Also tomorrow, #HullFC scour the overseas market for talent for 2012 after winning a bid to have hooker Aaron Heremaia taken off the quota.

Total joke and we take the pi$$ out of KR for doing it.

Hmmm, if Obst gets his too could we keep both Phelps and Lauaki?

Whilst I agree with you Baldy, I didn't actually take the pi$$ out of Rovers. So i'm quite happy about it tbh.

And they're trying to get obst off as well

Why would you want to keep those two?

Don't fooking spoil it!

I disagree with 'bending' the rules...but Pearson did state on Look North that he would look to make some big overseas signings...

Phelps yes...Lauaki....not sure.

Pomeroy ? Heighinton ? Justin poore ?

Why Phelps?

Lets go and get better, much better.

Agree but if sides are benefitting from playing the rules to the limit, we shouldn't whinge, but join in with them

they dont come much bigger than hutch lauaki.

Has looked very good at FB and why he was subbed on Sunday is beyond me but thats just my opinion.

Fair enough, but with McKinnon signed he'd just be a utility back, ala Todd Byrne. Total waste of a non-fed spot.

Yep, I don't agree with the system but if that's how it is then play it.

We can win the whiter than white trophy for being so completely virtuous. Personally I'd prefer the best possible side and the super league trophy

I don't want us to break any rules but if other clubs stretch the rules in relation to imports or the salary cap then lets do the same if it means being competitive.

If we do free up some quota spots then I would rather keep Phelps than Lauaki but I woudn't mind if they both left.

Aaron has an Italian wife and some efforts were made for him to come off quota in 2006 when he was still with Leigh as I believe it makes him eligible for a dual passport.

Hang on, even if he's off quota, isn't he still non-fed?

Yups, but I thought we had a non fed/non quota spot left (rare as rocking hose poo), so this would free that up to a non fed/quota spot.

Couldn't care less which rule we are bending. If we can get him off, do it.

Not sure how i feel about this, as i think it should be 5 non British players and thats it. No exemptions, no rule bending, no drinks with the Samoan prime minister etc.......
But I am getting desperate now! Was'nt Shillington mentioned before?
We need some more grunt up front and if AP wants to send us all a message about his intent, then that would be a good start. Oh and sack Agar please AP
