“My job is not to develop these players for other clubs, but to develop our squad, and I'd rather have Aussie lads who want to be here than northern lads who see us as a stepping stone."

Well said. eusa_clap.gif

I find these rules so confusing. Dorn has been here so long he could apply for residency surely? He could make himself off quota could he not...?

Luke Dorn is an Australian whom could apply to be a British Citizen as he has been here five years, but to the best of my knowledge he has not applied. He has an exemption from the non-federation trained register following an agreement between Super League chairmen back in 2008, whom decided existing players before the regulations could not be effectively penalized.... as they would sue!

13 southerners is very good. It is nice to see the development of the game in the south. This is the reason our game needs a London club.

Might as well release Howell if he's not going to be considered and takes up a quota place.

I thought that loophole was closed a few years back? Maybe it still applies if you marry a British partner? As you say, it's confusing.

I like the balance of the squad as listed by MR: 16 English and 9 Aussies, but 14 out of the 16 have come through our own ranks or been discovered locally. As long as we're developing our own talent I don't really care whether we bolster the team with Northerners or Aussies, just bring in the best people we can.

Fully agree...would rather have players no matter what nationality play for London because they want to play for us...not use us as somewhere to gain experience before heading back up north.

I was always in the thought group that we need all English players in order to give us an identity and fan base...but look at teams like Arsenal et al....they've kept and grown a fan base with predominantly foreign squads.

I back the English national team....but also our club....and I think in the time when our young London kids are developing, they need a winning culture to come into in order to develop. I'd be worried though if we chose a foreign player over a London player of the same quality though.

Streetboy - if you are the Tim Street who is the author of that piece can I point out to you that this Saturday is not our last home game. We have Saints at the Stoop on Sept 10th.

Your squad seems to be shaping up quite nicely for next year, certainly your 1, 6 and 7 partnership will do very well for you if they can all gel. Kaufusi is a great signing IMO, he's a battering ram to say the least. Dan Sarginson seems to be playing out of his skin whenever I've seen you play.

However, looking at the squad listed at the top of the page you may really struggle for depth if you pick up a couple of knocks, I don't know a few of the names on the list so couldn't comment on them but outside of your 'senior' players' there doesn't seem to be much talent.

With the squad you have assembled I see no reason why you shouldn't be on the fringe of the play off's providing everybody is firing and you can keep them fit. I hope you do, a strong Harlequins (or whatever you may be called!) is only a good thing for English RL.

I think there will be a good couple more purchases/promotions to senior squad.

Rob Powell etc have stated that lack of depth has been one of the major issues with this season. We're aiming to have a far larger squad to pick from, so that we aren't reliant on loan signings.

The "Signings/Rumours" thread on VT has a team made up entirely of OOC players for next season....I would try and snap up a couple of them -

Jon Clarke - we need a proper hooker
Andy Coley - decent prop
Ewan Dowes - decent hardworking prop
Chev Walker - centre...could be a good buy if he can avoid broken bones!

All are English...so off Quota, would be interesting to see if they'd be interested in living in a big city like London!

Do you mean the Jon Clarke who learnt his trade as a Bronco at Charlton then went on to make a name for himself at Warrington? I thought he was a good player but the club didn't - hence another player who made a name for themself after leaving us.

Out of those 4, I would only bother with Coley, who would be a good aquisition.

He made quite a name for himself at Wigan before joining the Broncos. Then he had a bit of a legal issue to deal with and, on release from Her Majesty's accommodation, probably thought it wise to get a few hundred miles away from his former haunts for a time.

He was an OK hooker but I wouldn't want to sign him now.
