I'd have Elima back tomorrow.

Apparently Kear was sent a video by his agent and was impressed with his perfomance on the boat with Pamela Anderson so we have offered him a three year contract

have to face facts ... trin cannot attract anyone worth anything so we cxan only get unknowns or second rate players.

next season willbe worst than this one, unless we sign players on 2 year contracts which tie them to championship RL, and art least then they will play for us knowing that we deserve relegation next year, and should be there now.

got this quote about KP from the wolves forum...


and almost fell off my chair laughing at the last sentence.... poor Kevin... he wont know what [ihome fans bagging players[/i means until he comes to play at Wakefield!!!

Ilove this club to the core, but would think twice about playing ... or advising either of my two sons... in front of you whinging rabble!

We have put an offer for him he is a half back who plays for the cowboys,he is seriosly considereing it and am pretty sure he is going to sign due to me having a conversation with his dad.

Second rate australian that cant controll games, unable to finnish and cannot kick. waist of time. Should be using home grown talent.

Cowboys are my NRL team and after watching him a few times earlier in the season Rovelli was very average to say the least, wouldnt be happy with this if true!

Grant rovelli has played international for Italy. Does this mean he doesn't count on the quota?

Perhaps not but he will be classed as an overseas player.

I'm pretty sure with the rumoured signing of Parker, that's the overseas limit full, no room for Leaeno either.

I think Parker counts as a non-fed trained player because he represend PNG.

Our overseas players for next season are Jeffries, Morrison, Millard and Obst which i think means we have 1 space left (i might be wrong).

Our non-fed players will be Parker, Korky, Leeano? an Blanch which i think means we have no more spaces left.

that's already too many. You can't have that many non fed if you have used up quota places. I assume neither Blanche nor Korki count on any list.

Can anybody actually confirm how many quota players we are allowed to have next season?

Clubs are allowed 5 overseas players in total, which includes the permitted 5 Quota players.

Blanch, Korkidas and Henderson are all exempt.

This means our quota is full and i think that means no room for Leano.

Unless the club are looking to make room by releasing one of the contracted overseas players. If so it would provide a little substance to the apparent contract offer to Jeffries from Cronulla.

It does add weight to th rumour but does it make sense for us to let one of our more creative players got and replace him with a prop. I can only see this to be a benifit to the club if with have 2 British halfbacks lined up to come in possibly Briggs and Moore.

Not the best source but it does tie in with the RFL operational rules for 2008/09/10 with regards to overseas players (Section B1:11C) so it must carry some credence. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quota_players#2011 www.therfl.co.uk/clientdocs/Part ... on%20B.pdf

assuming we have signed Parker

So that means that with Morrison, Obst, Millard and Jeffries we have 1 space left providing we havn't signed Parker and if we have signed Parker then we are full and this means that there is no room for Leano or any other overseas players.

There was a rumbling during Jeffries first stint that he was looking to obtain British Citizenship, I’m sure both Jeffries and Obst would qualify under residency residency, which would take them off Quota, however I don’t know if this would then make them exempt under the same regulations that allow Blanch, Korkidas and Henderson to be exempt from the non-fed status.

From reading the rules it appears to me that residency doesn't matter. It seems that to qualify as a home grown player you must have been trained for at least 3 years up until the age of 21 in Britain so if an Aussie came over at 17 then he would not count as an overseas player.

Henderson doesn't count on the quota because he was at the club before 2006 and i think this is possibly the same for Korky.

I am not sure why Blanch doesn't count on the quota, it may be something to do with him playing for Ireland but i am not sure.

As far as I’m aware, any player who has an EU passport (or is from a KOLPAK nation) who was playing in the UK before Feb 2007 is exempt from the non-federation rules. Blanch has represented Ireland and was at Cas in 05/06. This, I presume, is the reason for his exemption.

It’s this ruling that could affect Jeffires and Obst, if they take British Citizenship, they’ll be able to apply for a British Passport and were playing in the UK before the afore mentioned date. Of course the date that British Citizenship is obtained could be the overriding factor, but it would be interesting to see these possibilities to pan out.

Jason Walton def signed for next season from the horses mouth. Gale apparently coming to you from quins which is a strange one....

Smoke and fire re Luke Gale or putting 2 and 2 together and getting many. I'm sure I saw somewhere that he'd signed a long term deal and we wouldn't be paying a fee. How many more will be leaving? - reference Barry McD's comments.
