When was it changed and why

Before the season started. That's why we could get our current contingent here and 2 PNG Players. There was no big announcement about it though.

it maybe due to either Costigan or Weyman's partner isn't settled in uk, so i have heard. also the second signing from aus. it could be frank sau pritchard. who places second row just a thought

Sio, Samoan heritage doesn't count on the quota (which is still 5) but will count on the non federation trained allowance.

I hope it's Costigans wife, he's way too lazy, almost reached off season and he still hasn't got over his weight gain/loss of fitness from the last off season!! Scary

I hope Costigan is going nowhere. Best tackler at the club in the 17 years I've been watching.

I wouldn't have thought it would be Weymans partner, we were only talking in the club on Sunday about the players wives etc been happy here.
The general talk was that She ( Weymans partner) really likes it here and so does Costigan.

He's effective for 3 tackles of the set of 6, he makes a tackle and if he doesn't get a spot at square marker he'll stubbornly walk back in to the defensive line making the area around our ruck very vulnerable! Often seen him push his team-mates out of the square marker so he can get there!!!! So selfish and lazy it's pathetic when you get lads busting a nut out there. Drop him and bring back cox

Cox can only dream of half the career Costigan has had. You must go to different games to me as he has been a rock since April when he got match fit. He beat Hull's front row on his own at Easter.

Costigan for me has been one of our better players this season, we would miss him should he leave

Don't even remember saying cox will have have half the career costigan has had, just because he's been there and don't that doesn't mean he's still that good! So, don't you think he selfishly hogs square marker and walks back if he doesn't get his way making our ruck area vulnerable? Must agree with the tackling though, is a solid tackler when he can be bothered and would back him to smash anyone who runs at him.

We are interested in re-signing cory paterson,who is currently out injured,tearing the tendon out of his middle finger.The injury is usually a 3 month recovery time and his deal runs out with wests at the end of the season and rovers are keen to sign him,though wests would like him to stay.If you google "Ouch corys patersons gory injury" the details are there.

I'd stay well clear of Paterson if it were my call. He had a 3 year contract with us and soon buggered off, what's to stop the same thing happening again? Larroyer is a far better prospect, we need to push the boat out for Kev.

Agree,larroyer is the best 2nd row we have had since newton and can only improve.

Lol Cory Patto, Mr Lawson you are about a month too late and by the way we have had a change of coach since haha cory patto you do make me chuckle bro
