I think what makes this conversion a bit stranger is that Walmsley is still way out front in the leading try scorers in the division but Wakefield seem to have an infactuation with signing quality wingers. No matter what we have said about Walmsley, he is a proven try scorer and that is worth a lot at any level.

Is Johnson on loan or DR - thought it was DR but saw something on FB today saying season long loan. Grrat if true as he was brilliant on sunday behind our much maligned pack that as a group were unrecognizable from anything I've seen this season.

There’s been both DR and loan mentioned in the press and on social media.
The main difference is the recall time.
DR is usually at anytime with immediate effect, loan usually has a minimum 2 week period.
Even season long loans can have a clause which allows the parent club to call their player back after this 2 week period.
Regarding Rhinos, CJ is behind Ackers and O’Connor at Leeds and as long as they stay fit he should be with us.
Regarding Fax, we will hope to have him as long as possible, at least until Adam and Tom are fit.

I believe Corey has been signed on loan for the rest of the season. Before we signed him up though, wasn't he loaned/dr at Bradford? In reality a season long loan whilst sounding good, nowadays means a season long loan or until his parent club want him back. He does look a very good player though on his performance against Doncaster. He also came across very well on his post match interview on the Fax Facebook.

Yeah season long loan at Bradford before coming to us. They just tend to dress it up so it sounds good to fans but like Huddshay says it could mean a player is with you for a couple of weeks. Watching the games back Johnson does look very good though and I can't wait to see him and AOB playing together as we have looked a little lost at hooker after AOB got injured.

I don't think Cory actually played for Bradford.

As for the loan agreement. Leeds named Cory in their squad for the match against Saints so I'm assuming if called upon he would have played.

I also seem to remember we signed a player on a season loan a season or 2 ago but he was recalled by the parent club which cheesed everyone off slating the loan as not worth the paper it was written on. I can't remember who it was. QLT?

Sam Hewitt from Huddersfield- signed on season long loan, looked good in either 1 or 2 games and was never seen again

Didn't know Hewitt was signed for the season?

I might be thinking of Adam O'Brien who signed from Huddersfield for the remainder of the season when they signed Adam Milner from Cas so AOB was 3rd choice hooker, but then an injury to Milner or the 2nd choice had them recalling AOB, even though they had no chance of making the play offs so didn't desperately need him!

Another factor with Leeds is whether Rowan Smith survives much longer and if they lose against Cas it could be the final straw, a new coach might have other thoughts concerning loans / DR.

A new signing at 7 pm tonight on the squad announcement

Heard a rumour at the weekend (although don't know how reliable) that we are looking to bring in 4-5 new players including a prop forward from France (who played a few games for us back in 2015).

Clement Boyer?

Good call, Brew, and he's still only 29: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cl%C3%A9ment_Boyer On the subject of the squad, I know we still need some numbers but I wouldn't be surprised if Olly Davies moves on. I'd also like to take my hat off to his namesake Connor. I was initially disappointed with his signing I must admit but I was wrong, he runs his blood to water and I can see why Finny rates him.
