Yes, I was pleased when Wire took that approach a few years back. Now we have at least a couple of average overseas players there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Future is League Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I would still like to see a reduction in the amount of overseas players to develop British Talent and French talent as regards the Catalans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goughy Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I am sure there is a logic to it but how on earth does England international Rangi Chase count as an overseas player at Doncaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he hasn’t played for 3 years by the time he’s 21 in a RLEF nation. I understand your point but they’re the rules, which are designed to encourage home grown development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These rules were brought in to prevent players coming off the quota by qualifying for any European nation via a grandparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whippet13 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Leuluai somehow manages to be both an overseas and a NFT player for Wigan. Hamlin might well be gone from the Wigan list before the season is out, which would leave just 3 overall in both categories (Sammutt, Leuluai, Isa).

nadera78 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Of the five lads listed at London, one plays in the Academy and another the U16s. Remarkable to see so few senior foreign players - only Yates, Morgan and Ioane - playing for the club. "Just as we had been Cathars, we were treizistes, men apart."

ghost crayfish Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Looking at this list shows that the RFL could still put on a pretty good England v "Exiles" (###### name) or Rest of the World fixture, featuring Super League players only. In such a long season, I think some sort of mid year rep football is essential to add variety, create talking points and give players something else to play for. I'm not necessarily advocating for this over other options (such as tests against France or Wales), just saying... There ARE options. There's still a lot of very good, well credentialed overseas players in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they progress, then those 2 will end up off the quota in due course, once they’ve played for 3 years by the time they’re 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
