Not sure if I am missing a trick or not with regards to next seasons overseas stars

1. Dallas
2. vaeleki
3. Moran
4. Seu Seu
5. Fletcher
6. Richards

Do any of these count as EU nationals because Mo has managed to find a passport or grandparent for them

Understand the Kolpak ruling but this would still leave us one over the quota.

We are also being linked with several other stars; Hooper, Orford, Gual...., Rahana etc

Are we then using the same qouta and cap rules as the rhinos

Dallas, Moran and Fletcher would be on the quota next season. I believe Galuavo and Richards would not count. However not sure where the Orford rumours come in - as three is the limit next season.

This would mean saying goodbye to Moran or Dallas??

As for Palea'aesina - is he Kolpak?

If we got Orford we wouldn't need Moran any more.

The lad is good but there are better out there and personally he could be matched by some uk players.
