Leeds Rhinos' Kylie Leuluai not allowed to take dual-registration with Hunslet

Leeds Rhinos have been refused permission to loan Kylie Leuluai to neighbours Hunslet due to the terms of his visa.
Leeds reacted with disappointment to the ruling, with chief executive Gary Hetherington criticising the role of the RFL. "This decision is purely down to bureaucracy and red tape and it is so disappointing that Rugby League players are treated differently to other professional sportsmen and how little influence our governing body seem to have compared to other sports," he told the club's official website.
