Rumour is Flannery is off to Widnes for 2012.

Good move for both parties IMO

Because it's no longer about quota's.

Simply this year and next you are allowed 5 players that are non-federation trained. not in addition but just five non federation players Max.

The only excemptions are those players who where under contract playing in the UK before the new rule, hence meli.


However having said all of the above , I conveniently forgot that Flannery is pre federation, so we can actually keep him, until he retires or we want rid. My bad.

I shall go to the back of the class now.


Doh!!!

Players that were in the European game pre February 2008 may apply for a dispensation.

I should image that most of them entitled to this have already done so.

im happy with that he'll be a good player for us
