After the recent debacle involving SEX and Coffs Harbour, I've decided to 'lay down the law' with regard to player loans between clubs.

a). Players can be loaned in the event of injury at a club. If, by some fluke, Wellington are unable to find a replacement five-eighth, it is acceptable for an ESF squad to give them a temporary loan.
B). Players cannot be loaned for one game for any other reason. A player can be given a long-term loan to a club though. A long-term loan means the player plays at the club he is loaned to regularly. That player may be recalled if he is needed by his owner club.

For example, Gold Coast have loaned Cameron Smith (7/7 hooker) to Sydney for an indefinate period. The Oilers have him until the end of the season, but Gold Coast can call him back if he is needed.

Obviously we (Nath or I) will keep an eye on loans. We won't tolerate abuse of the system, but we do encourage Premier League clubs to loan players they aren't using to our Division Two sides should they need it.

Our job is to help them ascend, and loans are a good way to do so.

Even though I am not in your Alliance, I would like to note that this scheme is very good and all for it (again although I am not in your alliance).
