What about dispensation for matongo, must be something there. At the end of the day, you're trying to say rovers use way more overseas players then others and we need them. Yes we do need them like every other club, but we have a couple who probably won't play when the 8s start.

Ahh, another example of a Rovers fan knowing absolutely nothing about the Non-Fed rules.

Let me say this again sloooowly for you Moxi. FEDERATION TRAINED. Hull FC are in the RLEF Federation and Masi Matongo has been registered at Hull a number of years. It has nothing to do with whether he was born in Harare or Hull, or what his passport says.

Why must there be something there?

Hull KR have and do rely on overseas players more than most clubs, they have a poor history of youth development and a long history of using as many overseas players as they can get past the RFL.

I'm surprised no ones mentioned the Willie Mason/Michael Dobson run around.

So you have 8 players that are not of British nationality but make out we get dispensation for a squad of 40 players all of who are not of British nationality because we rely on getting dispensation from the rfl.

This is getting tiresome. Masi's nationality, passport or birthplace has NOTHING to do with the Fed/Non-Fed rules. Also, just because he was born in Zimbabwe doesn't mean he's not a British National, but that's another point & not relevant in this discussion. Do us all a favour Moxi and read the rules will you? Here they are, all you got to do is click the link and go to section 14. http://media.therfl.co.uk/docs/Section% ... %20PDF.pdf

It's the point scoring your trying to achieve by speaking as if rovers rely on dispensation for loads of overseas players when your own club would struggle without them too!

Ok. The point still stands though doesn't it, whoever the players were that you somehow squeezed under the quota. You tried to get round the rules, and the rules were changed.

10 years on and nothings improved that much at Rovers, still bending the rules and relying on dispensation.

You can't bend the rules if your playing by the rules which we always have done haven't you more overseas players than us

At the moment, rovers have the best youngsters in the city, the likes of: Oakes, Cator, jubb, Wardill, Moran, Harris, Lawler and Marsh. FC have no one near the quality we have. Keep hold of the likes of them and we won't need to rely on too many overseas players in the future.
