Scott and Jack should give us more go than last term ... well hope so anyway

The BBC report is wrong as well .... Scott has signed on a permanent deal at the Raiders......NOT on loan

What is the difference between a one year loan and a one year permanent deal?

Splitting hairs?

Swinton signed Jack Morrison on a one year permanent deal from Warrington last year (not a loan as quoted by the BBC) and now Barrow have signed him this year from Warrington - how can that be?

Interesting question. If the agreement was between SL clubs then I would have thought it would be straightforward. A loan means the parent club pays the contract, but the recipient club pays his match fees. The RFL rules state that he is still on the books of the parent club and counts to their salary cap. A one year permanent deal is 'what it says on the can'.

But we seem to have a very ambiguous situation when the recipient club is from the Championship, and I suspect this mainly arises because a lot of Championship clubs just sign players for the season, not on a eg 2 yr deal. Is a 'permanent 1 yr deal' really for 12 months, or just the season ?

Personally, I am still waiting for Wire to announce the movement of Morrison and Taylor as it should clarify whether it is likely to be temporary or permanent. If I had to make a wild guess, it would be that Jack is no longer on our books, but that Scott may still be via a written or verbal agreement.

Either way Chaz, presumably we will have it covered in the move that we have first dabs should said youngsters progress well at their respective new clubs, whatever the contractual arrangements?

It's not like these lads have let themselves down, more a consideration that they have nowhere to go within our own club structure at present?

Yes, good point. A few UK players have gone to Oz with that written into their contracts, haven't they ?
