Three DR players from Leeds, and 2 loan players from Hull and Cas. You can only DR with one club, but I don't think there is a limit on loan players.

Regarding Mitch Clark, I believe that he was offered to Fax first, but on a loan deal. After a number of financial debacles over the years (we keep on getting reminded of bucket collections), Fax are now living within their means, and have no wealthy benefactors to pay for his ilk. We've signed QLT to the end of the season, but that was partially made possible via contributions from a supporters group. Other signings have been made possible by generous donations from sponsors, but Fax remain a part-time club that is trying (and not making a bad fist of it) to compete with full-time clubs with far more financial backing.

There's a limit of a total of 5 who are on loan and/or DR with a further limit that of the 5 a maximum of 4 can be DR.

Thanks. DR and loan rules keep on changing!

They do, as a Fev fan (As you've probably gathered) I was opposed to it at, and still think it's slightly farcical, but the people running the club are taking advantage of it as much as possible, having what seems to be a very good working relationship with Leeds and potentially saving 4 or 5 wages on squad players that wouldn't be getting playing time if they were solely Featherstone players.

Terrific Toulouse Olympique have thrashed frivolous Featherstone Rovers 36-10.

This has happened despite injuries for Toulouse which have forced a pre-game reshuffle. Ace prop Sam Rapira did not play, nor did prop Eddy Pettybourne nor winger Paul Marcon. This left the Toulouse coach with half back William Barthau listed as playing in the centres, and centre Gavin Marguerite playing on the wing.

Featherstone had the advantage of Leeds DR players such as Jordan Lilley and the Pole Oledski in its team.

What a great result for Toulouse, to win so convincing, despite missing some of their best forwards, against a Featherstone team containing Super League players Jordan Lilley, Harry Newman and Mikolaj Oledski of Leeds, Jansin Turget of Hull FC and Mitch Clark of Castleford.

You can say that again, because they say that three times proves it.

Make your mind up. When they lose, you cite injuries.

Toulouse and Toronto are really dominating the Championship this year. Super League 2019 would be a fantastic competition, if expanded with these 2 sides added to the current 12.
