If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Frederick Douglas:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_30596.jpg

Leave the poor lass alone, at least she's finally grasped we can't have him.

TBF, I gave up on on trying to understand who we can and can't sign years ago. I just wait for either you or Obergruppenführer Mild Rover to turn up and either sanction or dismiss the signing.

I have a similar arrangement with Madame Kenco and accounts.

This is what I don't get sandy.
It really isn't that hard.

We can have 5 non-fed and 5 quota.
Quota=No right to work here.
Non-fed=not trained in the SL.
Players can be on 1 or both lists.

That is it yet some seemingly clever folks can't get their heads around it.

As an example avoiding exemption (Of which I can't see there being any more).
We have.

Non-fed
Mika
Paea
Burns
Paterson
Tuimavave

Right. It's Wednesday afternoon, I've got some incredibly dull reports to write, I've just cut my head, everyone else has gone out.

I'm going to make an effort to understand this thing!

So, that's five in total?

So, O'Hara and Withers get a Crusaders dispensation, Lovegrove we've done to death, I'm assuming Dobson doesn't count from him being at Catalans, but where does that leave blake Green (if he stays) and Tyla Hepi?

I think I have some sort of learning disability in this area.

Green is going to Wigan.

Tyla Hepi is under 21, and while he remains so is club-trained. If he fits in 3 years before he turns 21, he'll stay club-trained - dunno if he will, I'd presume so. Born in this country iirc.

I am aware of this as yet unnanounced signing, I was using it as clarification of five being the total.

Hepi is still a first team squad member, although hasn't played, so under twenty one doesn't count then?

Green must be going or no Burns.
For Hepi he is homegrown/exempt until he turns 21 if he has been at HKR for 3 years at that point he stays homegrown.

No Because that would mean we would have 7 in the non-fed list wouldn't it seeing as they were not trained here.

einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result:

Not sure on that one but if he does he comes off the quota list.
The non-fed list is the one that is full anyway.
