Quote: Bulliac "That's interesting as, so we were told at the time, his exemption was only for the first contract after leaving Crusaders. In fact, IIRC we originally only signed him on a one year deal before the exemption was announced and we wondered how we'd go on when we re-signed him. Let's hope it's true, the news would certainly get a cheer from me!'"
The original exemptions were supposed to be for duration of first contract after players left crusaders. As we were then able to extend sammuts contract without him taking a quota spot and his seeming not to count on wakefields quota either suspect the ex crusaders players were actually given permanent exemptions. Are any others still playing and do they count on their clubs quotas?
