Probably just click bait all along.

That opens up a lot of possibilities for Mills

I think the quota cap is a different discussion. The cap isn’t increasing as it stands.

The change we may see from this is less nrl players coming at the tail end of their career for a pay day or past their prime but in place of that some talent that’s early 20’s who could be coming into their prime. That’s not a bad thing imo.

I have continually stated that investing In Crigglestone, Eastmoor, Normanton and Stanley, four solid clubs with facilities, is the way ahead. New players, new coaches, new fans etc, etc.
I agree with the above that we should be looking to reduce the quota. I am certain we would still follow our teams if there were just three instead of seven overseas players. A massive expenditure reduction as a bonus.
At Crigg, we are lucky this year to have Trinity legend JT and Mason Lino as a bonus of the Big Bopper being with us.
It’s simple, Trinity, please allocate players to the clubs to help and identify talent and save yourselves a fortune.

No relegation for 3 years? Not read that?!

I believe once you are in you are in for 3 years with IMG grading not being done again for 3 years.

I understood it was a yearly score using three year averages.

Most of the players come at the end of their careers are proven quality players. Most bring something to the comp.

I’ve no issue with those signings.

Bringing the young lads who are not getting a look in into the NRL (if they were they wouldn’t be coming) isn’t the way to go for me.

I appreciate it doesn’t increase the quota but it will increase significantly the numbers of players of lower quality.

You are correct, not sure where I got my interpretation from.

The point stands though, if you are in SL and doing the right things off the pitch it’s unlikely you are going to get relegated.

No relegation for 3 years? Where do you get that from?

See above…don’t actually know where I got that from but having read up it’s not the case, potentially a throw back to the franchise days in my head, but I am incorrect it’s an annual grading.

Think you're missing the point of this change in the rules, the RFL have actually approached the government because the UK is being priced out of the "quality NRL players" so are only picking up the last payday guys, if these younger players were getting regular NRL games, they also would demand a high price, that the UK clubs can't afford, therefore opening up the talent pot by removing the criteria for 1st grade/international appearances allows good decent young talent that could be used in the UK/Europe competitions makes sense.
However I do agree on your previous point that the quota numbers need to be reduce, down to 5 ASAP and as low as 3 makes sense.
Also I agree with Manuel's point, Trinity should be spending more time with local community clubs developing talent there as early as U8/9's and YJARL need to stop allowing teams to just pop up out of nowhere using some random facilities, just because there's been a fall out at there old club. Teams like Crigg, Easmoor, Stanley and Normaton spend £1000's a year to run their clubs and have done for a number of years. Stop all these phoenix clubs appearing and invest longterm not short term fix's.
