Quote: mat "according to gospel of mick players had to be signed by thursday to play this week. anyone signed yesterday wouldn't be eligible.
Pretty certain thats cobblers as i distinctly remember leeds signing someone (lee smith returning from union iirc) after 19 man squads had been announced and him playing against us the same weekend.'"
As far as I know, they can play as soon as they are registered at Red Hall. If they have a director with a fast car they could get the paperwork to Leeds pretty quickly - maybe even on-line, though I wouldn't be shocked to learn that the RFL haven't even got round to getting any of that new fangled 'FAX' technology in yet..
