Hull KR sign Shannon McDonnell

Shannon McDonnell has signed a one year contract with Hull KR with an option for a further season .

Having a English passport he will not count on the quota .

No real surprise as it's been mooted ever since Sandercock took the reigns at Rovers .

By having a British passport is he making his self avaliable to play for England?
How many non British born players do rovers now have in their first team squad?

Dont know where McDonnell is making himself available for England .

non british born .... off the top of my head

Micheal Dobson ,Blake Green , Jake Webster , Mickey Paea , Constantine Mika , Ben Galea , Lincoln Withers , Ryan O'Hara , Shannon McDonnell , Joel Clinton , Rhys Lovegrove ................ so a few

Is it any wonder that England have trouble beating the Aussie's and Kiwi's when a Heartland club has so many overseas players.

I do think its a lot i agree . But like a lot of Superleague teams Rovers have found loop holes .

Lovegrove plays for Scotland , Withers and O'Hara dont count because of the Crusaders ruling , Galea will be on a Maltese passport and Dobson will qualify for England under residencey if England want him .

As far as i know we have a 1st team squad of 31 upto now having promoted 4 of the reserves for next season .
