is their players being loaned out.
