Semantics to suit your argument. There's very little difference between DR and loan, the team are still playing lads from another club over their own reserves.
I deliberately missed Pownall because I seem to recall he was bad enough that he didn't really take anyone's place apart from a few bench cameos.

So anyway I hear there's a game on today. Anyone brave enough to make a prediction?

32 - 14 Bulls way

Really?! Curious why you think our misfiring attack will click today.

I'll go 27-26 golden point win to bulls. Attendance 1900.

Its got to click one day.

I'll guess at Oakes and Minchella in the centres with Webster on the bench.Pickersgill and Hodgson to miss out.Bulls to win by 10.crowd 2600.

Actually, there is a very important difference between a loan and a DR. A loan is a minimum 4 week contract with no recall, where as DRs can pop in and out of either their contracted team or DR team at will.

Seems strange to me that.

If Fevs line up is correct, they have Jack Busssey (Prop) at 6, it be pretty shameful if we lose this. Close Boas down and Wacth King when he comes on.

Yep Bussey at 6, Walters, a back row/ middle in the centre, 2 centres on the wings and a wing at full back. On paper it looks a low-scoring game you'd think.

Of course there is a difference, otherwise they'd be called the same thing. But in the sense of other team's players being picked ahead of your own club's reserves, there's absolutely zero difference. I don't understand how one is being vilified and the other totally justified, except of course because of which teams are involved.


One the subject of the match, it doesn't look like Fev need to be all that reliant on DR anyway as they haven't needed it today (and yes, I know there's a couple of the much younger element of the Rhinos squad playing).
