So it simply says 5 and it also says that if a player has a passport for an EU country they wont count. Adds more confusion.

Interestingly it also says you can register 40 players not the 25 mentioned earlier on by someone.

I love the use of the term "For the avoidance of doubt..."



Reading those rules they seem as clear as mud

At least they acknowledge that there may be doubt, dont see how they help avoid it though!!

Well reading that it seems like the whole contract re-negotiation thing is red-herring? In order to not count as an overseas player you must have been resident in this country for at least 270 days a year for the last 5 years. Manu came over in 2006 so will not come off the quota even if we renew his contract early.

Unless I'm missing something?

Interesting the bit about loans to players, KR fall foul of that with Cooke!

It also mentions something in there about 4 years too. There is also the risk that the RFL have made significant amendments to this doc but not updated their website. I cant see it mention fed v non fed and quota etc. It simply says quota of 5. (there may be an 100 page appendix somewhere)

How come??

court/legal costs

Thought Hull paid those??

I was led to believe it was one of the issues behind his move, I guess we'll never know for sure.

It could have been written into his HKR contract, as per the operational rule C1:1:9



But like you say, we'll never know.
