Whats new about the 48hr recall clause? thought that was standard and didnt kick in until after the one month minimum loan period. Eg lilley came back to us triggering a new 1 month minimum loan at the nd of which he was recalled under the 48hr notice clause (although i thought it was 24hrs rather than 48hrs).

I don't know where the info is coming from, but it has to be incorrect. It's RFL rules on loan deals that they have to be for a minimum of one month / four weeks with no recall. It's to stop teams essentially dual registering with every club in the league by just allowing players to go out on a couple of days loan here and there to play for whoever has an opening that weekend.
Recall clauses can only kick in after the initial month. Nothing to do with club arrangements, it's RFL rules and regs.

................Also have you noticed the Toovey and Phoenix Visa situation is still not resolved, its been overshadowed by the abysmal showing this weekend and shirt gate, but visa gate is still a very big white elephant in the room!

Or is the big white elephant still in its home country because it cant get a visa to get over here and stand in the room

It was 48 hours and any new loan agreement will have the same 48 hour notice clause attached.

It basically stops the situation where Jordan trained all day at the Bradford Bulls from 9am till 3.30pm.
Only then to get a call from Brian McDermott an hour later at 4.30pm to say that he was playing that evening for Leeds against Castleford.

With 48 hours notice the young lad gets a breather.

I know you aren't really any more likely to know than anyone else, but as there will be no news have you heard anything on the following...

1) much needed new signings, loan or perm?
2) The Visa's (Geoff and Phoenix)
3) Chistholme

I know i'm clutching at straws but some positive news would be nice..

So is the Phoenix deal dead in the water?
