Goodwin and Mortimer replace Weston and Tonga as quota spots for next season as I see it, all other quota places are still contracted - hence the dilemma

Further dilemma being that burr will not be exempt next season

Langi has improved each game however, if we can retain our SL place Goodwin and Evans will be our centres next season with hopefully Clare outside of one them! I really like the proposition of that

Still don't get the Evans signing -No way is he better than Crooks, Brown or Langi.

Well when fit he gets in the wire side so he must have summat, and non-quota

Is the Kolpak situation relevant? Tried reading regs but totally confused. Tongans are kolpak (not sure why) and Vea and Langi are Tongan although born in Oz. Shame that RFL can't explain stuff - perhaps if we paid em more?

Think they count on the non fed quota.

Langi must stay for me, Club needs to find a way.

Is a Season long loan away to another Club still counted on quota ?

I've been told that Burr is off quota for the length of his contract due to the Bradford situation which is why we offered him a longer deal.

Good business if correct. Been a great signing.

Not that I'm aware of..But think 50% of their cap value will remain on the parent club cap.

I've asked many times what the exemption rules where for Burr. I maybe missing something,but pretty sure his initial contract was for 12 months,although the club stated he "originally signed a three year deal in January." Either way unless I've missed someone.

Quota..

Glenn Stewart
Mitch Brown
Daniel Mortimer
Bryson Goodwin
Lachlan Burr

Non fed

Atelea Vea
Samisoni Langi

If Burr is exempt for another two years,that leaves a quota spot available.

How about Cory Paterson?

Paterson signed on a 3 year deal until November 2018.

Thank you!

He holds a British Passport.

Still non-fed.

The point being is the overseas quota isn't full if Burr is exempt. Unless someone else takes a quota spot up such as Vea.

Doesn't really matter, you can still only have 7 (or 8 including Burr this year) players that didn't play in Northern hemisphere between 16-21.

So far we have Paterson, Drinkwater, Stewart, Brown, Vea, Mortimer, Langi and Burr as our allowed overseas non-fed players.

One will have to make way for Goodwin. If Burr's exemption is only for initial 12 months, then someone else will also have to make way.

I suspect there will be one or two departures, but that's a discussion for when the season ends...

Stewart has been a let down for the majority of his time with us. So for me it's got to be him

Two have already made way- Weston and Tonga. Mortimer and Goodwin their contracted replacements for next season. If we keep Burr (no exemption for next year as I understand it) and Langi 2 of the others will have to go

I can't see DB paying two contracts off which would still count on the cap.

Well that's my thoughts TBH, difficult dilemma- leave it to the experts to sort. Must spin their heads to be honest, SL survival the priority the target - then work on growing from there

Not really sure how difficult a dilemma it is.. They have Goodwin and Evans signed up,Burr and Langi are in the shop window..

The dilemma being, do the club want to sign either or both for next season - and if so how do they go about it. Unless they don't want any of em I don't see a simple solution, unless current quota players "retire" for example

The plan must have been none of them,or they wouldn't have signed Goodwin. Take nothing away from Langi he's been brought in to do a short term job and doing the business very well. But like it or not that spot is Goodwin's.

In my eyes the clubs plan is correct if Burr and Langi leave. Quota spots are full and it's time to start adding some British resources to back those spots up.
