I know all men exaggerate the size of their Willies, but that is some statement (and incorrect). You should watch a bit more of the NRL. |

No club is allowed to take legal action against the RFL. Doing so results in automatic expulsion from all RFL sanctioned competitions. Plus all clubs agreed to the quota regs, so even if they did go to court they'd have zero chance of winning.
I'd vote for lazy/incompetent journalism personally. |

As you've said though, needing a visa and whether he's quota or non-quota is a seperate issue. He'll have a visa and then it's down to which one the RFL want to classify him as. |

I have. TBF most of them realise this anyway - it's the press that keep confusing the issue by not checking facts before printing rubbish. |

If they stick to the rules as published then he moves from 'quota' to Non-Fed Trained. Not sure how this benefits KR as it doesn't open up another overseas spot on the total allowed. |

Indeed. It does mean though that they would have a spare Aussie spot if they could remove one of their non-fed trained from their overall numbers. It may be part of their longer time plan.
As i suggested yesterday on here though, there may well be something not yet reported which is an additional dispensation. Maybe the PM of Tonga and John Prescott have created a special one off alcohol related dispensation.  |

Quote 2011
At least 8 home grown players.
No more than 5 quota players.
No more than 5 overseas trained players inc quota players.
Rest of squad to be from players trained within same federation.
[editKEY
Home grown players - any player still under 21 and/or has completed 3 years service with the same clubs academy set up.
Same federation - any player still under 21 and/or has completed 3 years service with other clubs academy set ups within UK (for UK SL clubs) or France (for Catalans etc)
Overseas quota players - as per current rules i.e. Anyone unable to prove origins within EU or Kolpak countries.
Overseas trained - any other overseas player (EU passport or Kolpak etc.)'"
so it makes no difference??
From what ive read, the dispensation looks to cover them until they get Galea classed as Fed trained, is it not ? |
