wen did that happen

Please don't copy and paste whole articles from the press - it is a copyright infringement. Cheers, MR.

mmm very interesting cheers for that, still don't think we will get Mason though.

You must be very proud, and if you play your cards right and get Mason you can maybe even bring another aussie over. Just hope that a team like you who, deliberately, does not conduct themselves within the spirit of the rules never prospers.

Look closer to home before shooting off, next year you may be in a similar boat. Manu off quota, Meli in.... not saying I agree with it but we're not the only one.

so many come backs but can't be bothered to have yet another thread derailed into a point scoring borefest.

personally i think the quota thing is getting a bit silly but if the rfl allow it, thats not our fault

Obviously this will increase our recruitemnt options , but would like to see more British players coming in , though they would have to be of good enough quality.

Although rules are there to be twisted, i really think all clubs shouldnt be trying to twist them and should try to respect them. Id be dissapointed if fc went down the same lines but would understand why

I agree also great to see the franchise system working

It's a farce but I've given up worrying about it now.

I'd be surprised if Galea even knew where Malta is, never mind supposedley coming from there.

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.
