Yeah your right here is the link what it says is, "The club don’t envisage overseas quotas being an issue at the end of the season." http://www.league.quins.co.uk/news/9676.php

But the club's own summary of the forum (can't find it at present) said that the quota would not be an issue for us next season.

I took that to mean 2 overseas players were out of contract anyway and could not be retained. QED

The issue would be where we got adequate replacements - or do we have some players in the academy ready to step up

Quote from Gutterfax at the recent forum

Players:
We will need to drop 2 from our overseas quota next year (unless the goalposts move)

Wasn't what was said.

Hecks will be gone at the end of the season, very good when playing but doesn't play consistently enough to be retained on the quota, which is a real shame as i like him, hes always good to talk to after the match.

If I was to offload two it would be Dorn and Heckenberg. How long are people going to go on defending Dorn? Another terrible performance against Wakefield, you couldn't even call him a flat track bully as when he gets a flat track he's been useless then too.

Thanks Dave, I was trying to decide who's name I should get printed on my shirt, you have just made me settle on Luke Dorn.

The feeling I got about the quota players was that 2 quota players need to go, because of rule changes, but it's not a big problem for us because we have enough home grown players to cover them.

If I could keep 6 they would be Dorn, Williamson, Randall, Robinson, Temata and Howell

We may be allowed one more, and I might have forgot a big name, but that's just what I'm thinking at the moment.

Danny Sculthorpe is available at the end of the season (if not before).....he played well on Sunday against us. Could he do a job for us? If he has aspirations about playing for England he may well try to get a club up north, but Brian Mac has already got LMS picked.....
I'd take him on a 1 year contract
STATS:

DOB: 08/09/1979
Position: Prop forward
Previous clubs: Castleford Tigers (2006), Wigan Warriors (2002-05), Rochdale Hornets (1999-01), Warrington Wolves (1997-98), Leeds Rhinos (1996-97)
2008 appearances: 25 (SL), 2 (CC)
The prop forward has firmly established himself as a first choice forward within the Wildcats team since joining in 2007. He made 25 appearances for Wakefield last year, scoring one try. With the likes of James Stosic now on board at Belle Vue, Sculthorpe will be hoping to help lead the forward pack and make it a dominant attacking force.
Weight: 104kg
Height: 6' 3”

Yes, I'd be signing him up right away, as has been proved, you can get an England call up playing in London.

And "Dorn" will certainly be a lot cheaper than "McCarthy-Scarsbrook" too!
