well sammut didnt count on overseas quota for crusaders due to his maltese passport so dont see why he should count on ours.

I'm pretty certain it was stated when we signed him that he didnt count on overseas quota and only on non-fed pending clarification as to whether he qualified for dispensation. Cant find any mention of it in any online articles though. If he is on the quota now then we won't be able to register one off sammut,purtell or lulia until jeffries passport comes through ( assuming jeffries, kearney and l'estrange are all already registered for duration of their contracts.)

Do we have any chance of getting Lulia off the quota as he has played for the pacific islands? Willie Mason all over again!! lol

I thought that but someone checked with duffy a few weeks back and lulia doesnt have a cook islands passport so isnt covered by contanou agreement

That is how understand it but then again with so many loopholes

well heres one reference to him not counting on overseas quota for us. Certain there have been others too.

Plus there were Peter Hood's programe comments

Correct Mat. Lulia has an Aussie passport tho plays for Cook Islands due to parents/grandparents rule. Just as Withers had an Aussie passport and played for Ireland. Sammut supposedly has an EC passport being Maltese, same as Elima being French, hes not on quota though. So have the BBC got it wrong in their article or has Malta been thrown out of the EU? and Mat, bl**dy iphone again

Where does Morro fit into all this, hypothetically speaking could we sign him and a.n.other over seas prop ?
(we can assume BJ will get his passport eventually)

We could IF morro either gets a British passport or had signed for crusaders and gets a dispensation.

Brent Kite is the rumour on the Aussie boards and he classes as Kolpack apparently

Well that rumour was started by a Bulls fan so it could be wishful thinking. forums.leagueunlimited.com/showt ... p?t=392775

I cant understand all this fed trained, non fed, on quota off quota, kolpak nonsense and im sure the powers that be dont either hence the delays registering players. Surely it would be much simpler if they just said maximum 4/5 NON UK players. Simples

I like the complications it makes for interesting rumour mongering.

and pages and pages of Bullscat.
