Somewhere in the dust of time rest the bones of the Galilean
He who was spat upon. He whose face was marred beyond all human likeness
Somewhere buried among the lies of the past rests the tomb of Yeshua
Of he who was made God in a world without Hope.
And when this son of Joseph is found. What then will the Church of Rome say?
Prepare yourself for the day is coming. And men will say
"Blessed are the wasted lives who perished in the flames of the holy war"

No we have no free spaces. We have 7 quota players: Ta'ai, Symonds, Ikahihifo, Rankin, Mamo, Wakeman and Hinchcliffe. That's the maximum now. You can have 7 players who aren't Federation Trained or academy players in your squad. The current rules make no differentiation between Quota and non-federation trained anymore. So Mamo, Wakeman and Ta'ai still count. The only way we'll open a quota spot is if Symonds is released through injury.

Yeah I've heard different tales regarding Symonds recently. Heard he's in a similar position to Eorl where he isn't going to be 100% ever again and Stone would like him off the playing roster and maybe take up a coaching role.

Other hand someone told me he is fully recovered and waiting to rip into preseason so who knows??

Stone is interested in that Jack Stockwell who is a prop and we will only get him if a quota spot becomes available.

Maybe that a couple of good props become available if Catalan go down. Bousquet and Casty.... I'd take either of them.....do French players count on non fed?

Walne will do well for you i reckon. He’s a strange one tbh mostly absolutely terrible for the 3 years prior to this one and then actually very good this one.

As Wakeman has been selected for Italy in the World Cup - surely he shouldn't be on the quota?
