So why not wait to announce?. Cynical part of me says if we make middle eights we announce if we don't we rip contract and pay player off

You might be on ths wavelength with that. In case we don't make middle eights the player has been left in limbo.

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..
