Will Maher not in the playing 17 tonight.
Should be okay to play for us instead.

Good, but were up against when we cant play Maher when Mr Powell gets the jitters or our other stand out forward Fleming suddenly becomes a Toronto favourite again, and they are both good enough and big enough for that to happen. RM is doing a fine job with them both, i feel very sad for Richard that his hands are tied like this, sign em both if possible.
Were relying on people who historically have not had rock solid friendships with Fax here, they are using us to develop their players then potentially pulling the rug from under us, we, Rugby deserves better than these leaky conflicted player switch shenanigans, there should be more in place from the RFL to protect players and smaller Clubs here. If they are on a loan for a season, it should bind, if its for a month it should bind. If not just call the Championship the Reserves comp and put it out to tender for franchises.
Custodians of the game, my Iestyn Harris.

Dan Fleming is our player isn't he? Contracted until the end of next year?

This whole DR Loan thing really takes some keeping track of doesn’t it
He’s a Halifax lad, but doesn’t play for us when we play Toronto, so would assume he is not on our books just yet. Rowley and Powell both have a hold over Richard i do not like, although i very much admire Richards professionalism here.
I’m surprised Daryl Powel hasn’t put a clause in that he will only give us decent players as long as we finish below Fev, but then again he can just recall players stick them in the stands and do us over that way, or unsettle the squad by paying them a hundred quid more than us for someone to carry water on tv for them.
Out of all the forwards we have ‘borrowed’ Maher and Fleming are in my eyes keepers, the SL clubs can come and buy them anytime, but Fax and them both would have a bit more stability and security. Toronto will be SL so include them in this.
Realistically this season could be our last chance for some time to play against SL sides, hence my concern Richard is not getting a fair crack at it.

Yes, he is.

Have to query this one, why didn’t he play against Toronto then, if he is our player with clauses, he’s not really our player. And the DR Loans are worthless name tags for borrowing or reserve grade rugby.

Zoo if we get in the top 8can Fleming play against Toronto? Even if his contract says he can’t we should play him.

Just remind me how the Barlow thing went a few years ago ......

If you agree a player can't play, don't play him.

If you're not prepared to accept the terms, don't sign him.

It's an integrity thing. Stick by your word. Be a man.

If QLT was to come back now on dual reg can he play against Toronto in the middle 8s as is contract is not with Halifax

Don't think anyone knows if these stupid clauses extend to the middle eights or not.Suppose we'll find out if we get there with Fleming.As for QLT don't think he'll ever return and to be honest he's about as welcome as Mike Riley taking photos from the in goal area .

WM onthe interchange bench for the Cas game at Warrington.

Seem that. He is named in our squad this afternooon then is on the bench for Cas this evening. fiking madness

It is. Surely Cas have said he was available for us this weekend. Or (sorry for starting my sentence with a conective) do we have to name them in the squad ( before a certain dead line?)so they can play for us whether they may or may not be available. It s all fffd up. On loan, can play with us not against us, new signing but leaving next week. a season loan but we will have them
Back when we want. It all needs scrapping. Every club should have a first team and a reserve and if they can and under 19 squad.

Not used as it turns out, don’t ask how any of it makes sense.

QLT mom.
