RFL "RELAX" RESTRICTIONS ON EXISTING OVERSEAS PLAYERS:

The RFL has now announced that clubs will be able to renew or extend the contracts of non-federation players who were signed before the rule was changed in June 2007.

Those players can be retained on top of the non-federation players that clubs are allowed, though the new dispensation will expire if players switch clubs or at the end of any contract extension.

SUPER LEAGUE CLUBS AGREE EXTENSION:

Tuesday 21st October 08

After consultation with engage Super League clubs at this week’s end of season meeting, the RFL board has approved an extension to a recent exemption to the club trained rules.

At the meeting held in Harrogate, engage Super League clubs unanimously agreed that the club trained rules should remain and that a number of players registered in the competition prior to the adoption of the club trained rules should count as federation trained players.

Clubs also agreed that any legal case brought against the RFL for introducing such rules should be defended vigorously.

Rod Findlay, the RFL’s in-house lawyer said: “The club trained rules were introduced at the start of the year to increase the number of home produced players in the top flight. Clubs are fully behind these rules and reaffirmed their support this week.

“What this extension does is accommodate those players who have made a career in the game before they were aware of the possibility of club trained rules. Long term once the people qualify for the current exemption retire the club trained rules will do what they were designed to do and that is bring through more home grown talent.”

To take advantage of the extension of the exemption a player must apply to the RFL to be ‘federation trained’ at the end of their current contract. They also must have registered with the RFL prior to 1 February 2008, the date when the club trained rules were introduced.

Their status as a federation trained will then apply throughout their career, even if they move clubs in the future.

Parker and Bracek are the wrong way round mate.

Whoops, thanks for that. Sorted now.

The thing that hits me when I look at the squad is the amount of orange - i.e. number of players out of contract. Should focus a few minds and/or provide lots of opportunity for change for 2010.

11 green (home grown) player
thats good junior development

and well within the quota rules.

17 including the coaching staff. Could we see a new breed for 2010?

Blimey that's a lot of OOC! Even the coaching setup! If next year isn't year of the Wire then surely it's 2010

Where has Jerram gone?

Thought he had been made part of the 1st team squad

He made one appearance in 2007. Wasn't in the initial 1st team squad for 2008 and hasn't made an appearance either, hence not currently included.

T'is what i said a few weeks ago but a few disagreed. Just be same people getting resigned.

i think he was at manchester metropolian
