Quote: saint mully "I thought clubs were allowed only 5 Non-federation players which included Quota players so you can't have more than 5 anyway? It can't be 5 Quota players PLUS 5 Quotas, that would be a huge step back.
But I'm confused as to the Mason case, if you can only have 5 what does it matter whether he's got a Tongan passport and counts as Quota or not, he's Non-Fed trained anyway, surely he's not exempt from that as he's only just coing over? I presume the reason HKR currently have more than 5 is because of the players who they already had before the rules coming in being exempt. (the "Stanley Gene loophole"icon_wink.gif.'"
Well its looks like Ben Galea and Jake Webster are now both due to come off.
This wasn't how most people including the clubs understood it.
Now seeing as we now have exemptions on Lovegrove,Vella,Newton and Fisher with Galea and Webster now counting as well

we only have 4 that count on any lists those being Mason,Dobson,Clinton and Green.
Now to say that is idiotic is a massive understatement.
