Even if they were off quota there wouldn't be any space for both of them in the six overseas trained spots. Even if Evans hadn't been re-signed.

because of the new "Gene exemption" rules, players meeting certain criteria , i.e. being in the country long enough, can apply to become federation trained, Stanly Gene is the main example, but Willie Manu at Hull is also going through this process

Well if Manu can do it, having come to the country the same year as McGoldrick, surely Ryan can too?

Six contracted players :-

Sherwin to 2010
Sargent to 2010
Chase to 2010
Evans to 2011
Widders to 2011
McGoldrick to 2012

Do we have any quota places left for next year and does the number of imports per club reduce after the 2010 season ?

Thanks

Evans won't be quota

Manu is getting married next week. Don't know if that makes a difference.

Right as it were you were signing Martin and we were signing Evans in effect a straight swap for the want of a better description. Cas realised that they could not sign Martin because of the quota fair enough, but they had already decided to let Evans go so therefore what was the problem signing Martin. And finally if they cannot sign Martin how come they can resign Evans whats the difference maybe a Cas fan might know because it is certainly confusing to me

It s definatley a confusing situation. at the end of the day no one outside the clubs and there agent know exactley what went on, there was never any official anouncement made with regards to either player, so we dont know if they ever put pen to paper, or even if a deal was ever one and it was just silly rumours. Either way i think the matter will be put to bed as i would expect wakey to resign martin.

Maybe you're not as well informed as you think you are and no deal was ever on the cards.

More than just rumours but i guess we'll never know the full story, some back peddling by both clubs is in order and then we can move on.

At times both clubs seem to be run poorly.
