They come off quota if there contract expires and they sign a new one, fi say dorn is on a 2 or 3 yr deal he will still count, it isnt everyone who comes off quota just those who have been here before that date and sign anew contract, saying that looks like even that isnt straight forward anymore ie martin moving from wakey to cas.

nearly right. kolpak players who were playing in superleague before feb 2007 can claim federation trained status when their current deal expires and they sign a new one. originally they had to re-sign for the same club but this has been changed and they can now take the fed trained status to a different club. This doesnt affect full quota players, they will stay full quota.

So Temata will not be on our quota list and we must find a Kolpac who is here from another club to pick up another decent overseas player who will move south.

Also due to being in England for 5 years, Dorn can claim residency and so gain British citizenship at the end of the year, which would free up another spot.

Theyve scrapped that rule as well.

Meaning he is not off quota?

Why not approach the RFL for a brief summery of the 'quota' rules including the 'exceptions' for Celtic & Dragons.

Yep.

the league express listed you at the start of the year as having no players with exemptions. If that can be changed or not i dont know.

That would not stand up in court if challenged.

Probably would as it is based upon where a player was trained rather than on the grounds of nationality. Also i believe it has been agreed by ALL clubs.

You can not deny someone the right to work if they have a valid work permit and have the required skills, putting artificial barriers in the way are no different to making a decision based on where they were born.



Until the Pies want to draft in another couple of second rate Aussies to replace decent youngsters.

The only law to preventing people working on the grounds of nationality is a european one which states anyone who has an EU passport is free to work anywhere in the EU without the need for a work permit.

The new quota rules are not based on nationality therfore do not breach that law. Anyone or club who wish to chalange that in a court of law cannot have the interests of rugby league in this country at heart

At least we had decent youngsters in the first place.

As BG says if an individual challenged this through the courts it would be unlikely to stand up. I was wondering if this might transpire with Rinaldi but it didn't.
