If Moa develops and comes off the bench as an impact prop with Lauaki coming off the bench as an impact prop too, and Manu and Houghton also coming on for impact thats probably one of the most impactful benches in SL.
Especially if they come on for Cusack, O'Meley, Burnett/Fitzgibbon and Berrigan as that would be a great starting line up too.
HULL FC coach Richard Agar says the capture of Tongan prop Sam Moa will not signal the end of their player recruitment process.... But because he will fill Hull's final non-federation trained spot, the club are still in the hunt for a quota target.
I still get confused between quota and non-fed. Effectively though Moa will count on something wont he?

I did intend on sending KCFM an e-mail when Manu was on last Wed asking if he'd applied to be a fed player, but while been in a bit of a rush, I pressed save instead of send. I didn't realise until the show was over.

When I briefly read the rules it seemed to indicate a player can only apply for their exemption when their existing deal runs out. Manu is contracted to the end of next season

It's actually the opposite - they have to apply before their existing deal runs out. But having re-read the rule they can only apply during the final year of the contract AND the dispensation doesn't apply until the end of that contract year (November).
As Manu is contracted next season he WILL count as overseas until the end of his contract. For some reason I thought he was OOC at the end of this year, hence my earlier comment.
So that means we are up to our full compliment for next year already and there are no spaces for Tony/Moa/Cordoba/A N Other. If I've counted right...
Berrigan
Cusack
Manu
Lauaki
Fitzgibbon
O'Meley
6 O/S players which is the full allowance for 2010.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

Actually I meant that the dispensation/exemption could only begin following completion of the current contract which is the case. It's a poor system that benefits teams who have overseas players on short contracts
