Would have been a great signing 2/3 years ago,but watched him yesterday and looked very average and has had injury problems for the last 2 years.He's a big bloke but looks past his best and would be happy to bypass him. coyh

Agree about Galloway , He doesn't look like the player from a couple of years back .

Is it? Wen was that changed? Didn't it used to be 5 quota? 7 non fed?

So we only have mini, pritchard and talanoa signed up. I hope we don't use all 7 places unless the other 4 are top quality. Don't want to see squad players on the non fed list

The term 'quota' was done away with as nobody meets that criteria any more as those who gained the exemptions are all retired now, I think. It used to be 5 & 5 now it's just 7 non-fed.

Micheals will get a new deal I would have thought. Vidot & Inu will take up two spots, leaving one left.

A ruptured achilles for Ellis could easily be 12+ months with recovery. We need to seriously consider whether we plan for being without him next year, if he ever comes back at all.

I'll be impressed if we get vidot, perrett, hodges, inu and pritchard.

Perrett & Hodges are non-starters, Hodges was a possibility for a while.

I'm pretty sure that quota referred to those without a legal right to play in the UK without a visa and non fed was introduced to limit those players with european heritage or kolpak eligible players. Anyway, thanks for clarifying we can have 7 non fed players of any nationality

We need to seriously consider whether we plan for being without him next year, if he ever comes back at all. Actually, it appears there is still a quota of 5 overseas players according to the rfl website unless this is out of date C1:4:2 QUOTA OF OVERSEAS PLAYERS Each Club shall be entitled to register only the Quota of "overseas Players" in all squads set out below in each season save for those Clubs which are granted an exemption in such form as the Board shall decide: Maximum Number of Overseas Players Super League Clubs – 5 Championship Clubs – 5 League 1 Clubs – 2 See here No mention of non fed in there but pretty sure it was 7 so seems strange it's not mentioned

Probably the only guy still playing in the league that is still a 'quota' player with the pre 2008 fed trained exemption.

Heremaia, Leuluai and Lauititi are the only others I can think of still playing
