I accept what you're saying but here's my take on the situation.
Kallum Watkins was Leeds' 1st choice replacement outside back for this season. He fulfilled that role pretty well considering he had already seen action as cover for Webb at full back, then Delaney at centre and finally Donald on the wing. Regardless of the fitness, availability and form of the remaining outside backs Leeds have lost their 1st choice outside back cover.
Jones-Bishop would, I believe and I know not everyone agrees with me, be capable of fulfilling that role. Would Jones-Bishop be behind Bush, Coady and Clarkson if he wasn't out on loan? Jones-Bishop's development at the Harlequins was a sound plan before the season started but circumstances have changed.
Why are Leeds searching 'far and wide' (according to Hetherington) to bring in an outside back on loan (or permanent if you believe some that claim to be 'in the know' on here) when they already have such a prospect on the books. Jones-Bishop is no kid either he'll be twenty-two later this season.

I would love to see Lee Smith back in a Rhinos shirt, but if it is just one man's ramblings spreading over the net, BJB should be back at Headingley as soon as his loan deal allows

I think you do a fine job of hiding your true feelings.  |

| Quote: tvoc "Quality piece of journalism thereThe Rhinos have lost the Australian wing Scott Donald for three months with a wrist injury; his most obvious replacement, Kallum Watkins, is out for the season with a ruptured cruciate ligament; and the centre Carl Ablett will be out for another month with a knee problem. [/i
[iThe Rhinos' captain, Kevin Sinfield, who has missed the last two games with a thigh injury, is doubtful for the Wigan game but Ryan Hall, Danny Buderus, Ryan Bailey and Tom Bush should be fit to return.[/i
I'm still left to wonder what this desperate search 'far and wide' for an outside back is saying to Jones-Bishop out on loan at the Harlequins.'"
Ablett has said he could be back for the Bulls game a week on thursday |

My understanding is that any loan deal has a recall clause. Could be wrong though. |

That's not true, it's got to be specific to the agreement. Monthly loans automatically have recall's in, which after the 1st month allow you to recall.
But this is a season long loan, and I questioned that one on this board before the start of the season. If Leeds put the clause in then it will be fine. |
