Think there are certain deadlines within the competition, so it's more a matter of when the player is first registered with a club rather than whether he has previously played in the competition.

Shouldn't it be that you can only use players that are already at and playing for the club when the competition starts. By that I mean they must have already played a competitive game for their club when their club enters the Cup.

The nature of the deadlines for each round (or I think it's 1st Round, 3rd Round and 5th Round or summat like that) mean that a player would naturally have already played for their new club.

In the case of the players at Gateshead that is untrue. They have only played a couple of games, and these are since their club had already played twice in the Cup.

whats the betting that Gateshead become Newcastle or Edinburgh/Glasgow before the next SL francise!!!!!!!!

You are 12 months late! They've been talking about moving to Newcastle for ages and that's one step nearer Edinburgh for them. It's obvious.

Actually, they're going to merge many Scottish/NE places to form one super club: GENITALS RLFC.

Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Inverness, Twatt, Aberdeen, Lothian and Stirlingshire.

Up the Genitals !!!!
