www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... ticle.html Newts also doesn't count on the quota .

i was under the impression he never was on quota, english mother, british passport, born in america, aussie up-bringing! confused.com

He will know all about it. He has spent 3 years being regaled about the old country by Mick Vella.

Take off those, green tinted glasses old boy!!!!!!

Hopefully the RFL will take all this into account when awarding license's


Who was the first team to ask for dispensation when the new rules came in?

Which team has consistantly pushed the boundry's to get even more in?



Surely the RFL who tried to bring in this hard to enforce rule must be pretty annoyed by one club inparticular

Envious of what?

Your lack of development?

They will be more annoyed with clubs who play un-registered players and use invisible ink to sign players.

obviously not, as we were awarded an A license shortly after.

Ineptitude is more exceptable than out and out scum-baggory

Scum Baggory is a nice word, I will be using it again,

Scum-baggory however would be more suited to invading a pitch or say going to hudds and ripping the posts down.

Rovers are using the massive loop hole in the RFL Rules to give us an advantage, if the RFL are annoyed with it all they would have to do is shut the loop holes down.

I'm sure one of the first things on the agenda for the RFL is "OK gentlemen, can we move swiftly on to what Willa hopes?"

We should all be shot, with spud guns until very deaded.

It's all Clint Newtin's fault, he promised he'd sort this out.

Rovers have had some good fortune in this respect and I'm happy enough for them to exploit it to just shy of the point it becomes politically unwise.
I'll judge whether they've done that when the transfer merryground comes to a halt.
Hull fans will mock if we sign British fed-trained players like Hall and Radford and be outraged if we sign fed-qualified overseas players. Just a choice between different types of tiresome to ignore.

I don't agree with rules but if the loophole exists you can't blame any club for explioting it.

I also like that word..

[size=150Scum baggery.[/size.....top word that, I am impressed and shall also be using it in the future.

The rules are flawed because it is illegal to stop people entitled to work in this country from working in this country.

The clubs agreed to this rule and should do as much as possible to stick to it.

This said I do actually have no problem with galea becoming non-fed as this was in line with the first concession.

I would certainly have a problem if mason was to become exempt (as stated in the article).

This law will only work if the clubs don't try and use the loop holes that cannot be closed. The good of our game needs this rule to be enforced by the clubs.

Would you have a problem with that if he became exempt but signed for Hull FC ?

So basically your looking for a voluntary code that operates contrary to the Employment Laws.
Dream on.

...and for the good of the game it's vital that we don't have players like Mason over here.

You made a comment on the Mason thread (next signing)... you would bet that he does not come, but you will be happy to be proved wrong....make your mind up

I'm referring to Willa trying to take some moral high ground about Mason arriving as a non quota player. There's no contradiction here.
I absolutely want Mason to come to Rovers and not to Hull FC.
If you get him I won't be bleating about "bad for the game", I'll simply be gutted that we missed him.

she's getting as bad as Mr B for twisting comments to suit, to try and look clever. Surely she has some pots to wash.

Perhaps I should have framed my post between two "everything between these smileys is sarcasm" smileys.

Do they do those by the way?

I'm not taking the moral high ground.

We either want these non-fed rules or not.

If Mason signs for any club as non-quota then it's the final nail in the coffin of what potentially was a good idea.

I'm saying it's the only way it will work. I know it's highly unlikely

So you will be against him coming to Hull FC on that basis then.
