Awesome News. This is partly due to you guys watching the Legend Eric Perez's Canada RL Commentary on that site we can't mention or promote. Thanks guys..

To count as Home Grown they'd need to be registered with our academy for 3 years prior to their 21st birthday. I think. This would also allow them to count as Federation Trained, but I don't think it would exempt them from the Overseas Quota as Canadian residents have no automatic right to work in the UK.

I think the plan is to bring them over at 17/18 - therefore 3 years prior to their 21st.

I think this partnership is fantastic news, but the RFL need to maybe alter the quota rules for teams that are investing in scouting talent in this way. To get this game growing in other countries, then we need to be scouting in those countries, but with the quota rules in place, then it wont be practical.

Who is this Perez guy?

A bigger Hull fan than Wilf and Wolfie put together

I can't listen to that guy, sorry fellas! He just annoys me.

He is bloody marvellous
