why hasn't smith said that then. Surely if that was the case warrington would dismiss anymore overseas signings with your very reason.

im sure i read somewhere that one of solomona and vinnie dont count on the quota

isnt it solomona because hes been in england for a long time now

Both Solomona and Vinnie were both trained overseas ,I think there was some sort of dispensation for certain players but that only lasted until they left the club they were at when the new rules came out ,hence why the pies are keeping certain players that in other years they would have got rid of ,I think thats what may be confusing a few people
on reading this I may be wrong ,maybe someone can con firm if Vinnie and Solomona are federation or overseas
SUPER LEAGUE CLUBS AGREE EXTENSION:

Tuesday 21st October 08

After consultation with engage Super League clubs at this week’s end of season meeting, the RFL board has approved an extension to a recent exemption to the club trained rules.

At the meeting held in Harrogate, engage Super League clubs unanimously agreed that the club trained rules should remain and that a number of players registered in the competition prior to the adoption of the club trained rules should count as federation trained players.

Clubs also agreed that any legal case brought against the RFL for introducing such rules should be defended vigorously.

Rod Findlay, the RFL’s in-house lawyer said: “The club trained rules were introduced at the start of the year to increase the number of home produced players in the top flight. Clubs are fully behind these rules and reaffirmed their support this week.

“What this extension does is accommodate those players who have made a career in the game before they were aware of the possibility of club trained rules. Long term once the people qualify for the current exemption retire the club trained rules will do what they were designed to do and that is bring through more home grown talent.”

To take advantage of the extension of the exemption a player must apply to the RFL to be ‘federation trained’ at the end of their current contract. They also must have registered with the RFL prior to 1 February 2008, the date when the club trained rules were introduced.

Their status as a federation trained will then apply throughout their career, even if they move clubs

Solo is classed as fed trained..if tadulala resigns with bradford hes clased as fed trained..chris nero next yr if he stays in sl will also be fed trained etc..theres loads knocking about now.

Moi Moi has just took two massive hits in the NRL Prelim Final and just got back up.

That enough info for you?

that'll do for an appetizer, i now want more meat. who is he signing for?

Nobody in Super League.

He didn`t half get banjoed a few times this morning in the game against the Bulldogs, the first hit i think from Hannant was a belter, Moi Moi is a top player though and just bounces back.

Had a brilliant game for Parramatta today.

If he signs my username is getting changed to Fire Fire Wire Wire.

Unfortunately I cannot see it happening.
