The club currently has only one quota spot and four players from Wellington Orcas rugby league are on the way to boost the depleted squad. Duffy wouldn't give me any names but they should be here for Sunday's game.

When you asked Duffy how a newly formed uk company can employ non EU nationals did he answer. Likewise did he explain how all these reserve grade players would get visas?

I know what I'd like. I'd like the rfl to confirm in public that the new owners met all of the criteria they outlined last week, I don't think I've seen that.

We're still waiting for that confirmation from about 3 or 4 previous owners ago. Wait your turn, and I suggest not holding your breath

Was only discussing this yesterday how they had got the place debt free after cutting their cloth accordingly. I doubt we would be in this position now had they been given control

Agreed. They had even arranged to pay off the main creditors (HMRC & rugby creditors) and arranged a minimal or no points deduction.

Shame one of them blurted it all out to the press before it was official and ruined things.

True enough I guess, the difference this time was the rfl published online a very specific and very public set of rules that any new owner had to meet. So I'm going to blindly assume they met them all until I'm told differently.
