Its not the point re quota places. It is down to the definition of non fed trained.

Clubs have been led to believe that quota players who came to the UK before a set date and played here so many years would be eligible to move from quota to non fed trained.

Now the RFL are saying this is not so. Clubs ,like Cas, are not to blame. The constantly changing RFL rules and haziness of communicating the latest interpretation is at fault.

i dont mate, i cant really go with you on that one i thought obst was one of the best for you around the play the ball i would be much happier if we were rumoured to be siging him on than the old man, i think we have shown this year that youth is the way forward and the we reportedley go out and sign martin and drew, its beyond belief to me and to make matters worse we look like letting boyle go one of the best youg forward prospects in the league, but thats just my opinion.

What is your interpretation of clubs like Cas?

could be seeing mcgoldrick at wakey next season because of this cock up

The reality I have been told is that we signed both Drew and Martin on one and two year contracts respectively, believing both had either come off the quota or were about to come off it. Neither have or are, and so the contracts as far as I am aware are either null and void or have been cancelled.

The result is that both players are considering legal action against our club. It may also even go to a RL tribunal.

Personally I cannot believe how we could have been so incompetent and amateurish.

Unfortunately, that sound exactly something our club would do.

I would expect the deals would never have been sanctioned by the RFL anyway because of the quota rules making them void.

No f*cking chance.

The dispute would be between the players and Cas. It has nothing to do with Wakey.

Really, thought thats how we work.

i know but if we are forced to hold these contracts we need to get someone off quota and mcgoldrick to wakey is picking up some steam especially after this.

just ask wigan how to do it

Have I missed the club announcement that we've signed Tony Martin (or indeed anyone else not already playing at the club)?

I know Goldie is one of Robbo's and I have a good idea of the salary he is being paid. There is no way Wakey would pay him that. Plus he also has 2 years left on his contract which I am sure he will want to have honoured,just like Drew and Martin.

If all this is true I would imagine Cas would loan out or sell on Martin and still continue to pay a portion of his wage in the same way they did with Korki.

He signed a two year deal about three weeks ago and its in the same drawer as a couple of other signed contracts that are waiting to be announced at the right time.
