If that is true (I have no reason to doubt you) and I don't have time to check ATM then fair enough and I hold my hands up.
I knew that was the rule for those that signed before the changes but I wasn't aware it had been widened to everyone.

Every time this topic comes up people tell me I am wrong but I promise you I am not.

I have a full definition of what constitutes club trained, federation trained and quota provided by the RFL.

I have just checked...


As I say, I saw it suggested that it maybe had been, but that is this year's version of the operational rules.
The RFL still retains discretion to classify a player as club or fed-trained even if a player doesn't strictly qualify.

I know Pearce has gone back to Union, but strictly he'd have been non-fed. Although there is something called 'New Talent Pool status'. I guess Shaul will qualify as fed-trained, at least, as his Amateur club is part of the same federation? But, assuming this is only his second season on their books, he'd need a dispensation to remain club-trained. Jacob Miller will have been eligible for under-21 this year, so will, right now, be club-trained. Next year he'll be non-fed though. I lost the will to carry on as far as George Griffin.

B1:12B
The following definitions shall apply to Clause B1:12A above:
(a) „Club Trained Player‟: a player who has been on the Club‟s register for any 3 full Seasons before the end of the Season in which he ceases to be eligible by age to play at Under 21 level. For the avoidance of doubt, from the 2010 Season onwards a player must satisfy the requirement to have been on the Club‟s register for 3 full Seasons before being ineligible to play at Under 21 level in order to qualify as a „Club Trained Player‟ and the fact that he may have qualified as a „Club Trained Player‟ in the 2008 and/or 2009 Seasons shall be irrelevant.

This is the key paragraph.
Tyla Hepi doesn't fall into this catagory as he needed to be here 3 years BEFORE he turned 21.
BTW Bob this are not my words but the words of the RFL in their own rules.
