We know from the Mason saga that Galea is definitely a quota player and he certainly did not play in this country until his late twenties.
Of our 5 quota players (Dobson , Webster, Galea, Clinton, Green) I would have thought the only one who may be classed as federation trained is Dobson because he is the only one who played in our federation prior to the age of 21. He was 19 years old when he played for Catalans and then Wigan.
So our 5 non-federation trained players would be the same as the quota except add Mason and delete Dobson. Vella, Fisher, Newton and Lovegrove are all exempt from both lists due to having signed before these rules were introduced.
I am assuming of course that Mason's Tongan passport arrives and Dobson is then re-registered.
I maybe having a senior moment but didn;t Galea and Newton come over at the same time and as he's quota he becomes non fed as well..
Non-fed list: Clinton, Green, Mason (even when his passport arrives), (Dobson).

Why the need to have them on both lists it makes no sense. By being quota they are non fed anyway but you can be non fed and non quota (ie Mason when/if his passport arrives), so including quota players in both lists is misleading

I gave up even beginning to try understanding all this years ago.
I just let Mild Rover do it for me now, means he's got less time to clone sheep and turn people into vampires.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Actually you can be quota but count as federation trained - see Webster in MR's lists. And including players in both lists is essential to seeing how many vacant places you have left of each type. It's not as complicated as it seems, it's just that Rovers have some unusual cases in their squad.
