The rule is that players on loan have to stay at club there at at the start of the middle eights. they cant be recalled or loaned out once the middle eights start. At moment none of our players loans extend into middle eight period so not an issue. be interesting to see if any of deals are extended into that period. I suspect they wont be. We'll just give Sheffield and Dewsbury a boost to try and get there then pull our players back. Be a bit silly to be strengthening teams we have to play against. Suspect there will be something in place to prevent clauses preventing players playing against there parent clubs once middle eights start.
Not really sure the RFL would micromanage to that level, to be honest, nor can I really see why they should.
If clubs are willing to loan out players I can't see why barriers should be put in their way - and if clubs allow their players to be used against themselves, well that's their decision. I can't really see us being so daft at the 'business end' of the season.
