So basically if T.P. stays we let Flanno go and we have signed Laffranchi then we are at our quota limit.If T.P. leaves and we get rid of Flanno then we have 1 space ( assuming we sign A.L. ).It seems Flanno is going to be odds on to leave then if we want a top quality overseas player.

I've got a feeling TP will become exempt next year because he will have done 3 years of service under a Kolpak passport, so he won't count either way.

So at the moment we need to replace jammer with a British player as we are at our full quota for next year.

If that's the case. The already extremely tough job of replacing Graham, just got a whole lot harder.

Not if TP becomes exempt which I think he will be.

It certainly does as the ain't any good British props available. I think of all the off contract players only Keith Mason is worth a shout.

Backrowsaint seems to think that TP will be off the quota(if he stays). If that's true then we've no option other than go to the NRL as we've got no young prop ready to step up.

I dont see anything on the rfl site that says anything about players being exempt after 3 years,this needs some looking into and clarification.

Chris Hill's doing the rumours, haven't seen him play though.

If its the case that we are going to be full on the quota then it certainly adds mileage to the Chris Hill rumours

Not exactly a great replacement for Graham though.

I doubt we will replace Graham.

We just need to find someone decent to fill the prop spot he leaves behind.

Is he applying for residency?

Your right about the two lists.

Quota

Perry
Soliola
Hohaia
Waterhouse

Non fed

Perry
Soliola
Hohaia
Waterhouse
Laffranchi

Meli's exempt from both lists, if Flannery stays he's only on your quota list and Paletua would only be on your non fed list.
