so a bit like the loan arrangement but with an immediate recall option?
I think the current understanding is that it most resembles a season long loan
The players are there for the year - unlike a season long loan they can be recalled by the SL club at short notice without seeking dispensation from the RFL. They could then return to the championship side when they are no longer needed in SL.
Other thoughts at the moment are that they are exempt from being under the Championship salary cap.
Like Pepe has said it's all a farce as the exact details don't appear to have been set out although a couple of clubs are already making arrangements!! Typical Rugby League...
