Bleases interview he states that as Sivo hasn't played a game in the league they don't even have to submit paperwork for him to be removed from the "Live" cap.Its the dispensation possibilities of the quota Leeds are currently exploring but hasn't heard anything back from the Super league admins.Hopefully Blease has something in his little black book that he can put together.I'd rather us hold fire and bring in quality than filling a space so we may have to wait and see if there's anyone being pushed out / not getting game time elsewhere.Reckon we'll still get that email from gawwy saying were up to the cap though, its tradition.

He hasn't played and isn't going to play this season. He's removed completely from the cap. With regard to the quota, there is no defensible position other than to remove him for the season.

It's pretty poor stuff that there's no guidance on quota spot already in the rules. Shambles.

and why is it taking them so long to confirm whether we have a free quota spot or not.

Absolutely. The two go hand in hand. Rank amateur stuff yet again.

Agreed. Poor that it's not in the rules to start with, another level of poor that this just wasn't sorted within 10 mins of the issue being raised.

That's a bit harsh. Its just an issue that's never come up before, so isn't codified. The cap exemption will only have been applied a few times since it was first mooted (be interesting to know, as absolutely certain pre season-ending injuries aren't that common). Anyone who has any experience of contracts or legislation will know that these things are often drafted with what seem to be "obvious" gaps. Filling those gaps, despite how obvious they might be, often isn't straightforward, as there may be a tortuous process to do so.

Nah, it's much easier doing a brain-dead pile onto the RFL and mis-spelling Hetherington's name.
