David Fusitu'a leaving Warriors to join Leeds in Super League

How could we have loaned Hankinson to London if they had to take on his whole cap value? Their cap is way lower isn't it? Surely that would block the vast majority of lower league loan deals. Is that really how it works?

I have no idea how they did it. They do have a marquee rule for the lower leagues but it seems pointless as a non club trained player still counts up to £150k on the cap and I am sure he wasn't on that.

Anyway it all seems very clear to me if you read this (which I must have read about 10 times to make sure I wasn't imagining things because I was surprised it work like this myself):
