Exactly the reason. Fev regularly play their full quota of 5 loan/DR players, and by signing him permanently, he doesn't count on that quota and they can use more Leeds DR guys. Especially while they have Tom Holmes on loan from Hudds too. Same reason that the Jack Ormondroyd and Josh Walters moves were made permanent from Leeds earlier in the season.

I think he's a good player. I think that he doesn't play how JK wants his HB's to play. I think Rowan Milnes and Jordan Lilley will prove to be a good pairing and I also think that both will develop into better and more consistent players than Dane, in time. I don't think we need to sign another half back unless one of the current two pick up a long term injury. Sounds like that Shackleton is impressing too. Not sure of his age though.

One mention of a honeymoon period (which all players have) and the Chisholm supporters lose their minds! Any comment regarding players having purple patches at the start of a new job aren't unfounded.

I’ve noticed a few digs towards the club from Chisholm on his social media recently. Perhaps a hint towards his lack of maturity and professionalism especially since the Bulls have kept it very professional in wishing him well at his new club.

Yes, I have no doubt he will absolutely have a big game against us at Fev, it’s up to our current halfbacks to show why Kear has faith in them. He blows hot and cold and that isn’t likely to change at a Fev at this stage of his career.

We all know he has the talent to be the best 6/7 in this league as he has proved so far at fev. I'll be honest I miss the performancea hes put in for them but we havent had it since he came over with moss. The bloke is likeable and an amazing talent but how many kear sides have a maverick in?. To be fair against Oldham last year I thought he controlled the game brilliantly and kept to structure and dominated the game. The highlights of his games for fev I'll be honest are sickening but I dont think hed have done it under kear

Said it before and I'll say it again. He's not the type of player that Kear wants or plays. Milnes is a better kicker and Lilley is a better organiser. Both will get much better too.
