Actually like DemonUK I'm certain someone on here posted a link to an article saying they had signed for a year though can no longer find it. Also all the other articles I have found read as though they have signed full time with Featherstone for one year but already have deals in place at Leeds for next year. Even the article on Featherstones sight suggests this if you read past the title as the word loan does not come up anywhere else. Besides if it was a loan or dual reg surely the players would still have Leeds squad numbers? Which the articles all make a point of saying they don't.

I presume the question being posed is whether Featherstone are trying to take advantage of the situation by signing them on full-time when they're really on loan?

Here is a quote from the RFL confirming the loan/DR limitations

LOANS AND DUAL REGISTRATION

C1Another point of clarification is then added by the RFL

C1PS. It has been announced today that Halifax and Hull KR have signed a DR agreement for 2015 which could bring two more DR teams together in the middle eight.

I can see TROUBLE ahead!!

Mmmmmmhh?

In the dug out with Carl on 24th December states that two more of last season's squad have resigned. Names have not been released yet ... and there is one more NEW signing to be announced.

Double Movement, sorry to disappoint, but DemoUK and AdamH are quite right the four lads (Jordon Baldwinson, Thomas Mimms, Mason Tonks, and Alex Foster) have 1 year contracts with Fev and have provisional contracts with Leeds for 2016, but I suspect it depends how well they go this year as to whether Leeds follow through with these contracts. Confirmation can be see herehttps://www.featherstonerovers.net/article.php?id

PS if you think this is something new you'd be wrong both Mason Tonks, and Alex Foster had 1 year contracts at London Broncos last year with provisional contracts with Leeds for 2015.

I'm not disappointed FevGrinder. It's not really any of my business. I was quoting an article from the Fev website initially. It wasn't my opinion.

I suppose the key is how the RFL view it and whether Featherstone intend to sign additional loan/DR players.

Only the RFL can give us the definitive answer as to how they, as the powers that be, view it!

I wonder when we are going to officially announce Nicklas and Wilson and this other new signing we mentioned on Christmas Eve

More interested in the new signing !

Me too can't understand why we don't just announce it already.

You would think he would be sorted to play in the pre season games.
Only 1 wk to go.

My guess is that the new signing has been signed up for a while. The club are probably going to use the announcement to help boost interest in the first friendly.

that was one of my thoughts but as i said only 1 wk to go
unless we hear something on Monday

The Free Press and Star will probably have articles this week. It'll probably be announced in time for them to give it coverage ... hopefully!
