I’d like to know how people think we are bringing drinkwater in without releasing one of our quota players as currently (with the rumoured signing of Fensom) we are up to quota.

Lolohea - NFT
Peteru - NFT
Cuthbertson - NFT OQ
Parcell - NFT OQ
Delaney - NFT OQ
Garbutt - NFT OQ
Fensom - NFT OQ.

We would also have to release one of the five on overseas and non fed trained quota as drinkwater would count on both.

My understanding, Cuthbo and Delaney do not count towards the Overseas Quota

That would make the comments mid season incorrect when the club said we couldn’t bring any over seas signings in as we were up to quota.

Cuthbo qualified to play for England iirc? Wouldn't that mean he's not counted as OQ

Qualifies for England under grand parent rules, not parents so still counts on the quota.

Says different on the 2018 squad & u19’s page.

There are three exceptions for a player to avoid quota player status. Those are listed below:

1. When a player has played for a rugby team for six years, he is eligible to gain British citizenship and does not count under the quota.

2. If the player has a passport for any EU nation or a Kolpak nation.

3. If the player is from a Kolpak nation such as Samoa or Tonga.

As per the above, i believe Cuthbo has a British passport and Delaney has been here 8 years!

If that is correct we have 3 spots available

I believe as things stand...Given Delaney yet to sign a contract, this is how it would look

Cuthbo - NFT
Peteru - NFT
Lolohea - NFT
Parcell - NFT OQ
Garbutt - NFT OQ

Leaving 3 OQ spots and 2 NFT spots.

If Delaney was to re-sign...we would still have 3 OQ spots, but only 1 NFT.

Fensome is signed and takes up one spot.
