Whatever! We had some schoolboy (16-18) setup before Deggsy scrapped it ( I seem to remember Lee Hansen's son was in the team).

They have promised to utilise all the marquee options for Season 2025:
Club-trained marquee players will count at £50,000 on the cap,
and federation-trained players will count at £100,000.
Other marquee players will count as £150,000 on the overall cap.

I am asking, does Frankie meet the criteria, because you can't just buy a club-trained marquee player.

If you want to quibble about reserves, academy etc. that is fine. It might be a moot point because I don't even know how much a player like Frankie would earn.

I’m not quibbling (as you put it) about anything. You can only have three marquees. What players cost on the cap comes down to age and the academy. Academy not reserves being the main school.

You can have 3 marquee signings, without a club trained player, as long as there is one federation trained one there. Our marquee this season are likely to be Lam (fed trained), Asiata and Moylan (non-fed)
