This issue is you may have the space in terms of a federation spot, but do you have the space on the cap? The NRL budget is massive now, so it's not as simple as finding an NRL prop. A prop in the NRL may make more money being a water carrier each week than he could being in the starting 13 week in and week out in SL. So although the federation ruling came in to stop teams filling up on overseas via passports and EU rulings, effectively the change in $/£ and the new NRL contract may have lead to the situation where we can not fill up teams on overseas imports any more.
I think we had space on the cap, but not on the fedaration ruling, we've been looking for a prop and some said we where within touching distance of one but he chose elsewhere.
