    Didn't the ARU give us grief because he played in the NPC, so they were saying he was ineligible?

    Yes, but I think that was to have him back in main squad, not EPS, not sure on EPS rules though.

    he was ineligible due to residency, he was considered a International Development player and we didn't want to waste that valuable spot on him given only the year before he was a "normal" player.

    But them rules always only apply to the Force - same as announcing contracts before ratification

    swane is just that.. no meaning, just part of his name... however poep has a couple of closely related meanings, depending on the nature of the conversation..

    it could mean someone who has done something silly.. or
    it could mean that he is a rear orifice not worthy of conversation

    "

    I thought the ARU have only advised that the squad #s are only 30 next year... are bumb ies special to have 5 more ?? or does this also include the EPS players as well ??

    read on and it says the fill the 2 spots left in the EPS. so yes the 35 includes the 5 EPS.

    Is there is actually confirmation that the Force were told he would occupy a development player spot? Can any one confirm if development players in your EPS squad count towards your development player spot?

    If the Force have been screwed I would ask for a big please explain form the ARU if I was management.
