How many overseas players are allowed at each club this year? I'd be suprised if Quins RL still receive dispensation, but I am not sure about Catalan, Celtic and HKR

No but you had more in the 1st two years of SL then all other SL clubs will have for the rest of their days.

Oh yes...that's right. We did receive an extra quota whilst we began development of cockney league internationals like LMS......probably because we needed time to get grass roots RL up and running. What's your excuse? 100+ friggin years and you still can't put an English team together

Fox and Briscoe both deserve to represent their country (and hopefully will shortly), whilst young players like Kris Welham has the potential to in the near future.

P.S. We actually earned our SL place, you'd be fueding with the Skolars every year and the Cougars would be in SL instead if I had my way!

Cooke and Murrell too.

Kings v Quins:

9000 - 4000 (home fans)
1000 (away fans) v 20 (away fans)

+ we enjoy much greater merchandise sales etc, as well as fill a 25,000 ground with our neighbours.

In 30 years your support has increased very little, but keep up the good work!

FORMER NRL star Greg Bird was "the victim" when he allegedly assaulted a young woman in a Cronulla nightclub, Sutherland Local Court heard yesterday. The 25-year-old, who on Thursday flew in from France where he is playing for the Catalans rugby league team, had his one common assault charge upgraded to five charges but believes the evidence of three security guards and security video will clear him. "Three security officers are able not only to give evidence, but to give evidence to the effect that he was the victim in this matter," his solicitor Patrick Conaghan told the court. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 21,00.html

The basis of our judicial system - and that in all the free world (i.e. not China) is that you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law (not in the press).
That said, I still don't want him at my club, he's just an expensive foreigner taking the place deserved by one of our academy players.

I believe he played for Catalans against Wakefield today. So it seems he's being allowed to enter the country after all.
