Do we get away with Mamo being from Malta or wherever it is he has heritage?

Re: 2019 Squad : Wed Nov 07, 2018 9:33 am  

What are the rules now with overseas players? how many are we allowed?

Re: 2019 Squad : Wed Nov 07, 2018 10:17 am  

We've got 5 spots, but ACP players don't count towards it, so we get Matagi (Samoa), Ukuma (Tonga) and Uate (Fiji) for free, as far as I'm aware.

That means our quota players are Rankin, Frawley and Seb. If Mamo signs, then that still leaves us with an extra spot (feel free to correct me on that as it's changed a lot over the years)

Current rules I believe are 7 Non Fed Trained spots, quota/Kolpak etc is irrelevent. So I'd imagine those players named take up your 7

So if Rankin leaves as rumored, we will have 1 spot available!

Could see Mamo as centre with Turner moving to loose forward. Bring in a quality overseas forward and I think we have a really strong squad.

Giants trying to offload Walne and Rankin desperately.

We are still after a forward with 1 quota spot left.

Are you sure Mamo has signed Jake?

I have it from a good source he's signed for another year. I do however hope he hes wrong.

And yes Leeds have enquiried about Seb but last I heard he was staying.

ikahihifo in pre season training at mo

we dont want to be losing him, we need some size in our forwards!!!

leeds after merrin anyway from oz.

as for mamo.. strange one sometimes he brilliant and sometimes awful and hardly plays due to injury so if he is to stay it will have to be on heavily reduced terms
