Is this not similar to what "Big" Ben Cross did when he signed for Wigan and Widnes on the same day?

Matty Nicholson is a Community Development Officer for Leeds Foundation but plays for Fev, well he's struggling with a long-term injury at the moment but there's no dispute that he's a Fev player not a Leeds one.

I do agree that the real problem is being in a halfway house caused by not having either a reseerve team setup or a genuine feeder competition.



As I said before though, of those slated to come back in 2016, how many do we think actually will? I'll start by saying not all of them. I wouldn't be surprised if half of those mentioned never play for Leeds again.

Keinhorst might get himself a gig at a lower SL side. So maybe two out of the seven could be Leeds players long term.

Yep. Jonny Wainhouse was (and still is) doing some kind of community role for Leeds for years whilst he played for Hunslet.

Exactly. Leeds have basically offered these players to Fev for a year. Fev are hardly likely going to turn around and refuse them to do community work for Leeds whilst at there club for the season......can you imagine if they told Leeds NO...? What good would that do them?
