I can only assume that the fed trained rules apply to Kolpaks only and not to full EU passport holders.

Truth is I don't really know, but I can imagine that being the case.

It would be pretty pointless for the EU to bring in rules about enabling EU passport holders having the right to work all countries, if that could be overturned by some secondary subterfuge like 'fed trained' conditions being attached.

It's true to say it doesn't stop them being employed per se but it prevents them being employed in their normal profession as rugby players, so it's the same thing by the back door, however you look at it.

Ah, I thought he was talking about those wacky Crusaders and their nutty visa games

Someone posted on Facebook that because we signed Adam Henry before he was 21 he doesn't count.....I checked and he was 22 when he signed.

Plus I believe French players don't count as they are part of Super League (Catalan Dragons) where as Poland, Samoa, Tonga, Aus, NZ aren't.

Clarification off the Bulls Facebook page

FOR all those querying which of our 2015 squad members appear on the overseas quota, are non-federation trained, club trained or 'kolpak', we have moved to clarify things for you

Our Overseas Quota players include:
Jake Mullaney (Non-Federation Trained)
Adrian Purtell (Non-Federation Trained)
Karl Davies (Non-Federation Trained)
Mark Offerdahl (Non-Federation Trained)
Adam Henry (NOT Non-Federation Trained)

Our Non-Federation Trained players include:
Harry Siejka (Not on Overseas Quota)
Etu Uaisele (Not on Overseas Quota)
Chris Ulugia (Not on Overseas Quota)

In total, we have five players (maximum) on our Overseas Quota and seven players (maximum) on our Non-Federation Trained list.

Hopefully, that clears up any concerns you may or may not have.

Sounds to me like we need Martin to swing his boot of justice more often.

Re: Non-Fed rules : Tue Sep 23, 2014 10:42 am  

very nice email from Ryan btw. squad list edited to take Adam Henry out of non fed.

Anyway, now we can concentrate on the RAB sponsorship thread to see what we can do. Clearly club strategy is to get an influx of talent to match the facility, and I think its good for the recruits to see that if they go all the way that the fans could sponsor them.
