Exceptions to the rules are even written into the rules. From the RFL's General Competition rules for SL (thanks to Kosh for the link).

B1:15 The Board shall be given the discretion to declare that a Player qualifies as a ‘Club Trained Player’ or a ‘Federation Trained Player’ notwithstanding that the player does not satisfy strictly the definition where in the Board’s absolute discretion the Board is satisfied that in all the circumstances the player satisfies the spirit of the definition and in particular shall take into account in relation to ‘Federation Trained Player’ any time registered with a member club of a member organisation of the relevant federation, and in relation to ‘Club Trained Player’ time registered on loan with a member club of the relevant federation or a
member club of a member organisation of the relevant federation. The burden of establishing such circumstances is strictly on the individual player.

thought this was about kyle bibb? not our overseas players

Matty_HullFC = OWNED!!!!!

Now get back to your revising you lazy, tax dodging layabout

For someone who is "not too bothered" you certainly have posted a lot

Anyway,he's only jealous because hull could'nt get players over to fill their quota allowance even before dispensation

At least O'Meley has seen the light and has turned you down.

Proof that happened

Twas the voices in Digger the Dogs' head

Have I missed something here, The only ones who said O'Meley turned Rovers down is FC fans, has anyone got a link that clearly says we were in for him, I wait with not so baited breath

The only light he's seen is the one above the operating table!

I think they more than used up their allowance when Gateshead took them over and basically played a full team of Aussies.

I didn't see you asking for proof he is on 170k when your mates claimed that

TBF Stan the £170k is mentioned in [url=http://www.sporthull.co.uk/rugby_league/hull_fc/news/displayarticle.php?ID=13208this[/url article as been his current salary in Aussie. Hardly likely to asked to be released from that contract so that he can earn less money over here is he. Unless his knee is totally fooked

[iReported to be[/i



Still no proof then?

Have you any proof that he isn't??

The only info in the public domain states he is on a reported salary of £170k and common sense suggests he is very unlikely to take a pay cut to come over here.

So until there is anything to the contrary i think its fair to say he is earning at least £170k over here.

(Unless of course they meant $'s rather than £'s)

it is exactly the same as Berrigan was going to sign for you and Crocker was going to join you; only Rovers fans have said this

Dont care what he is on so why should i ask.
Still waiting for proof that Rovers wanted to sign him though.

What are you looking for? Hudgell's mobile phone bill showing O'Meley's agent's number? A copy of an offer letter? Or evidence of the sort that you produced that you were in the hunt for Scott Prince?

I'll ask again, has anyone got a link, or are you all just going to keep on making excuses, or has someone got the balls to come on here, and tell it the way it really is 'BS'

Once again, show me the definitive post where i am supposed to have said Scott Prince would be signing for Rovers.
You consistantly show how brainless you are.
O'Meley signing for Hull broke when i was in the Team hotel in France and trust me the reaction wasnt one of them missing out on a player

Rob, O'Meley was a Rovers target, Morgan has admitted that himself to an ex player who is also a target and someone you know yourself.

It is no big deal but he was a target for Rovers. I would suggest JM already knew in the team hotel he was not getting his man so maybe that is why he did not jump up and down and start smashing his head into the wall

So you got this info from you Dad's,Dogs,Counsins,Neighbour's Hairdresser


In other words 'I have no proof at all but instead of admitting it i'm gunna keep on making myself look an even bigger t!t'

Not at all.

I was told by a player on Sunday who in turn had been told by Justin two weeks earlier that he was a target.

Meeting JM for lunch this week so will have the chance to clarify, I really hope this is good enough for you



Some of us are not lucky enough to have the money to buy dogs from families that can afford houses and hairdressers for their dogs and have to make do with talking to players and coaches about things like this
