Cloughy would go as the 4th Prop with hopefully a signing of Chris Hill or as you say Bruce Gibbs. We would have real strength in depth in the pack then.

Yeah 100% definitely.

Then saints should do all they can to get him signed. He's top quality!

If we got Laffranchi as well I'd be a happy man.

Both are top quality!

Wouldn't your overseas list be

Quota

Flannery
Perry
Soliola

Non fed

Perry
Soliola
Puletua

With LH joining both lists you'd only be able to sign Laffranchi and Waterhouse if Puletua left?

No because flannery will be leaving and laffranchi holds a italian passport

You're only allowed 5 players, quota / kolpak, non-fed trained, whatever category they fall into.

Meli I would think is exempt.

Even if that laffranchi has a Italian Passport, he will count as one of the 5.

Flannerys not on your non fed list anyway.

Are you sure of that, Wigan have 8 or 9 and Hull KR have god knows how many?

I've asked the same thing.

I've just looked, they're right you're only allowed 5 of BOTH. Which does make you think how the other clubs are fitting everybody in?

I think Kolpack players signed before 2008 are exempt,so Meli isnt counted for us iirc.

What's our situation as it stands now for next year ( I take it flannery will Defo go).

It's a minefield this quota business!

Are we assuming TP stays or goes?

If TP and Flannery go. Meli is exempt.

Overseas Quota AND Overseas Trained:

Lance Hohaia
Anthony Laffrinchi
Iosia Soliola
Josh Perry

As it looks 50/50 leave him in for now.
