Yep...that's the guy. Born in a town just south of Glasgow called Sydney

Where was he trained? Where was he born? Which academy system found him.......Aussies playing for the lesser RL nations is nothing new, but the RFL should lay down the law now.....from 2012.....regardless of caps for any country or if some crims granny once spilt a pint of Guinness, each club is allowed 5 non European BORN/Trained (5 years in underage/academy level) players.....otherwise, HK Globetrotters will continue to bend the rules and we may as well change the name of the game to English Northern Rugby League Union and stop bothering to get hammered by Australia every year.

As you well know the RFL cannot enforce that kind of law , it amounts to a restriction of trade

Maybe if they had done that , then the Celtic Crusaders wouldn't have got into trouble for fielding players with the wrong Visa's [ players they still have not paid wages due to apparently ]

You mention players ' originality ' , well the Crusaders were quite happy to claim Anthony Blackwood and Niel Budworth as ' Welsh ' despite both being from W1gan and one of them the product of Leigh Centurions Academy

It is all right them bringing in rules and regs , as long as they apply to all clubs equally and evenly , but they dont , the RFL are the organisation that advised the Celtic Crusaders on the Visa requirements for the players they signed , simple as

Restriction of Trade.....maybe.

The RFL do have one weapon that they can use though to persuade clubs to play the game the way they want with the correct number of overseas players they want......it's called Licencing.
If they Kick out HKA ....they don't have to give a reason....it's their comp...they can do as they like.....People could assume that it was because of overseas players.....but it would be impossible to prove......but I bet you the 14 left standing would get the message.

Not to Hull Kingston Australians....but hey, what is it they say about omlettes and breaking eggs

Quins fan advocates kicking another club out of SL on the basis of too many overseas players! You couldn't make it up.

Make what up?
New Quota rules for a club in its 128th year struggling to find 25 local lads to play for them? Feeling the need to pay 10 overseas players a wage in the pursuit of your better and bigger neighbours? Thinking that slapping a coat of paint on the turd that is Caravan Park makes it a state of the art stadium?


If you're looking for irony....I suggest you look at some of the posts from HKR fans regarding their herritage, history, RL running through their veins and other b0llox....and ask yourself why your club can't find 25 players from the 45,000,000 travelling fans you have...now that really is irony

There's even one HKA poster who won't visit Harlequins RL on principle.....but bending the rules as HKA are...that's OK

lol at a Quins fan telling anyone how to run their club, even Blackpool would refuse to take advice from the continual car crash that is london RL.

The only club with no debts in Superleague (including overdrafts)
Playing in a Rugby only stadium that is voted one of the best to visit by fans from other clubs
A matchday experience that is only let down by the lack of people there.
An award winning community programme
Academy teams and under age teams developing nicely with cockneys now being signed by big clubs like St Helens and Hull FC
The most English Squad in SL........
....YEP, we do lack fans, of that there is no doubt,............. but a club playing out of a turd of a ground, with a team packed full of overseas talent, minimal youth/academy activity and a chairman who is getting twitchy about his level of investment for no return could maybe learn a couple of things....like geting fans to behave themselves, staying off the pitch, learning to count (you have the 5th largest away following in SL as far as London are concerned after Leeds, Saints, Wigan and Bradford)...etc.

Harlequins Rugby League came into existance in 2006........a year later HKR joined SL..........one club play in a RL heartland, the other in the South East....which one should have more local talent in its squad?

2006! This latest incarnation is really lasting well.

God you are so hypocritical it's untrue.

Never forget your roots GF.

Hey and how are those season pass sales going?

5hit team
no fans
no money
no interest
whored to RU
yep a real proud member of the RL family!
