Well the quota rules for 2011 are;

[*At least 8 home grown players.
[*No more than 5 quota players.
[*No more than 5 overseas trained players inc quota players.
[*Rest of squad to be from players trained within same federation.

[*Home grown players - any player still under 21 and/or has completed 3 years service with the same clubs academy set up.
[*Same federation - any player still under 21 and/or has completed 3 years service with other clubs academy set ups within UK (for UK SL clubs) or France (for Catalans etc)
[*Overseas quota players - as per current rules i.e. Anyone unable to prove origins within EU or Kolpak countries.
[*Overseas trained - any other overseas player (EU passport or Kolpak etc.)

Wigan have as quota - Phelps, Roberts, Bailey, Riddell, Leuluai
Overseas players not on quota are - Carmont, Richards, Hansen, Paleaaesina

Leuluai has been here for 6 years so could actually be off quota, Riddell is going home at the end of the season. So that's 2 quota spots Wigan will have.

Why not come along to the Supporters' Trust meeting tonight and ask Chris

Our next event will be on Wednesday 14th July 2010 in the Platinum Suite North Stand, Halliwell Jones Stadium, doors open at 6.45 for a 7.00pm start. We will be holding a Fans Forum at which our guests will be John Bastian, Chris Hicks John Clarke, Rhys Evans, Ben Evans, Gareth O'Brien and Ryan Shaw.

The theme for the night is how Squadbuilder is “Investing in Future Success" for Warrington Wolves. The event is free and open to all fans and it will give every one who attends an opportunity to find out how Squadbuilder helps with the development of junior players.

Leuluai has never been quota as he was in the UK for 3 years prior to his 21st birthday and is classed as federation trained.
Hansen is Wigan trained as he came through the academy from being fourteen years of age and has represented England at academy level.

Riddell, Feka, Phelps (definitely going) and probably Bailey will all leave at the end of the season.
That will free up overseas places and salary.

HTH

Great news about Hicks.

Old news i told everyone last weekend he was staying.

34 years of age next year. Do you think it's a problem having so many over 30's in the side for next season?
Off the top of my head Hicks, Solomona, Briers, Morley, King, Wood?, Hodgson, Clarke, Higham, Anderson?

It hasn't been a problem this year.

Let's hope it's not one year too many for Hicks at Warrington. He is a very good athlete so I see no reason why his final season won't be as good as his previous. But it is hard to look past the age factor.

The old ones are the best (quite literally) - Wigan fans seem obsessed with our players ages.
