I remember Luke Hooley being included in the Leeds squad for a game last season and thinking "thank god" cos he was being loaned out to Batley. But then he was also named in the Batley squad after not being in the Leeds team on that Friday. I think it was the game when Batley thrashed us 42 nil with Hooley scoring a hat trick. Anyway, the morale of that story is that players can sometimes be in both squads.

What a mess!

We now have a DR with Cornwall.

That`s the squads end of season holiday sorted.
They can check out where to stay for next seasons game down there.

Zac McComb named in the Championship team of the month and not many of us would have him starting in the second row but nevertheless well done Zac as there’s some decent players in that position that you’ve got past.

Just shows the difference between the stats sheet ( which many coaches go on these days ) and what seems to be happening live to the eyes on game day.

Still not totally convinced but maybe I’m wrong and if he fills out and bulks up a bit with his engine he could become another Manno machine.

Leigh are releasing a prop to make way for a new signing, and Matt Shaw says he could be heading to the championship with Bradford and a number of others interested. Get in there Fax like a rat up a drain pipe.

I can remember plenty on this forum taking the p**s out of Bradford for having Leeds loanees in the team at the Shay. Kettle and pot anyone!

Well their in the squad at the moment as the team hasn’t been picked yet but if they all play for Fax then feel free to take the p**s and join and become no different from those who you mentioned when the roles were reversed.
Pot and kettle anyone!

But even then Fax will still have to do so multiple times over the season to even come close and unlike Bradford, Fax will choose if and when they play unlike the Bulls that were well and truly owned

Maybe a bit premature in making the comparison then if it’s only some future possibility, so until if and when it happens what’s the point of posting it then

Even then with the state of the game and what else is going on in the world today nothing about rugby league worries me one jot however things turn out.

Unsurprising really as the game that your brought about 3 or 4 loan players in for against us you actually beat us so that is going to stick in peoples memories. When we played Bradford without their loan players a few weeks later we won very comfortably.

Its also hard to compare the two situations because as of yet we have not really looked like beating anyone despite having these loan players in.

What I'm trying to say is that people should not be so quick to take the p**s as you never know when you will be in the same position.

With our injury situation at the moment we would be struggling to put a team out without loan players. In the game these days we all need loanees.

I really don't like to see Fax in their slump at the moment, god knows we have been there and hopefully will survive. I'm sure Fax will do too. Onwards and upwards.

I'm the oppositie I think people should take the at every opportunity but don't moan when you get it back when you are in a similar situation. Would be boring without that in a rivalry.

Anybody and everybody should indeed take the p**s out of the DR/short term loans. It is a disgrace to the game and whether you use it once or a hundred times, for one or five players you are just as guilty full stop. Last year's game against Bradford illustrated the system for what it is and the short term thinking. That one match put Bradford above Fax and ultimately cost us a play off place. Great for them but in the bigger picture the SL club's are laughing at us. As GFB says a few weeks later Fax comfortably beat the bulls without their 'guests' but the damage was done for us and the SL players had been given their workouts.
