I don't quite understand the Overseas and Fed non fed rules so can someone please clarify where we are in terms of recruitment for next year.

I work out with the 2 new overseas players already signed and its looking likely Seymour this ends our overseas recruitment providing we resign O Meeley and Moa, is this correct. This will also see Fitz and Hame leave.

Would be good if someone can clarify for us all.

i was wondering about this too, i'll have a guess...

IN: McKinnon, Heremaia and Seymour

OUT: Lauaki, Phelps and Fitz

Forgot about Phelps, well with 28 views and no response it seems we are all in the same boat.

Discussed at some length on this thread, currently lurking on Page 5... viewtopic.php?f=34&t=495826 Mild Rover provided a simple and accurate summary of our position next year [ibefore[/i the rumoured signing of Seymour... Quote ="Mild Rover"For Hull I think we can ignore quota, for simplicity. Non-fed for 2012: McKinnon, Heremaia, O'Meley (assuming he takes his option). Non-fed but ooc - Moa, Lauaki, Fitzgibbon, Phelps. A maximum of 2 of these can be retained. (Neither Manu Obst or Manu are non-fed).'" So at the moment the only confirmed overseas players for 2012 are McKinnon and Heremaia, leaving us with three spots. If we retain Ogre and Moa that would leave one, and if we sign Seymore that will be it.

Should really sticky something like this.

Cheers Kosh, that is pretty much what I thought, I am expecting Hull to hold on to O Meeley and Moa so just wanted to make sure if we signed Seymour we would then have to recruit English players.

Might be a good Idea as I can see more threads appearing off other posters asking for clarification.

Would be good if the notes put in the rumours thread could be added as they explain it quite well

I've included it in the Squad sticky.

Obst maybe be exempt off both next year

Getting a British passport? A quota spot without a non-fed partner would be of limited value though. And even if you could find a use for it, 8 overseas may even deny you the opportunity to give us grief over our reliance on imports!

it would be embarassing, agreed.

That or residency.

The only difference it would make is if we wanted to keep fitz not moa.

Or sign Galea.

How long was Manu here before he was exempt? Obst has been here since 05,so reckon FC may go down this route.

I always thought you had to be here for 4 years but Berrigan got it after 3.

Also,is it a pre 2008 rule? All these rules baffle me!

The pre 2008 rule gets you off the non fed list not the quota list.
