FEATHERSTONE have signed Leeds trio Jordan Baldwinson, Josh Walters and Luke Briscoe on loan for the rest of the season and could face their parent club in the Super 8s Qualifiers.

Walters, who scored the match-winning try in the Rhinos' 22-20 Super League Grand Final win over Wigan at Old Trafford last October, is one of a host of Rhinos players who have spent time with Rovers this year as part of the dual-registration agreement between the two clubs.

All three are expected to play in Featherstone's crucial clash against the Bulls on Sunday, when the winners will clinch a place in the Qualifiers, alongside Super League clubs Leeds, Huddersfield, Salford and Hull KR.

In addition to the three loan signings, players who are eligible to play on dual registration having played three games will also be available.

Leeds chief executive Gary Hetherington said: “We have had an excellent relationship with Featherstone this season and wish them well for their massive game this Sunday.

“The three loan players will be with Featherstone for the remainder of the season.

“We will make a decision on the dual registered players in due course but if they are not required by Brian McDermott for the first team for the Qualifiers, they will be released to join Featherstone.

“If they play for one of the teams they are then unable to play for anyone else in the Qualifiers. Team selection for Featherstone will be a matter entirely for them and we will not place any restrictions on when players can play.”

Rovers coach Jon Sharp said: “At the start of the season the purpose of this partnership was to allow us to complement our squad and I think it's been a great success.

“The way the Rhinos players have conducted themselves on and off the field when representing Rovers has been exemplary and I'd like to thank Gary and Brian for their help in facilitating this partnership which I am sure will go from strength to strength.”

Leeds props Baldwinson and Anthony Mullally, who have played for Featherstone on dual reg this season, have previously had loan spells at Bradford.
