The above guide is based on the 2019 RFL/SL ruling. It makes very little sense and I think that my head has exploded trying to apply the ruling to the current Leigh Team.
The main gist is you can have 5 Aussie or New Zealanders or 7 non-federated players. (non-feds are players who have not had 3 years training in a European Country prior to the age of 21. It appears that players with a British Passport are exempt, but for some reason Widdop (Warrington) is a non-fed.
Aekins could feasibly be dual Nationality, but O'Donnell would count as Overseas as he is unlikely to have a British Passport.
Ipape and McDonald are definitely Non-Fed (PNG) Nakubuwai (Fiji)
Inu (NZ) Ferguson (Aus) John Asiata (Aus) Stone (Aus) Hingano (NZ) Amone (Aus) Ioane (NZ) are all Overseas
The fact that they have played for multiple international teams (Tonga and Samoa) seems to be irrelevant because of being born in either Aus or NZ.
Residency seems to only affect your choice for International call ups.
Since 2019 we have unfortunately left the EU and the issue regarding Kolpak is further muddied. Kolpak Nations are (Fiji, Tonga, Samoa & Papua New Guinea). I am guessing that the rule now is a straight 7 Overseas.
Any the wiser? I am not - good luck Chezzy sorting this out.

I hope we can hold on to both Aekins and O’Donnell. They have both been very hard working and line breaking. Both look SL quality.

| Kai O’Donnell has been one of the best overseas signings Leigh have ever made.

| Agree that Kai has been a standout and Aekins gives me confidence at full back, so would very happily want both to sign for next season but if they are to return back home, I'd rather that than go to any other rival team.

| Adam Sidlow has confirmed in a Leigh Journal article that he wishes to stay at Leyth next season. He has been a real lead by example captain this year. Big minutes, barn storming runs, offloads near the line causing mayhem, and huge in defence. Could not have asked for more and very happy he wants to stay.
