He would be non fed

D/post sorry

Wouldn't it depend on what passport moa has?

Either way he's still Non-Fed.... His passport just dictates whether he's quota or not!!

Easiest way to work this out, add the quota and non fed together, so a max of 10, then give each player a point , so some players count as 2 points, some as only one

ie for us

Ogre - 2 points
Fitz - 2 points
Hame - 1 point
Moa - 1 point
Manu - 0 points

So we have room for 2 more , do we not

Unless Laurence Pearce counts?

As a Union convert i think Pearce would count but surely common sence should prevail given his age.

No mate, don't think so!! We've got 1 spot.

The best way for me to work it out is forget the quota. All aussies are classes as overseas trained (non-fed) and all tongans etc.. are non-fed trained.. Unless you get any over at the age of 18 (not likely) so they spend 3 yrs with you before their 21st birthday (that's the ONLY way they become FED-TRAINED)

The only thing that people seem to be getting confused about is that any player already here 'PRE 2008' are omitted from this ruling so if a club (Rovers for instance) have 4 non-fed players pre 08 then they are exempt from the system for the duration of their contract. When they are retired/transferred they instantly become Non-Fed and the club, Rovers, will not get the extra spot back. It will all level out in 2/3 yrs ish!!

That wont work because even though some count as two points, you can only have a max of 5 in any category.

I'd assume we have 2 Quota (ie Aussie/Kiwi) but 4 Non Fed, so in order to fit 2 or 3 more in we'd have to find at least 1 or 2 Quota players that are Fed Trained (or came under one of the assorted RFL sanctioned exemptions). Pearce may bring that down to having no Non Fed places left.

Pearce has beed trained in our Federation so shouldn't come into it!!

If hkr can get lovegrove dispensation why couldn't we for a player who could represent this country.

Do Queen Newton, Lovegrove and Vella all have EU Passports, then? (I assume Fisher does as he plays for Scotland.)

If not, given that dispensation can only be granted to remove Non-Fed status - [inot[/i Quota - why aren't they on the Quota list?
