Clint Greenshields, now there'd be a signing. Always rated him. Get him and Ratchford snapped up.

Could you imagine if this was Wigan. Absolutely unbelievable. Makes a complete shambles of the whole quota situation.

Because both their contracts for the year are counted against the cap, whether registered as a player or not.

You are right of course.

Saying that, you would have thought the "spirit of the quota" would count for something.

Fair play to K.R, they have succeeded in finding loopholes, whilst constantly seeking advice from the RFL. The RFL have been complicit in this whole saga and it speaks volumes about the credibility of the whole organisation

I would not at all be surprised if this whole ordeal had been concocted by KR to massively bump up revenue prior to Masons pre arranged departure to RU, in shirts sales etc. Lets be honest, why were the so determined to get him on quota?

This has been about financial gain for KR and media gain for the RFL.

Mason is quids in all round.

Every one is happy..........................

Brent Kite could be a possibility for next year - have heard in Oz that he may possibly move on, quality prop.

Also what are people's thoughts on Andy Powell, looks like Wasps may be getting rid of him, following his exploits in recent years can't see too many RU teams being interested. He's got the size and the hands to play prop imo and not too shabby in defence. Would be interesting for the right money - There's possibly Henson as well alhtough i'm not sure he'd be up to centre in RL.
