We've got 2/3 quota spaces depending on moa.

But there irrelevant, unless we sign player signed in sl before 2008, as we only have 1 non fed.

Haha yeah theres always the Tongans



Maybe we should go for Etu Uaisele (Tongan fullback) & Eddie Paea (Halfback or Hooker) , don't know if there any good but they're both Tongan

We have 4 players who count on the non-fed list, Phelps would be the 5th, as he's an Aussie and Aussies/kiwis count on both quota and non-fed lists.

Still all non fed though.

5 quota
5 non fed

But quota players count on both lists.

I know, sorry maybe should of put that I was being sarcastic. Quite hard to tell when someones being sarcastic over the internet

Not if they signed for a super league side before 2008.

I wonder if theres any players back in the nrl who this would apply to?

Fair do's. Think I got a bit over excited about finally understanding the rules!

Does that still count if they move from one Super League club to another? And also do French players count as Non-Fed trained? Its all a little confusing this quota business

Yeah, was going to put that part but didn't want to confuse the issue anymore.

Suppose it depends how much you want to bend the rules! Best signed for a SL club pre 2008.

Jamie Lyon aswell.

Gleeson

Which one?

Get him a Greek passport and he counts on neither list! Job done!

This rumour thread just got interesting again.

Sammut has a Maltese passport, wouldn't the same apply?

Didn't sign for a SL club pre 2008.

Heard a couple of weeks ago that Wigan had to make some room in the cap to offset the higher tax been paid by their overseas signings. The next week Pryce and Mellor went to Quins and ive been told more movement has to be made.

Does that rule apply if you have a European Passport?

I've just done a Sammut search on the HDM and one of the article reads he wouldn't take up a quota space and we'd still be able to sign up another Aussie I'd we choose. I appreciate quoting HDM is poor form.

I'd post the link but in not sure how I do that via IPhone.

He would have had to apply for the exemption before his contract expired, and I'm fairly sure it lapses if the player leaves SL.

Yes. His passport determines if he's on the quota or not, his SL registration date determines whether he's non-fed or not. The two are independent.


Amazingly enough they're wrong.

Technically they're not wrong, he'd be non-fed, but not quota.

What I don't get is that if Berro had stayed, we would still have had a non fed spot available.
So, how did he get to be fed trained status?

Signed before 2008 and he got residency.

Think its irrelevant about Sammut becuase can't see him coming
