This is where the club needs to get a lot smarter, Catalan had the chance to keep him and early performances were promising but decided not to. Rovers of course had already loaned him out. We should have read the signs.

You can definitely have 2 marquee overseas players, we have two for certain.

You can have 2 x overseas marquees, it's the 3rd one that needs to be 'British'

Shows the salary cap rules are now clear as mud and I guarantee the geniuses at the RFL aren't on the ball with it either

My thinking is he'll end up in the NRL soon. And Rovers will have first refusal if he comes back here. If he comes to us it'll be towards the end of his career.

Agreed, was a poor signing and 3 years was just ludicrous.

The figures are right though, 100k for Sneyd compared ti 50k for Abdul.

Either way Sneyd wouldn’t count as 50k player

There is a specific dispensation for one academy player though isn’t there?

Either way we might have wealthy owners but the money McNichol has ploughed into Rovers for seemingly no financial return is huge in RL terms like it or not they’ll be able to match or better any Hull offer. There’s absolutely no way Lewis joins Hull when he’s contracted until 2028. That is one move that’s certainly won’t happen regardless of marquee status. Even in an NRL scenario Rovers will have stipulations ensuring he rejoins them if they did let him go early.

I thought you were allowed 2 marquees? ie Rapana and Asiata.

Posted the link for this on an earlier post but just for clarification:

This was last years update. Has anything changed for the 2025 season?

Sorry already clarified.
