With Trent taking Kings spot and Anderson leaving do we have a spot for a NZ player to come in or do the rules change in 2012?

I'd say so. Doesn't mean you have to use it though. Doesn't even have to be a Kiwi, could be an Australian or a Hong Kongian or even a North Korean.



Hodgson, Waterhouse, Monaghan, Monaghan.

I dont think we need another one... we have a good squad with good cover in all positions (if ratchford is signed).... we also have alot of good young players pushing for first team rugby.

We don't necessarily need one, unlike other teams in SL we shouldn't depend on bringing someone over to 'fill' a quota spot. If the young British talent is good enough we should give them a chance. Rhys Evans being a prime example of this.



Generally players coming over here in their first year have struggled to settle whether due to injuries or coach disagreements, lifestyle. Cross and Perry this year.

Depends alot on who we could get and age etc.



Crazy to think we can have this team and have cap space.

Get a top quality number 9 to interchange with Monas maybe? I would of said front rower but we've signed Hilly. I'd also be inclined to mention a world class winger, but saying that maybe next year we should stick with what we've trained and trust in 1 of Williams, Evans and Riley? In all other positions, I don't feel we need anyone else as we've got plenty of quality and depth in each area.

How many more do you have leaving? Clarke and Higham?

Higham has another year

we should sell him cheap. We have money bags moran. He won't mind a knocking a few quid off. Like when Asda do the Whoops stickers. They're just happy to get rid of an inferior product. Don't mind about the reduced price.

Love the analogy, jd

Only get overseas if we need to as that quota space can then be carried over to the following year.

Can it?



You are saying if a club has less than 5 overseas players, they can carry the quota over to the next season and sign 6?
