Definitely a Radford type player

where was there any insult?

Darcy Lussick from Manly
Subject of big SL offer
Prop for Prop ?

He's qualified to play for England.

Doesn't get him past the quota though. Aren't we maxed out on quota and non-Fed players?

Yep, we have the full 7, 4 of which are OOC at the end of the season.


It’s only Non-Fed now, so passports/international eligibility no longer come into it, it’s all about where a player was trained as a youngster. French players like Miloudi for example are exempt as France is also part of the same Federation, the RLEF.

is Paea exempt?

Nope.

Our Non-Fed spots are Paea, Talanoa (OOC), Mini (OOC), Manu (OOC), Tuimavave, Kelly (OOC) and Faraimo.


You could be getting mixed up with the exemptions for any overseas players playing here before 2009 (IIRC), prior to the new rules being brought in. Louis Anderson I think is still exempt, as was Feka when he was playing.

There was also the Kolpak ruling, which allowed Pacific Islanders to come play over here off-quota. Some clubs even used Maltese passports to get players off-quota, as the Kolpak ruling covered EU countries.

Funnily enough I bumped into Lussick in Manly McDonalds and he asked if Hull would want him
Over a McFlurry I told him we would take him in a heartbeat
Now we’re seeing the fruit of that chat

If I Paypal you the money, could you take Cherry-Evans for a strawberry shake?
We might have an opening at half back next year.
