im sure brad is coaching the all golds.

How many times have we been through the quota non fed fed club trained malarkey

The rules seem to me as far to complicated, In my opinion We should only have qualified for any Great Britain side or overseas player & agree a limit on overseas numbers. If we want to encourage clubs to develop young players give salary cap adjustments or make clubs pay for recruiting from other clubs juniors regardless of being out of contract. If Tyla was born here or brought up & started his rugby career here he should be GB qualified.If he opts for his fathers country he should be classed as overseas. We have stupid examples like Dixon at Cas not being Fedaration trained as he came to Cas from union despite the fact he is from Hull & was in the junior set up at one of the citys teams. But expecting the RFL to do the simple & sensible thing is the problem.

I agree it is too complicated. However, they can't discriminate on basis of passport against those with EU or 'Kolpak/Cotonou' passports - it'd be illegal.
It is very hard for the RFL to implement a protectionist policy, either stopping overseas players coming in or homegrown players moving, as it flies in the face of laws based on free movement of labour.

They are not discriminating just laying down the rules of the competition if all clubs agree the rules they just don't employ non GB players. I agree you can't stop players moving on but you can make clubs pay for their training you just make players sign a bond for training, It is done in the aviation industry where traing cost's are prohibative (I am bonded for £15K for an engineering course if I leave before 4 years return of service I have to repay the cost's or the company I join has to & it is enforceable by law) If they choose to lay me off though I owe them nothing.

That would definately be discrimination, against non-GB-qualified players with EU or Kolpak passports and a legal right to work here.

RL competitions don't exist outside of the law. I know there are exceptions made - the registration system and so on. But that is why we have the faff of the non-fed rule - it is complicated out of necessity, because they're walking a very fine line.

The training bond is a very interesting idea - but we kind of have that anyway, with a small fee being payable when young players move clubs. Perhaps that could be beefed up.
