It doesn't matter though, the quota rules are slowly tightening and we're seeing the number of foreigners decrease accross the board, Wigan too will fall into line as the ockers exempt from the quota because of being here beforehand get old and retire.

First time for everything, I guess!

So even assuming you get rid of all of Phelps/Feka/Bailey/Riddell you'll still have SEVEN players in your first choice 17 unavailable to play for England in 2011. Wow - that's awesome

p.s. we'll only have 3 players certain to be unavailable for England compared to your 7: Perry, Soliola and Puletua. Less than half. Even if we kept BOTH Flannery and Meli (unlikely) we'd still only have 5 compared to your 7.

Of the players you have released, Phelps and Feka weren't even first choice 17, but you've brought in 3 who certainly will be. So actually you have LESS spots for England eligible players in your 17 in 2011 than you had in 2010. Congratulations on the achievement.

Well if it means we're better than you next season as well as this then thats fine by me

We did better than you in one of the two competitions, and may yet do better in the second.

Not really, we both went out when we faced Leeds. Unless you see beating Batley in that round as an achievement.

Hopefully we will meet in the GF though!

Guys can we please keep this on topic. There are plenty of threads debating the overseas quota and how many foreigners Wigan have/haven't got in their squad. Besides they are far from Hull KR
