Player loans Yes or No

[Caveman]

Pretty straightforward, yes or no and why?

 

[belmore_utd]

Should've been canned after reserve grade leagues resumed

 

[Mr 95%]

Nup..that’s why there is a reserve grade.. AND junior rep teams..

 

[bradyk]

depends on the situation, not a fan of top teams loaning out their best young players, e.g. Harry Grant a couple of years ago, because it allows them to keep/stockpile young talent. I'm pretty confident (and at least a much higher chance) the Storm would of lost Grant if they weren't allowed to loan him.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Maybe but definitely not this late into the season.

To me it feels like it's cheating. Agree with other posters and rely on your reserve graders.

June 30 cut off

 

[foREVerA7X]

Yes but only for players who are waiting for a start in first grade and only for say a max of a 4 week period.

Clubs (ie Storm) should not be asking lower teams for their best players (ie JAC). Happy to send Okunbor but funnily enough they didn't enquire about him.

 

[King Gus]

That’s a nope for me.
Reasons:
•Are they going to pay for the player’s salary for the game’s he plays?
•will they cover the costs if the player gets injured?

 

[Caveman]

My thoughts are 2 points are as valuable at the start of the season as at the end, teams should not get loan players at the end of a season to help them out when teams with a similar struggle at the start of the season did not have the same loan pool potential.

money outside the cap isn't an issue, e.g. if a player is injured. They also pay a % of their salary, that depends on negotiations tho, some players would be 100%, some 50% (for the remaining games), depends on the situation.

 

[UndeadShadowMan]

No it's not fair to cherry pick players from clubs missing out on the 8 to get even stronger before finals

To me if you play for a club you should put the club first until contract is up.

 

[JayBee]

Yes, but with limitations.

Perhaps they can only be used up until finals, or for a maximum of 6 games?

 

[Caveman]

I would love to see up and comers get a little game time in the nrl at the end of games with no cost to interchange and not included as part of the 17/18 should the club want to in situations where a result is already assured.

It would be great to have a system where young players could be blooded where there is less on the line and therefore less pressure.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Yes, but only before June 30 and not after...
The loan should also have merit, whereby either side could argue as to why it benefits them moving forward.

 

[Psycho Doggie]

My answer is also maybe, the requirement being to scrap the salary cap/TPA system and go with a EPL style FFP system instead.

I will add maybe to poll

but in Nofa's situation it benefits him, the Tigers and the Storm.

 

[SPEARTAKVIDREFS]

It just seems wrong.
Team sport lending your players to help another team win a comp.
Isnt there a top 30?
Covid was a bit different.
