The press says wakey are planning to sign Frank Winterstein.
This guy has played only 4/5 NRL games (so he is nowhere near the 50% RFL criteria) and there is no evidence of him playing for Samoa (being a squad member does not meet RFL criteria).
If this guy is to be allowed in then the RFL will have to give it their blessing.
The whole point of the rules is to ensure overseas players in SL have some proven quality. That we are not displacing British prospects with unproven overseas players.
The RFl should stick to their criteria and not allow Winterstein in.
This is not anti wakey. For eg I have no objection to Stosic being given the okay.

Don't the Home Office have their own criteria when it comes to granting work permits? (Something like "must have played certain %age of NRL / internationals?).

Under the old system, yes (provided that they could get a work permit).
The quota today is based on where a player was trained, not on their nationality. You could be an Australian and still be considered as a 'home trained' player. |

Think this may be the same Frankie playing for Samoa against England and scoring.
Think he also played for Samoa v Tonga Sept 2006. |

| Arn't we mixing up quotas and visa/work permits here.
If he has a Samoan Passport then doesn't he have a more or less automatic right of entry under the Kolpac agreement? Whether he has played enough NRL or international games would not matter.
The fact that he would count as a quota player is a different issue altogether, isn't it? Or have I missed something. |
