It's not us saying no, it's the RFL. He was signed on a 1 month loan. RFL rules mean that he can not play again for Hull until the month is up.

Ah right... I just thought the RFL enforced the rules and it was between the two clubs to actually make the arrangements between themselves. i.e. if both clubs didn't mind and sorted it out themselves then a loan deal could be cut short.

Thompson played in Quins reserves last week. Doesn't really look like they'll be keeping him but you never know, they might just see the Thompson / Grayshon swap a fair deal and go with it til the end of the season.

It's on Thompson's facebook status that he is on his way back from London next week I think.

Maybe he'll knuckle down and try to play out of his skin for a new contract? I mean he's got to wake up sooner or later. He was not kept on at Saints, not made an impression with us so far, it appears Quins are not interested in keeping him - who's going to offer him a contract if he doesn't do anything between now and the end of the year?

Let Cullen give him the opportunity to train hard and see if he can earn a place in the 1st team. You never know he might turn out ok, alternatively he might end up somewhere else on loan.

I think he was beginning to do okay for us just before he went out on loan so we'll see how he goes on his return.

As you said mate, it might just be the tonic that he needs.

Thompsons on a 2 year deal

I actually didnt realise the article continued on that news page and it does say as quoted from Agar

"He may now be back with us next week, or we may look at extending it from week-to-week depending on whether he is going to play first grade here for us or not."

I think you may be right there. We had a similar situation with Matt James on loan from Bradford earlier in the season. They requested his return due to a mounting injury crisis. Fax were under no obligation to allow his return but never the less did so to maintain good inter-club relations. We then got him back again when their injury problems had eased.

Problem we have is loan deadline has now passed, hence if he goes back to Hull don't think he can then return to Widnes!

Whereas with Matt James I think you just basically did a new loan deal?
