Josh McCrone
Darcy Lussick
Ryan Burroughs (Does he count as he is from the USA?) - where did he play his rugby up to 21?
Reni Maituai (French Canadian) - definitely non Fed trained

I get that as 9 non fed trained, with 7 allowed. Also isn't Emmitt classed as Australian now???

Burroughs doesn't count as Non-Fed for TW as he's American. Emmitt is Federation Trained (Saints) and didn't someone say Reni had left?

Burroughs is Non-Fed unless he played in a fed country between 16-20. One of the anomolies of the system that Rowley flagged when Jacks was released. Like Widdop also being non-fed if he was to play over here.

Cheeky!! He was hardly there long enough to unpack - if indeed he ever got there, en route to Toronto!

Like I said, Burroughs isn't classed as Non-Fed for TW as he's American, same goes for any Canadian, American or Jamaican player

The fact he's American is of no relevance to non-fed rule, it's which systems he came through and learned the game in that counts. I don't know enough about the player or his history to comment on that.

Canada and UK (And US I suspect) are members of same RL Federation, so have the same pool of players available that aren't part of their non-fed trained allowance.

The fact he is American plays a massive part - Section C1:4:2 of the Operational Rules state that Canadian/American/Jamaican don't count as Overseas players for TW

That's the overseas quota rule, not the non-fed trained rule. Like I say, I don't know if Burroughs counts as non-fed, my point was the fact he's American alone doesn't exempt him. I think the non-fed rule was brought in because of the number of Aussies coming over with EU passports.

Fair enough, although the fact there's so much discussion and confusion around the rules isn't exactly helpful

Re: QLT : Mon Apr 23, 2018 10:17 pm  

Burroughs is a true Yank and so non quota
