You can put what clauses you like into a deal.



I always think this sort of thing shows a lack of confidence by the coach. "I don't think you're good enough for us but, just in case I'm wrong, I don't want you playing against us."

Agree with your synopsis and it seems we can't play Dan Fleming either.

Let's hope we get Springer & Green this weekend.

Well we will get Spring & Greener this weekend.

This happened with Gareth Hock when he played for Leigh against Salford, and it turned out that the clause was either not allowed or not enforcable and he was cleared to play.

That said, if we have made a "gentlemans agreement" not to play him then Id rather we stick to it and conduct ourselves in a better way than Marwan and Derek!





Also, this clause is definetly illegal in football, as is shown here...

Fair shout and well remembered, as you say it must be between the clubs.

Likely Sion Jones or Brandon Douglas in for Dan.

if we keep picking up quality players - then its best to be honouring the agreement that has been made

Better not apply in middle eights....

Neither named in tonights reserve squad,so pretty safe bet.Sion more effective than either of the two loanees and didn't merit being dropped.

Sion has been a real find and could go right to the top if he continues to progress.

RM will have known Dan could not play against Toronto so my guess is he gave Sion a weeks rest to ensure he is fresh and be busting a gut to get back out.



Simms is on a 2 match ban so he’s out. lets have some grunt on the bench to give to em.

Up the Fax.

Simms got off on appeal(what a ******* surprise)

Yes about right he got off, both the press and myself not keeping up.
