Doesn't mean it doesn't exist - its absence could be exploited for cap dodging, I suppose. I don't think the HDM knows much more than the rest of us, tbh. The 'huffy' wording was the same as used when Dobson was de-registered, iirc.

I'm just putting an alternative POV out there.

FWIW my understanding is that it isn't anything to do with overseas/quota etc. it's purely about registering any player twice in the same season. As we know all players have to be registered by a club with the RFL to be allowed to play and the RFL don't normally register the same player twice for the same club in the same season.

The RFL wrote:OFFER OF RE-ENGAGEMENT – DEADLINE & MEANS OF DELIVERY
C1:3:3 If the Club elects to offer the Player terms of re-engagement the Club must make such offer
in writing on or before the Friday following the final round of regular matches in Super
League or Championship as appropriate. In order to comply with this rule the Club must
either:
(a) have posted the offer to the Player’s last known address by first class special delivery
post or an alternative service which provides for delivery on the next working day and
requires a signature on receipt in any case the offer must have been posted at least
the day before the deadline for receipt; or
(b) have handed the offer to the Player in person on or before the deadline for receipt in
which case the Player must sign a receipt.

In either case the Club shall retain the special delivery slip or the receipt.
Where a Club’s divisional status for the forthcoming season will not have been decided by
the Friday following the final round of regular matches in Super League or Championship as
appropriate the Club may make two offers of re-engagement one to cover each of the
divisions in which the Club may play the following Season and such offers must be made in
accordance with the deadlines and means of delivery as detailed above.
