Because it would then be confusing with, for instance, French players. They would either then count on the overseas list, which isn't helpful, or would be an anamoly in that they are from overseas yet don't count on the overseas list. The non-fed trained category is exactly what it says, players who weren't trained in the RLEF.

Absolutely
I don't see why the RFL can't publish on the SL website a list of the homegrown, fed trained and non-fed trained and quota players in each squad. Then everybody knows.
Additionally I don't see why individual clubs cant also do this on their own website.
