Looking at the way Harris goes about his business - outside of the headline grabbing Locke - Dobson signings- he has operated below the radar bringing in undervalued &/or championship players.
+ most of the best up & coming forwards have also been fetched out of the KPC + they'll be cheaper.
Much as I'd like Moi Moi or Vaivai. ( or anyone else so good they named them twice ..)I'd be just as happy if we went for a prospect with a good engine who would fit into the coaches new sysytem.

Although I'm not sure who our non-fed players are, I'm pretty sure Shannan McP was exempt because we signed him from Crusaders when the RFL were offering out such exemptions, and I don't think Francis Meli is classed as non-fed either because he's been over here so long. Assuming Tim Smith and Francis Meli leave at the end of the season, that still only frees up one non-fed spot.

Neither McPherson nor Meli take up a non-fed quota spot though, both are(were in Shannon's case) exempt.

Chase, Dobson, Tasi, Sau, Locke, Huaraki...assuming we keep all those that leaves one more spot! Mullaney, rapira and puletua haven't even left yet...

Is there any point too keeping Mullaney though? Evalds looks like a perfectly good full back, has the pace for the wings and you'd think could slot into the halves if injuries dictated. Let Mullaney go and there's another quota place.

We need to let Mullaney, Smith & one other go just to get down to quota next season.

That's assuming one of the players we've signed isn't exempt in some way, or that Rangi isn't. These exemptions make it difficult to work out who your non-fed players are. Things would be much clearer if there weren't any.

The only exemptions from the non-fed trained quota have been players that have bean here for aeons (meli for example) and the crusaders for their first post-crusaders contract only.

There will be no exemptions for us next season unless we decide to extend melis contract for some crazy reason.

League Express suggest Bradford may come in for Mullaney.

scrap that manuokafoa has signed for Widnes
