Think you should tell Chris Chester that! Just incase he does'nt read the forum

Funny thing is Chester has actually come out and said we are looking at players in the NRL which is the point Musson alludes to, there is obviously an option there to offload a current Quota player otherwise why would we be actively looking?

So yes, maybe someone should tell Chester because he seems to think it is a starter...

When I saw the name 'Latu', I thought Tevita might be on his way back ??

There is clearly something afoot, some loophole but what Mousebreath forgot to mention was what it might be.

Nobody on here seems to know.

The only options I can think of are, Tangata somehow doesn't count, someone is leaving but won't until they can be replaced, we do have a Toronto player lined up or we have a marquee signing lined up. Take your pic.

I believe that Chester said this in previous interviews but it’s not unusual for clubs to be monitoring players in the NRL and SL who are or may become of interest.

There’s a difference between looking at players and having the space to sign them however.

For this topic and latu we should steer well clear whether it’s an option or not. Red danger signs all around this one with recent history.

To the best of my knowledge we have never been able to spend the full quoter on our squad, so with no money coming through the gate in almost a year , it would be very unlikely we could ever dream of signing a marquee player this season at least.

Agree entirely but a quote from Chezzie in today's Wakey Express...." We know we are in a strong position if something (...someone??) becomes available. We will just see what happens".
So the money is clearly there, but we don't have a free quota spot at the moment...strange !!

He must have something up his sleeve or we would'nt be looking.

Yeah, he is looking in the NRL, in his latest interview he says he is waiting for the NRL to start to see which player become available, I am not too sure why we would be looking if we didn`t have the space to sign them? As Vasty points out it`s either some loophole we have in the quota or we have an option in our back pocket to move a current quota player on, either way I can`t see us looking without knowing that we can actually bring someone in.

Re Latu, I get what you are saying but I don`t think it`s always that simple, apparently Price never wanted the club to sign him in the first place, so he never really was part of the plan for him from the off. There could be a deal to be done that provides good value to the club with Latu, that said, I am sure there will be better options out there somewhere (Hopefully).

Of signing a British player from the NRL

Or it's a bluff in order to get another player to sign for a lower contract.

Well that just about covers it vast bum

It always makes he laugh how easily you lose it lol

Read the article in the link, that pretty much covers it

To simplify for you though, Chester has said we are looking for players in the nrl

Where the quota room comes from is irrelevant
The club obviously have a plan or they wouldn’t be looking

You haven’t answered the question, your just rather pathetically parroting another poster.

The OP stated Latu as a possible signing, then you step in and link us all to said article.

So let’s simplify it for you shall we, if we were to sign Latu how would we do it, that was the issue, something you’ve failed to answer as I knew you would.

The YP article is just a side show and you’re now choosing to twist it to get yourself out of a hole.

So cut the bull and answer the question big mouth,
H O W A R E W E GOING. TO F I T. A. PLAYER WITHIN. THE. QUOTA?

That’s this season not some mythical future season.

Clear enough?

Locking it.
This really isn't important enough a subject to start name calling and piling on from others either.

I'll have to start giving people a rest if we keep baiting each other.
