Whenever we are linked with players or have signed them i always look on that player's club forum to get a fan's view of the player. Looking on't shudds site, they certainly aren't happy to see him go. We'll see, and if he's as they say, well that'll do me. Three Pigeons, White Rat 4.0% Mmm!

Fax..if you look up Tom Maiden on fans forum he picked his team from the original squad announcement,must have fallen through as the 4pm incoming never happened..

I thought the 4 pm incoming was announced as Keelan Foster?

So this weeks deadline deals are Morgan in earlier this week on loan as a 4th halfback and Foster in for Lannon to the end of the season and 2 forwards out on loan to Whitehaven with game time for them being more important than them playing a part in helping a direct rival involved in the relegation battle because we might need them later in the season even though they’ve hardly played all year??

Anyone know what happened to the Hudson incoming as I think it’s him in the Fax Retro Shirt Facebook photo wearing a Leeds top and as MB mentioned he was named in the original 21 squad for this week before being pulled and replaced by Widdop?

Fell through, someone changed their minds, injured in training, loan to be announced later?

In Finns pre match interview he says something along the lines that we have strengthened our relationship with the Rhinos by making these loan deals. So i was thinking not just Hudson on loan but possibly Littlewood and Nicolson watton too because none of them have played enough dr games to continue to be available for us. Either i am barking up the wrong tree or they just haven't been announced yet.

Not sure what’s happened to the Kieron Hudson signing reported earlier and pictured in training although loan signings can still happen and may still feature. Just been doing a recap of players for next year ( provided we stay up ) based on what has been reported and rumoured and who is signed for 2025

Woodburn hall(2025)

Salty ( not heard anything but highly unlikely he’ll go anywhere else )

Charlie graham ( been told he’s re-signed)

Owen restall
Brad graham
Ronin Dixon and one other from dewsbury ( might be ollie greensmith but not sure )

Owen mccarron ( 2nd rower to replace gee from Whitehaven)

Jack Hansen ( to replace Keyes from Sheffield)

Heard jouffret, kav n Bob all re-signed

Inman and obrien signed up


Sebastine Ikahihifo ( reported as signed from hudds)

Calcott will return from injury

Douglas ( 50/50 whether he will be able to play on )

Then there’s a few recently signed players who are signed till the end of the season who were not sure on like Boyer , hird and foster .

Would like to keep Crooks , a quality centre, although I know there are rumours of a move to London

I believe Hudson has signed a season long loan but due to limitations on dr/loans cannot be named I match day squad.

Just posted in a new thread an article taken from Love Rugby League earlier this week explaining the rules on DR & Loans.

Can you elaborate.Couldnt be named this weekend only ?
how many dr/loans are allowed in any 17 ?

Clubs can have a combined maximum of 5 loan and DR players with a limit of 4 on DR in the 21 Match Day squad bearing in mind that by match day the 21 will be reduced to 17 starters and 1 - 18th man.

Still waiting for official confirmation of the details on the Leeds lads including Hudson.

Listenup can comment on elaboration seeing that he was the one to ask.

I think that what added to the confusion was there were a number of things happening all at the same time as separate posts / comments all having something in common but not necessarily a direct connection.

For example Lannon left the week of the transfer deadline and a number of deals were being done.

We were watching for what people like Matt Shaw and Mick Gledhill were saying and MG said Foster and Hudson would be joining Fax.

Fax announced a 4pm deadline day signing which some thought would be Hudson and others Foster.

If Hudson came in along with Johnston, Littlewood and Whatton already being with us the question of loans / DR, deadline day and numbers and the rules was asked.

Only Gledhill mentioned Hudson as incoming and only the Foster signing details were officially mentioned by the club with nothing being said regarding the status of the other Leeds lads but the Hudson link looked true when Fax named 4 of them in the original 21 which included Hudson who was then pulled and replaced by Widdop shortly after even though Widdop wasn’t fit to play!

Talk about confused.com even the numbers explanation for Hudson not being named doesn’t add up because they wouldn’t have been exceeded anyway!!

As before just have to wait and see how things turn out I guess?
