Isn't there a cap/quota dispensation for players coming from Union?

I don't think being in the British army gets him a uk passport, but Fiji's commonwealth links allow him to be in the army.

And any service overseas is counted in uk residency qualifications.

But he would still be classed as non fed trained and we don't have any of those spots left.

There is cap dispensation. Not sure on quota... One to watch I guess.

Anyone given "New Talent Pool" status, can apply to be granted "Federation Trained" status.
Not guaranteed to be successful though.

he is too good to play the season with Doncaster
I wouldnt be surprised to see him in a first team shirt for this coming season.he has the build for Rugby league,strong runner and we know he has pace.

Radford has suggested in the HDM that he might not be just a reserve player. Interesting comment. I suppose he could mean him playing for Doncaster.

Has anyone have any idea how old Naulago is?

I reckon the plan for Naulago is for him to learn the game playing reserve grade this year with possibly a spell at Doncaster. If he shows real developement than he may earn himself a first team contract for 2020 and beyond. But he ain't getting one at the moment based on a couple of months training and a friendly run out.

Widdop is signing


For Warrington from 2020

Brilliant signing for warrington and should RIP it up alongside Austin. Saints, wire, Wigan and Leeds all making use of the marquee player rule. I doubt we ever will

We need to make use of the Marquee rule to compete .
We seem to lack in the ability to attract Marquee talent.
It is no coincidence that the other Clubs mentioned have Aussie Coaches either . They will attract players.

Or is it more to do with the fact that we didn't have any room available currently or the position Radford would want to utilise such to sign a marquee player is already filled.

I think after this season we may well see this happen as there are a number of players who will be going leaving much more room not only in cap space but position wise to bring a player in that will add to the team to make it worth while using the marquee rule.

ellis was a better marquee signing than any recent signings by other clubs,we ll sign one if anyone becomes available in a position we become weak in.

In terms of signings . At the moment being a Hull FC fan, is like being the Kid outside the sweet shop. Looking in through the window, watching other sides sign quality “Marquee “ players !

I would only spend marquee money on a top player and probably who plays a pivotal position, in those areas we have some good quality.

I think if we struggle again Pearson will spend next year and bring a marquee player, I would go all out for Elliot Whitehead, if he fancies coming home, also keep an eye on Bateman, as these English players often get homesick and we will have some serious cap space to play with next year.

Kelly wont be far off marquee money, ability wise he is as good as those marquee players signed this year, we just need to keep him fit and focused.

We have signed someone for this season , who I don’t know ! Just that he’s a unit .

Where has this come from, not heard anything at all regarding this

Someone at the club

Big unit/someone at the club.

It's got to be Jordan Cox.

Big unit? More like big pudding if it's cox

This rumour has come from someone at the club he meant, not that the player is at the club

he is going to Doncaster

Thanks for explaining that

We really do need a big front row.
We are seriously short and will get overrun once again if we dont find someone.
Until Green and Bowden are match fit we will struggle.

Jordan cox. 1 year deal.
