He did sign for Toulouse, but has since left. Good player, should be in Super League really!

Never signed for Toulouse. He's playing Queensland Cup footy. For whom, I can't quite recall

Check that. Yes I can. Sunshine Coast Sea Eagles

Sad loss for Quins. A match winner on his day.

He left due to an RFL/Quins mix up with this overseas player rule. By the time it was discovered he could stay we had signed Kaye from Leeds making Rinaldi not required

Never signed for Toulouse, has signed for the sunshine coast eagles, who are Manlys feeder team.

I belive his wife is Australian too so maybe that had a bearing on him staying over there

Shocking incompetence by Quins management. He was a great asset to the club. He could also cover scrum half.

I believe the mix up was more on the RFL's part. By the time they'd changed their minds and changed the rules we'd already decided to go with Ben Kaye.

The Quins owed it to Julien Rinaldi to keep him, given his sterling performances for the club over the years.

If a contract had not already been signed then I would rather have disappointed Kaye than Rinaldi.
