the thing is,look at some of the players from other teams that have gone out on loan to fellow super league teams? not many,and the ones that do go for a reason.we have done quite well with our loanees from leeds,which we get mainly to cover injuries.what people have to remember is that not only are we helping leeds,but they are helping us.it works both ways,and so far,it has been a positive thing for both clubs.
It's also important for the wider game. If young capable players get stockpiled at one club because the current first team has a good supply of players in their positions they're being wasted. Without first team experience and the encouragement that brings players could stagnate and be lost. We don't have that second level where they can play to a decent standard and it's probably a big reason why the Aussies stay ahead of us. Difficult because each club wants to be rewarded if they bring a player through so a loan arrangement seems a good way to deal with it.
