I'm sure it's something Hampshire could practice in the off season he's got 4/5 months to master it

I have no problem doing it but we don't seem to bother with stickies on this forum. No one looks above the recent threads so it just gets started as a new one.

I have a feeling that the quota/non-federation trained rules changed and there is now no difference between the two.
I think clubs are allowed a maximum of 7 non-fed trained players.

So for us I would make that: (Not 100% on all the dates but I think they're right)
Bill Tupou - 2020
Jacob Miller - 2022
David Fifita - 2019 (option for another year)
Tyler Randell - 2019
Justin Horo - 2019
Pauli Pauli - 2019
Tinrau Arona - 2019 (option for another year)

Don`t know too much regarding the non-fed ruling tbh, I have seen some talking about Josh Drinkwater having a German passport but I think this just means that he would not have to go through the Visa process but would still count as non-fed.

With Robert Elstone coming in and shaking things up a little I wonder if there could be some changes coming, in the way of increasing the quota. The wrong option and a step backwards in my opinion in terms of development etc however we have seen stranger things happen over the years.

Maybe there is an British based half back that has become available? I know Catalan were after Matty Smith but after Drinkwater showing how good a fit he is there they may have pulled out, leaving St Helens with a half sat on the cap they are not going to use. Not the perfect option but proven, experienced and an above average kicking game which is the missing piece in the Wakefield jigsaw for me.

According to the propper sport team smith to Catalan is a done deal
No news on a drinkwater contract extension at Catalan either

If he was staying there I would have expected him to already be tied into a contract by now
