just seen a post by Airlie on FB saying rovers are trying to get him off the quota and bring in 2 more Aussies, meaning a possible 10 Aussies in there matchday 17! (as things stand before players leaving ans suchlike) but surly the RFL have to take this into account when looking at licencing? where is the young talent going to come in if this is true?

If hes off quota we should go for him

i heard a rumour about that earlier in the season. nothing came of it. might of even seen it on here

if he is off quota i would have him tomorrow, a complete player and HKR always looked a better side with him in it

Why, If the rules arent broken?

if there going to keep bringing in Australians and then taking the off the quota when eligible and end up with 17 starting Austrailians would you agree with that?

its just my opinion that the SL could end up like the premier league if it was allowed to happen and every club did it.
i thought thats what the franchise system was about, to promote the youth to improve the national side in the long run
seems to me like rovers would b going against this

dont get me wrong, i have no problem at all with any player coming off the quota, its just i think there has to be some sort of limit to the amount of players that are in your side that was once on the quota

the easiest thing to do is say, where you were born is who you play for that and no where else, none of this residency malarky!!

Good point. It's ridiculous this none quota rule and I'm sorry but KR abuse it more than others. Every team has its selection of quota players but do we not get sick of hearing aussies better blah blah blah. I agree that at present they do improve our game but bringing more and more over and then eventually ' they become English ' and then bringing more aussies over isn't going to help our game develope. There should be a set amount per team allowed.

Residency is fine,provided you have not played for another country before

He signed new contract at rovers dint he ?

www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... ticle.html Ben G has signed a new contract yes, this reporting by the HDM is actually incorrect Ben isn't off the quota as such he is classed an "Non fed trained" which now frees up another place , which along with Newts gives us a couple more quota places.

Residency is not fine.
In fact its a kick in the stones for the young lads that ARE born and bred English!!.
That means eventually a club could field a team of aussies which does nothing but push our progress further back.

thats the point i was getting at. the whole franchise system "was" supposed to stop this and improve he english game from the grassroots up

100% agreed
