Not on HDM website yet but on official site states second season long loan which takes him till the end of his Catalans contract. We'll then look at permanent deal.

Very good player and a clever bit of business by the board in my opinion.

Cant understand why its a final year loan unless perhaps conditions have changed ?
Possibly we have "agreed" not to chase another target that Les Cats are also in the hunt for ....

On first sight does seem a strange way of going about things. Am pleased to have him on board for another season.

Why is it strange? If we had signed him for 2015 we would have paid a transfer fee.

Dead right but when he is out of contract if he still wants to play for us he will be free lets hope if he carry's on like this season he does still want to play for us

I think he means it is strange from Catalans pov. A fee would obviously be a good thing from their pov. Perhaps we paid something to loan him - though in with one year left on his deal, why not just agree a transfer?

Anyway, he's been good and is a proper out and out second rower, of which we don't have all that many, with a few of our backrowers looking happier playing down the middle (Donaldson is another in the latter mould, I think).

Excellent signing Kevin is,has not quite been as effective since his injury but a good rest over the winter will see him firing next season and hopefully after that.

Why a years loan if they wanted a fee? We could have signed him on a permanent contract without a fee if Catalan had agreed. Only reason I can think is that there is a recall clause. I am not sure of the conditions applied by RFL to season long loans.

Maybe Catalan will offer him a new deal and he will accept it.

If they are going to offer him a new deal, why have they not wanted him for the last two years?
You need to try harder petal.

Great news, I wonder if not pursuing Pelissier helped our cause?

The original question was why not release him then? Maybe they are using you petal and want to retain his registration petal.
