[quote="General Zod":s41gsnxs][size=84:s41gsnxs]Yeaman will be a Hull Kingston Rovers player in 2008 - [b:s41gsnxs]FACT[/b:s41gsnxs]...[/size:s41gsnxs][/quote:s41gsnxs]
[quote="Wiseman/Roverite/Degreed/Enlightened/League Junkie/Broad Paulerick/Big Spender/Feelgood/Always A Robin...!!":s41gsnxs]Like already stated [b:s41gsnxs]Yeaman will be a Rovers player next season.[/b:s41gsnxs] Think the giveaway is he says he is to concerned with on the field matters to discuss his future with the club at present. The article also discusses other East Hull lads at the KC and the possibility of them interesting Rovers, ie Craig Hall, Lee Radford, Richard Horne, Grahame Horne, and Danny Washbrook.[/quote:s41gsnxs]:22861.jpg |

| Quote: nick hkr "As posted on my new thread about these rulings the RFL cannot make this rule and use nationality as the reason behind it as that would be against the law.
The rules provide that you qualify (if at all) for club trained and/or federation trained status by the age of 21 – there is no possibility, therefore, of qualifying after that by having played rugby union in Australia and then moving to the UK as you mention. However, the aims and the rules make no reference to nationality and we would not be able to make rules that do so for legal reasons. If the aim is to encourage clubs to develop their own junior players, for the benefit of the individual players and the sport in general, then there may well be cases where British players are not considered club trained or federation trained for the very reason that they are not – the examples that you have raised are being trained in Australia or in another sport. Those examples go against the aim of the rules which is for clubs to train their own players.
Not a loophole to get him through, just using the rules for our advantage.'"
..and at the same time going against the SPIRIT of the game and what those rules were brought in for. Once again British talent loses out.  |

| Quote: nick hkr "So we can all accept that we have an Aussie coaching our Country, a south sea islander playing for our Country but when it comes to a British passport holder it stirs up a crazy debate like this!!!
He came when he was 20yrs old and spent 8mths at Rovers just 4mths short of classing him as a home grown player. Although eligable for the 21's (as it was at the time) he was too good and so played for the first team, I dont know if this has gone against him in the end but I think the only argument is that he didnt sign for us 4mths earlier which could/should have made him home grown.
Will the club argue this case to the RFL or will they just accept it and force one of Fisher, Fitzhenry or indeed Lovegrove to leave the club? I'm sure his new agent will sort him a good deal out and he'll be around in SL no matter who he's playing for.'"
Think he will go anyway, whether we keep Rhys is a different matter. If he can get back to full fitness and play like he has been doing he will be worth another contract, especially as he is only 22 ish and looks like becoming a very good prop. |
