[quote="Hullrealist":2irn4oa8]I believe he played for dewsberry for a year or two when he was over here so qualifies under the same loophole as Lam[/quote:2irn4oa8] Anything in this rumour or just a random example?

[quote="mwindass":81litp5b]Someone mentioned Kade Dykes a few pages back as someone who wouldn't count as quota. He's more of a full back but has played 6. Has a history of knee issues too just like his dad....[/quote:81litp5b] 1 year in the UK when he was about 6 years old? My sympathies go to whoever would have interpret / rewrite the rule if that happened!

[quote="Sebasteeno":105y5tnk]With Abdul gone that not only frees up a load of cash but also a marquee spot too. Now need another half for deffo as Charles showed last season he's not ready yet by a long way - wouldn't go for Sneyd. This could really work out really well for the club[/quote:105y5tnk] frees up a marquee spot but only £50k on the cap which will be restrictive unless anyone knows of a half back who came through our academy and would command marquee money?

Wonder how much junior RL they played over here

[/quote:u70pn7w0] We could still in theory move Jordan Lane (eg) onto the marquee spot even if he's only earning £70k. It would free up an extra 20k on the cap. I know it's really nothing much extra, but there is scope to put any home grown player on the marquee spot and as long as they're earning more than 50k we will get a bit of cap room back. But yeah, it's unlikely to lead to any significant signing, but there's not exactly any significant players available anyway.

Does the last marquee spot have to be a player who has come through our academy, I thought it was just a domestic signing, so in theory we could sign Sneyd and only 50k would count on the cap.
