Agreed!!

And yet we could still name an all English 17

I said it COULD be an option to play him there.Never said let's buy him and stick him at centre.

i take meli with open arms.

My thoughts exactly.

As is their want, the RFL changed this to allow players who qualified, i.e. playing in super League or registered with a club prior to 1st february 2008, to keep their newly designated status, once their contract was up for renewal, until they retire, in other words they count as federation trained, wheresoever they play (in SL) and this counts until they hang up their boots. The idea being that in the future these players will all eveuntually retire and that the youngsters will then start to flourish (hopefully), as they do not have to compete with established overseas players.



Based on this rule we could have brought Berrigan off quota this year if he'd signed a three yr deal back in the day, but as his contract was 3 yrs plus additional yr based on certain critieria, he wouldn't qualify until next season, and as our other 'quota' players did not register before February 2008, they will always be counted as non-federation trained, unless they qualify for residency, I think???



I think this is why Rovers and Wigan are able to bring in more 'quota' players, as many of their current 'quota' players were registered before the deadline, I may be wrong but I think rovers could actually bring in at least 3 aussies for 2011.

Wouldn't go near him, wrong side of 30, injury prone, enough said.

What squad number are we giving him then?

got to agree tbh

Injury prone, really!!!

Well he hardly plays every game does he.

Has played 20+ SL games each year for the past 4, this years prob been his worst 16 out of 23 so far
