So who is the replacement? Is it a secret?

Will be for now probably until finalised so no one else can come and pinch him

Right, so there is noone yet. I see.

The article in League Express said that the RFL have allowed Sammut to be classed as Federation Trained but he will remain on the overseas quota.Which means we can sign an overseas player who doesn't count on the quota. For example one who has the right to a British passport through ancestry or is exempt due to having a Pacific Island passport.

So we now need BJ's passport to come through to complete the other part of this irritating jigsaw of quota/fed/nonquota/nonfed.

Langley is a powerful 2nd rower, a competent loose forward and an abysmal centre (shudders). He should be able to cope with prop although I cannot remember being that impressed the once or twice he has played there before.

Don't think its a question of can Langley operate at prop?I like others believe he can. The question is how many games will he play in 2012? Probably not enough to be the replacement we need for Lynch..There-fore we need a replacement bringing in, hopefully one with some real quality and a a bit of mongrel..

I suppose the other option is to utilise Elima at Prop if/when Langley gets injured. If we intend using Walker in the 2nd row for 2012.

Would be funny if the replacement was Sam Burgess

Can't quite get my head around that "on the overseas quota" bit. the BBC article covering his signing for crusaders says that he has an EU passport, in which case he cannot be overseas, and now he is a Fed trained so off both quotas. so yes we can sign a Kolpak or EU nonfed player now, or an overseas nonfed player when BJ gets his passport.

Just pretty much typed what was in the article, not sure how accurate it is. The quota rules blag my head a bit, I think even the RFL make it up as they go.

Doesn't sound correct about sammut staying on overseas quota. He wasn't on it to start with. Think LE may have got it wrong and meant to put he will revert to non fed when his dispensation expires. If he is now on overseas quota then we have six players on quota til bjs passport arrives

Brent Kite's a Tongan international, dose that mean he's kolpac???

It stated that our quota players for next year would be Kearney, L'Estrange, Purtell, Lulia and Sammut with the club confident that BJ will soon obtain an English passport to take him off quota. With the exception of Sammut the other 4 above will also count as non-fed which would leave us with one non-fed spot left.
