Quote: leedsrhinosforever "Congratulations on Nottingham for a good performance but I still cant work out why they were allowed to use players that have been playing semi-professional all season with Doncaster!!

Surely there needs to be a certain number of games players need to play before they can qualify for the play-offs. Is it fair to bring semi pro players in just for the play-offs!! I dont think so'"


Neither of the two players in question signed a contract, and they were at Doncaster for a maximum of 6 weeks. Get your facts right before you rant on a public message board. They'd both played at least 3 games for us before Donny came calling as well, so even then they'd qualify on the "players must have played 2 games during the regular season" rule. Going to Donny probably did the two lads more harm than sticking with the Outlaws tbh, as as least they might have been on a winning side during those 6 weeks.

Sing a song of Yorkshire, from the Humber to the Tees Of cricket, rugby, beer, of pudding and of cheese I know no other county where the land is quite so fine England's lovely county. And I'm proud to call it mine Where shining purple heather stretches far across the moor And the lapwing's cry above me takes the place of traffic roar And peace comes drifting gently, there's no place I'd rather be Than this land of hills and valleys, from the Pennines to the sea So when I've done my roaming, and when my step grows slow When heart and mind assure me that the time has come to go Then let me rest in Yorkshire, for its there I want to lie 'Neath sun and wind and heather... and a gleaming Yorkshire sky:12411.jpg



Quote: Marto "the rules state

[i14.15 Contracted professionals in either code of rugby league or union are deemed ineligible and by implication cannot be considered for selection in the Championship Play Offs by their recognised RLC National club. [/i

Which excludes anyone that's signed a pro contract. Some of the players that signed pro, were on amateur terms which would allow them to play.'"


I presume Richard Knight and Andy Boothroyd have been released from their respective contracts at York City Knights and Sheffield respectively. I could have sworn they both played this season for them? I think Andy Boothroyd played at Oldham as well this year.

Are they not classed as pro clubs?

So they both played for Huddersfield last weekend did they.

Surely this is not in the rules. There are certain teams making a mockery of the rules and the competition. What is the point of bringing in professionals apart from the obvious!! The people running this competition are a disgrace for letting the clubs get away with this!!

Nottingham have stuck rigidly to the rules!

Both players were cleared to play by the RLCN administration before they were allowed to pull on an Outlaws jersey

The 2 key aspects of the rules are

(1) players cannot sign for a RLCN club after the first Saturday in Sept. Both players met that criteria

(2) professionally contracted players cannot play in the play-offs. Both players had their professional contracts terminated by Doncaster and were removed of the RFL operations data base of contracted professionals.

By fulfilling the above Nottingham have done everything by the book.

As to whether this is fair? thats another point but please do not accuse Nottingham of cheating when they have followed the rules to the letter.

If you can exploit the rules like Nottingham and Huddersfield well good luck to them, its the people running the competition and making the rules which is the problem. If feathertsone rovers were not in the playoffs the lions would have tried to get some of their players to our club to strengthen us.

The thing I can't understand is that you don't have to play any games throughout the season but you can still qualify for the play-offs!!!
