Rules for Domestic Transfers from other UK clubs outside the Premiership

1. All domestic transfers need to state (i) full name of player (ii) club signing from and (iii) the initial bidding price.

2. The bid will be accepted/rejected after 24hours.

3. However, if a player is dual-registered the player whose club he is dual registered with will automatically get the opportunity to call that player up into their academy. They will have 48 hours after the initial bid to declare that this is what they are doing. The player must be named in their academy and if they are over the 20 player limit they will have to remove a player from the academy.

4. If this is not done within 48 hours of the original bid being accepted then they will not be entitled to have that player in their academy.

5. There will also be a premium rate for players that move clubs in this way, with a minimum of £1m being paid to the club that loses its academy prospect by means of compensation. This figure will be decided by the person responsible for domestic transfers.

6. If a young player is signed from a rugby league club they will NOT then form part of your own academy unless they are under 18. If you would like an over 18 year old to join your club you must bid from them in the same way you would do a Championship player.

Only change I've done recently is put Tyler Bleydendaal back into my academy as a 20 year old - think its wrong to accuse someone of cheating, as that then makes others start questioning other things that I have been doing.

I've previously put a bid in on Phil Burgess because I didnt see him in anyones squad, but he was in Steven's and I thought I went through everyones squads properly. But after making a bid from him I was told he was in Steven's squad, and accepted that.

No need to accuse people of cheating! Jeez, if you want him that badly take him from my squad for free!!!

I'm not bothered about him in the slightest, if you want to play like that fill your boots fella.

I put the bid in at 12:09 and you commented at 12:30 saying he was already in your squad.

You edited your squad at 12:23 putting the player in. I refreshed and seen him appear mate.

Guys from now on this will act in the same way as foreign transfers just to clear things up

Also Chris...

The squad limit is 55, you were at 56 before adding Gulliver this morning which took you to 57.

I think Mason will take you to 58?!?!

Rikki Sheriffe 0.25mil

I've already signed Sheriffe mate

Newcastle confirm:

Ben Guliver 0.5m
Will Chudley 0.5m.

Newcastle promote the following from development sides:

Richard Boyle & Joe Robinson

Grant Shiels - 0.5m

Shiels 1m

Shiels 2m

Ben Guliver 1mil (sorry pooly)

I've already confirmed Prop lol

Thats the confirm above, I bid yesterday mate....sorry

Ah balls ok bud no worries I'll keep hunting then

He is actually in my sqaud...honest lol.

Haha don't worry I didn't check!! Just about to trawl through the championship squads

Sheriffe's 26 Pooly, so can't be in your academy - tut, tut a 26 year old in an academy - sounds like someones being a bit of a cheat, naughty...

I think your the last person who should be talking about the rules Chris...

Have you got your squad numbers down yet?

Also Driver introduced a new rule on domestics that they would be treated as same as the foreign transfers, so nobody can sign a new players until Driver confirms it. Believe Gulliver is still fair game - though also highlights the need for someone to monitor this properly and perhaps we should introduce windows to make bids in?

Pooly, you havent put someone in your squad without it being confirmed by Driver. Looks like a second incident of cheating within the space of a few hours. Tut, tut again...

I'm off to find my lynchmob, will be heading up to Newcastle imminently. Bit of a trek but we'll be there by the morning!

My squad is absolutely fine mate, thanks for the concern - got loads of room in the academy - this is the part of your squad where you can have up to 20 twenty one year olds in it. But no twenty six year olds.

Also got about 2-3 spaces left in my squad. No rule breaks for me - hope the RFU keep a careful eye on the age of your academy from now on though, always thought a few of them looked too big to be proper age range...

Well done, I'm really not concerned.

Juan Pablo Socino is 23 and in your academy Chris...you know that place where you can have 20 x 21 year olds

You two are like a pair of old women sometimes!!!

I offered to forget about the cheating but Chris seems pretty intent on dragging things out..lol

Newcastle confirm Grant Shiells for 2m

Pooly for the record national league signings are going the way of foreigns as far as i know. I.e Driver must accept the bid before you can confirm...

Gary Botha to Exeter 15 m

Wrong page Chris....check your page

Shiells Accepted for £2m

Michael Le Bourgeois from Jersey 0.5mil

How does eq work for someone from Jersey?

He's EQ

Marker

Prop your bid for Michael Le Bourgeois has been accepted and can now be included in your squad.

Wasps call up Mark Atkinson, Joe Burton, Chris Elder, Alex Fan, Jonah Holmes and Billy Vunipola into the academy.

Arry you sold me Chris Elder as part of a deal back on 606

Sure someone else has Billy vunipola also

Sorry mate, I've changed it on my page

Don't think they have Mat, have had plenty of people enquiring about him.

Mark Atkinson is mine Arry mate. Was in Sales academy originally before moing to Wasps. Had him in my academy for ages

Fair enough mate will take him off my page tomorrow, going to bed now!

Mat - I had both Vunipola's at one point, but had to offload one because of the old rules about no. of academy players...both good prospects.

Wasps bid £0.5m for Ryan Burrows

Arry I can confirm your bid for Ryan Burrows - got yourself a very good player there, will do well for Leeds and then impress the year after in the AP!

DanMugford £0.5m

Don't think anyone has him Marcel Garvey £1m

Think Johnny has

thought someone might!

Yeah sorry chris mate I have him
have alot of that worcester side this year. Lets hope they do an exeter this year

MArcel Garvey is easily neutralised by kicking at him or in behind him. He is a disaster zone if that happens.

Was so glad when we got rid of him at gloucester

I remember when he burst on the scene, he looked fantastic. Has had a good year in the Champ, must be getting on now is he.

SJE - think you could be on to a winner with some of the Worcestor side - I'm hoping that Jake Abbott shows how good he is, he was the reason they let Tom Wood leave them. Just got back from a really nasty injury but a very good 6 with a big future.
