Think he has been doing the opposite of 'playing at home' so few things going wrong personally for him

Don’t think he’d failed anything then , kind of admitted he had a problem !

Whatever the issues are, I hope he gets himself right for him and his family

Certainly something going on with Talanoa.

I just hope if he does leave, we don't panic, we have decent wing cover and we could save his quota spot for a mid season signing.

Would be a big gamble to use a quota spot on the Fijan winger.

I agree about Talanoa something going on.
The club will sign Ratu end of the month

Kelly put a video of his arm in a sling on Instagram, hopefully just a precaution

The Fiji lads got a British passport and served in the British army so doesn't count on the quota

Are you saying he's got a British passport because he served in the British army, because he wouldn't need one (to serve in the British army).

Would he still be classed as non-fed trained making the passport issue irrelevant?

I guess you don't read my posts.

This is what I replied the last time you mention it...

Anyone given "New Talent Pool" status, can apply to be granted "Federation Trained" status.
Not guaranteed to be successful though.

In other words, we don't necessarily need to lose a non-fed trained player.

If Cas can get a salary cap dispensation, then anything can happen.
