Quote Article="Article" Overseas Quota - A Beginner’s Guide '"
Was there ever an intermediate and/or advanced guide published or have they ever updated their release?
Quote Article="Article" For the first time ever, the RFL has published their Overseas Quota list.
The list discloses how each club, from Super League all the way down the League 1, uses their quota spots in their current squad. '"
Nothing in that article explains how a certain Championship club (Leyth) have had so many non-feds signed off by the RFL.
Quote Article="Article"….another dispensation recently added was the New Talent Pool. This means clubs are given dispensation on the salary cap if they bring in an athlete from another sport. As an example, Warrington were given dispensation on their quota to sign Burrell, so he does not count on their quota. '"
Try this one. Blake Ferguson is a well known Oz RL international but he signed (yes signed) up to play Union in Japan where he didn’t just stick to the sushi! Leigh therefore signed him from another sport. “New” talent?
Within the limits of the report - or the reporter’s judgement of how much thicko RL fans can capisce - yes he is!
Maybe there’s a new dispensation for club’s that have been barred from running an academy because Wigan & Saints don’t like the idea?
Decent find Sev, but agreed it explains nothing. All our overseas players have been granted work permits. Could the RFL be sued for denial of the right to ply trade.
Wonder what IMG will/do think.
