Anyone else getting a little fed up of this quota business, how much time have we wasted over the last three or four years, lining up signings, giving trials etc. Yet the likes of Barrow/Sheffield/Gateshead manage to target overseas/world cup players they know they will not have a problem signing

both teams away at the two best regional teams by far


not going to be easy for either team, as sharlston and kells both have some real quality players

We do not have any quota players - Armitage has an exemption.

I imagine Ned wants to keep the spot free to see what happens later in the season.

By the way, Anthony Rourke played alongside Chris Hill for GB Academy. I watched quite a bit of his junior age group and I remember him as a very talented lad at Rylands who played 6 but I believe he has been at 13 the last couple of years.
Welcome to Leigh mate, and good luck.

Quota player will arrive in time for league season, costs too much for early MM Cup games.
