Quota (that we had 2 spots free on) but non fed (which we had 0 spots free on) due to him being here pre 2008.

Cheers Neil... I like to think Im an educated fella but this quota business baffles some times! Technically we could count him as non-fed next year dependent on other recruitment?

I really think Phelps and Obst are a couple of good, solid signings, part of what we needed. Now on to the coach... (in another thread obviously!).

He wouldn't count as non-fed but would count on the quota so we would have to sign someone that is non-fed trained but not on the quota.

All things considered; We've not done too bad to recruit a couple of proven players for vital positions. Who knows, they 'might' change the dynamics of the team, giving us a little bit of 'unpredictability.' For me this is something we have lacked for sometime.(since the Sharp/Agar era)

Kosh posted a pretty good explanation somewhere, but best way to imagine it is two separate lists, some players will occupy a spot on one or other of the lists, some will occupy a spot on both. The max on any one list is 5 players.

Quota/Non Fed - your aussies/kiwis that were trained in the NRL - Fitzgibbon

Quota/Fed - Aussies/Kiwis that were trained over here (rare - Lovegrove is the only one that springs to mind) or were here pre 2008 under a RFL Exemption (Obst)

Non Quota/Non Fed - Tongan/Samoan/EU/sundry other agreements etc that were trained over seas (Sam Moa etc)

Non Quota/Fed - UK born and trained players, or Tongan/Samoan/EU/Etc that were here pre 2008 (ie Manu)

The Island went over some peoples heads.

Got to admire Kear's humour in this horrible time for Wakey: "I don't blame Hull because it's business," Kear told the Mail. "It's like a closing down sale at an electrical shop and Hull have got a 42 inch TV for £100". www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... ticle.html?

I know he's short, but he must be taller than 42 inches

Lets just hope he tunes in, or he will just be another static player on the pitch.

Good to see our new signings have high ambitions, sounds like Obst is a real good player to have around he club. www.hullfc.com/hullfc/contents/?p=7375 Interesting cpmment at the bottom - 'There is still a chance that Obst could receive the necessary paperwork for him to be able to join up with the first team squad for Hull’s clash with Leeds on Friday'.

When I said TV I didn't mean television



Obviously not as funny as I thought

I knew what you meant, i was making the joke at the main article and quoted you rather than that

42" TV, sounds like the half time entertainment!

As long as he gets a good reception!

Or have i moved too far from the TV thing?

Definitely too far, lets just hope he provides with a good aerial threat

Nice.

Hope Hull isnt too remote for him



Taxi!!!

As long as he presses the right buttons he will be fine

i'm sure he'll find the right channels

He will the SKYs the limit

A song for Obst

"It's just like watching TV, It's just like watching TV"

Wonder if he'll want an upgrade in August

From HB to HD!
