LEEDS are ready to link up with Halifax after Bradford kicked any use of the dual-registration system with a top-flight club firmly into touch.
The Bulls have had a partnership with the Rhinos, allowing players to be exchanged for single matches at short notice, for two campaigns.

The Odsal side, now with new coach Eamon O'Carroll at the helm, added: "This decision was carefully reached by the club's leadership and coaching team after receiving several expressions of interest from Super League clubs, who all recognised the benefits of forging such a relationship with the Bulls.
