Wasn't the loophole with Kolpak countries closed with the introduction of the Federation Trained rules. Athough a Kolpak passport gets you off the overseas quota, they do count as non federation trained, of which you can only have 5.
Some players, who have been in Superleague a while (before 2008, I think) also have been granted federation trained status, so for us I think Nero, and possibly McGoldrick may have exemptions as they have been around long enough.
I'd Imagine for Wakefield, Lauititi has an exemption.

The reason I was unsure about McGoldrick is that, Australia is not a kolpak country, so even though he may qualify for non fed expempt he could still be overseas. I guess being in the UK since 2006 he probably has citizenship now though, which would take him off the overseas quota.
If Mcpherson is on the last season of current contract he will count if and when he signs another contract as the exemption only covered the first contract ....Hull KR have 2 in this boat at the moment in Withers and O Hara
