How does Adam Henry qualify to be NOT non-federation trained? He's over 21 and has not played here for 3 seasons. Or have these qualifiers been changed without it being publicised?
from the operational rules;
"Federation Trained Player’: a player who, for any 3 full Seasons [before the end of the Season in which he ceases to be eligible by age to play at Under 21 level has been on one of the Club’s register or the register of another Club being a member of the same rugby league Federation. "Although the rfl do write a bit of wriggle room in (and BTW how badly is this written? Thats one sentence that is;)
The Board shall have the discretion to declare that a Player qualifies as a ‘Club Trained Player’ or a ‘Federation Trained Player’ notwithstanding that the player does not satisfy strictly the definition where in the Board’s absolute discretion the Board is satisfied that the player satisfies the spirit of the definition or considers that in view of the circumstances relevant to that case it is appropriate to declare that a Player qualifies as a ‘Club Trained Player’ or a ‘Federation Trained Player’ and in particular shall take into account in relation to ‘Federation Trained Player’ any time registered with a Member Club of a member organisation of the relevant Federation, and in relation to ‘Club Trained Player’ time registered on loan with a Member Club of the relevant Federation or a Member Club of a member organisation of the relevant Federation. The burden of establishing such circumstances is strictly on the individual player. 
I have no idea, but well done to the club for answering and well done to the people asking.
