I don't know but it certainly seems to have worked in their favour. Myler transformed today with a genuine HB partner in Lui apparently - man of the match - and lifted them to 9th. Somehow or other they are also getting Rhyse Martin from Canterbury - what a mid season signing that is. In line to debut next week according to Radio Leeds - got to think those changes will lift them out of the mire. And they have us at home the week before the semi of course.

Swapping players like Panini Football stickers.
Your opinion is as valid as all opinions are.
Loans and transfers are valid within the rules of each particular competition. How does working within the rules make a farce of the relegation battle?

But are they within the rules of the game, as ccs has commented about quota, I'd add to that sides paying towards wages for loan players sent to other clubs. How does that work cap wise?
On the one hand, as an FC fan, it shouldn't bother me, but as an RL fan I have to question the fairness, can London and Huddersfield afford to join the swap shop?
This isn't an attempt tp start an argument, it's intended to promote a discussion. (which means I should perhaps split it out and put it on the VT?

To be fair, I think the loan or player movement shouldnt be allowed really, If you finish bottom of Super League with the squad your club assemble pre season, thats your fault and shouldnt be able to flash cash to save your skin so to speak.

I don’t know the minutiae of the rules but I guess the RFL would not allow the loans if they did not fall within the rules. Even allowing for their general incompetence!
If the RFL have sanctioned the various moves then none of the clubs have cheated, would be nice to know how it all works within the quota/cap but we can only assume it does.
