“The opportunity for the players to get weekly exposure to playing in the championship will prepare them for what is required to play at high intensity consistently.
"Over previous seasons we have had success of players going spending time on loan, gaining valuable experience playing in a competitive environment which has helped them learn and develop their game to push into the first team.
"Brad O’Neill spent time out on loan in 2021 and then played a vital role in the 2022 challenge cup campaign.”
Ramon Silva has also linked up with the London club on a short-term loan.
The prop was named as an interchange in their opening game of the season against Batley Bulldogs.
