Quote: Andy Gilder "They're not all on loan or dual reg though.
IIRC the lads at Featherstone are there on one-year contracts with Featherstone. They are not Leeds players in any way, shape or form in 2015. Leeds cannot recall them, they can't play for Leeds without moving their registration.
Just wondering whether there may be something buried deep in the Operational Rules that prevents a player having a pre-contract agreed with another club prior to the anti-tampering deadline.'"
But they are all on loan or dual reg, that's the point.
The lads at Fev are on loan for the year. Therefore they are still Leeds players until their contracts end. Sure, they can't be recalled, but as with any loan, the clubs still owns the player until the contract ends. The same with Briscoe and Duckworth at Hunslet.
The other lads turning out for Hunslet, Mulhern Walters, Keinhorst, Delaney, are on dual reg.
I don't know what the rules are, but the whether they are Leeds players or not is pretty clear.
