Jahmal Lolesi has signed a new two year contract according to the back page of the Examiner.

He says he has achieved all he wants to in Australia and is looking to achieve something over here.

Nathan Brown says that Jammer's future wasn't certain at the start of the season but it's just reward for his hard work and the improvements he's made is his game.

Aye I saw a piece in the Rugby League Weekly that seemed to indicate he'd signed on for another two years.

In a way I'm surprised at this news as I thought perhaps Browny would want to use the overseas spots to bring in players he knew from Down Under but he's obviously impressed Brown enough to convince him he's worth another couple of years.

Not seen too many of his big hits this season as yet.

Will we see Griff and one or two others signing up in the weeks to come?

interesting - i would have been sure Jammer would have been off at the end of this season to make way for fa'ailongo(sp?) oh well more competition for places is always good !

well done Jammer

Must admit I thought the same. The Examiner might be trying to nationalise him!

So, no more overseas 'stars' next season. Or will Fatz be offloaded?

Actually that raises an interesting point. Do we have space left for another next season now?

I'm not 100% on the rules for this, who counts and who doesn't, how many spots we can have etc...

Fa'Alogo will be coming in. Fulton will be going out.

We only have 3 overseas at present:

Fulton
Lolesi
Fatz

Korki is Greek.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

brett ?
faiumu?

Oh aye. I thought I was missing someone!

Fulton will be replaced by Fa'Alogo and that will be it.

easy mistake - theyre only bit part players mate

Brett is signed until 2010
Faiumu is signed until 2010
Fulton is signed until 2009 (on loan)
Lolesi is signed until 2011
Whaturia is signed until 2010

Fa'Alogo is coming for 4 years!

Does anyone know what the quota rules are for next season? The RFL seem to change them every week. Are we still using the Non-federation/Federation trained plus homegrown rule they introduced before giving everyone exemptions?

Not sure on the accuracy.

Ta for that.

Ditto.

Faiumu has his court case at the end of the season and if that goes badly we will not see him again. I know its not the done thing to say at the moment given it is frowned upon by most to encourage the signing of overseas players but I am still hoping for one more landmark big name aussie, a real match winner!
