With the England and Exiles teams full announced as of wednesday and tonight game against St Helens still to be played. Makes me wonder what team that we will put out for the game, especially with the apparent rumour that no player is allowed to double up, which is silly since Tomkins brothers did it last year. Which means we will be missing, Danny Buderus, Kylie Leuluai, Brent Webb, Jamie Peacock, Ryan Hall, Jamie Jones-Buchanan and Kevin Sinfield. Also with injuries we will be missing Ben Jones-Bishop, Kallum Watkins, Keith Senior. If the rumour about Clarkson, Burgess and McShane is true then we will be without them aswell (that they have played a set amount to set of a bonus clause) im going by it being not true here.


EDIT: Webb cleared to play as not picked in final exiles squad.

We could be lining up with:

Webb
Hardaker
Ablett
Delaney
Smith
McGuire
Burrow
Burgess
Mcshane
Bailey
Lauitiiti
Pitts
Clarkson

Hauraki
Kirke
Cross
Singleton

Hood
Stewart

Webb, Kylie, and JJB aint got a chance of making the final squads. So they will be playing next week.

How can they possibly tell teams the players can't double up?! Under what powers? They can ask but can't see how they can enforce it?

On the virtual terrace Hull KR are nicknamed HKA (Hull Kingston Australia) because of all of the Aussies playing for them. This week we shall get into the spirit of things and call them Hull Kinston Exiles.

top optimism by getting in on next week before this one is even over
still any excuse to write a list of players eh?

We all like lists

In the NRL following the State of Origin some of the Aussies played in the NRL as well, so can't see why the likes of Sinny can't play for us..

cricket before, west stand anyone?

Brent Webb free to play, Buderus and Leuluai in final exiles squad.

Our non quota/non feds are 8

Yours are 7

Does 1 extra really make that much difference !!!

well ive heard peacocks playing both ?

I hope so

I am supprised kylie made the team?

Webb will be playing for us but not sure if peacock is fit enough to double up.

i would rather have a half fit peacock than a fully fit baily

Oh.

We will see if their is any advantage to having none in either team around 7:40pm on Sunday

Referee - R Hicks

Add in Rhys Lovegrove and Willie Mason and you're at 10 overseas players. Then consider the relatively small contingent of KR homegrown players and you can see why some people may be a bit concerned.

I am quite worried about facing HKE this week, we ait in the best form hope we can improve

You think he will play?

You never know



to be fair most clubs have more non british player than I would like anyhow.

Yeah sure - why not?

The way your lot have been flaunting the register/deregister quota rules anything could happen by Sunday.

I heard Leeds were going to de-register Leuluai and Buderus and sign Cameron Smith and Petero Civoniceva for the week!! Both will sign fully for next season and be off quota - To get a Samoan passport Smith is meeting with the Samoan President in the morning as his great great grandmother once went on holiday to Samoa. Petero is just allowed because he is a bad a$$ and asked the RFL nicely. Bobbins

Yet we had twice as many Hull lads than Fc did in sundays game.

Any Leeds players who aren't going to play, or any coach who doesn't select them, should read the following quote from Royce Simmons regarding the St.Helens players in Friday's match:

"They'll be playing on Sunday. They said, 'We'll back up', and I said, 'Of course you bloody will, that's what you get paid to do.' I think they've got a duty to come back and be right at the top of their game. I know it's hard but they need to come back and show the young kids at the club why they are playing at that level."
