Quote: Saddened! "I just love how deluded the Australian press are calling us British Super League giants.'"


I'm sorry, I really don't want to fall out with every Saints fan on here today, I was only on here to make positive comments about the new ground and if you signed Hilly from us!

But are you for real? Saints are massive, and are going to be even bigger next year in a great stadium with a set of young English players mixed with a few class overseas lads. Try being a Leigh fan for all your life mate and when you find yourself going 'YES! we beat Batley today' you might realise how lucky you are!

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40218.jpg

Oh, don't take Saddened! seriously. He's just having a bit of fun. icon_wink.gif

By the way, Leigh are outstanding this season. I've enjoyed watching them on Sky. I hope they get their mitts on some silverware this year!

Like I said on page 3...he's played for Italy. I've not got a problem with this, but if you accept Laffranchi as Italian, you can't slate Pat Richards for being Irish when he's actually got strong links to being Irish.

We are as good as I can remember at the moment, the problem being that if we do win silverwear it's in our interest to 'do a Widnes' and sell all of our best players and use that money to develop off the pitch. I just hope we've got some sort of plan in place to keep our players until the franchise bid in 2015.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif



Jes, stop guessing and go direct to the RFL.

C1:4 OVERSEAS PLAYERS
DEFINITION OF OVERSEAS PLAYER
C1:4:1 (a) An “overseas Player” is one who cannot produce satisfactory evidence to the RFL that
he is a Professional Player in accordance with the EU Rules guaranteeing the free
movement of workers and that either:
(i) he is an EU National; or
(ii) he is entitled to be lawfully employed in England as a professional rugby league
player pursuant to a valid work permit and is a National of a country which is party
to either an Association Agreement, Europe Agreement or the Cotonou Agreement
with the EU; or
(iii) that he is a National of a country which is a current Full or Associate Member of
the RLEF and has been resident in that country for four years and is a bona fide
registered player who has played a minimum of five domestic league or cup games
in a domestic competition in that Full or Associate Member’s country.
For the avoidance of doubt a National is defined as a person who holds a current passport for an EU
member state or a country party to an Association Agreement, Europe Agreement or the Cotonou
Agreement as appropriate. Where a person claims to be a National of a country which does not issue
its own passports the RFL will review such a claim on a case by case basis but has no obligation to
decide whether a person is a National of such a country. In order to provide satisfactory evidence for
C1:4:1 (a) (iii) above the individual must hold and produce a relevant and current passport, the RLEF
member must provide records and testimony as to the player’s competition record and the RLEF must
certify that the information provided is correct and bona fide. The purpose of C1:4:1 (a) (iii) above is to
provide a performance pathway for talented players from the domestic competitions in RLEF Full or
Associate Member countries and in all matters of interpretation or judgement of this rule the RFL will
make decisions which are consistent with that purpose.
(b) Any Player who has, and who can prove to the RFL's satisfaction to have been, resident
in the EU for an aggregate of 270 days in each of five years prior to 31st December
2002 shall not be deemed an "overseas Player". For the avoidance of doubt, any
exceptions previously granted under this Operational Rule shall remain in force for the
remainder of the Player's career.

I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg



Not just knocking this signing, but these Aussies must think we are such an easy touch and most teams are the same, aged 31 and talk of a three year deal? on Big Money, which they need with the current exchange rate??

Surely not a 3 year deal a 31 year old? Who's had a fair few injury problems.
