No i got it in a reply from Graig Spence at the RFL. I'd heard they were thinking of changing the rule so i e-mailed him 3 times before this reply which seems to be a generic one which has gone out to people.

Semi would be non fed trained as he is fiji? ie the old kolpak..morriosn and jefferies would still be classed as overseas trained..evans would be classed as welsh? non fed trained even tho from overseas but cos of ancestry he qualifies.



We could get semi off of our quota we can have 8 non fed trained inc 5 overseas quota..

if we resigned morrison/menzies/jefferies with nero and hall we would be upto our quota we could tho sign 3 non fed trained who havent played over here since pre 2008..we could re sign evans and he wouldnt count as non fed trained.

Nero would count on the pre 2008 rule. He's been here awhile with hudds

I don't understand any of this.

Me neither its getting daft now.



Quota/Non-Fed trained? Whats the difference? Are we allowed different numbers of each? I'm really struggling with it.

Nero is overseas quota not non federation trained so he wouldnt count on the rule. Robbie paul would count as federation trained for salford but home grown for us.

I thought Nero had an EU passport, which exempted him from the quota.

Headache

Is Luke Skywalker federation trained or not?

No. He was trained by Yoda.





However, I think you'll find James Kirk is federation trained.



And that is the end of the today's geek references

Look we're all world citizens all this buggery about quotas is a load of nonsense, why don't we just get rid of so-called international RL contested by 2 teams and be proud of our club game with the world club challenge acquring extra rounds and more meaning.



No-one could stop Nero's world domination then, except perhaps his own rugby ability?
