No statement in the Crimes about any planned measure for which VC would take over when AAA is subbed. Powell is usually off by then as well, so probably Cusack or McCaffrey.
Did you ever care or notice who the hell the VC was in your team?

BK and Noah have been here a couple of years and know how we play, what's required of them, what the expectation is and how to direct us around.
We're confident with ......... those options, but ultimately one of them will get the gig and Thursday night will be important to see who steps up.
I like Les L-M a lot, and he has some experience at Super level, but I could also see Slipper moving to the THP bench spot with Harry Lloyd as backup to Sio. Anyone else think this is at least a remote possibility?
Looks like the Brumbies coaching staff have been reading my mail again.
Or Makin's just out injured or still in Japan as he didn't play at all.
Can anyone confirm Kata's eligibility? Assume he is a foreign marquee player? Or is he a foreign development player, meaning we can pick him in 5 years time if he stays here (when he is 30!)

I believe he would have to qualify through residency; however, I don't think the 5-year requirement (60 months) comes into effect until 31 December 2020 (and I believe it's grandfathered in) - so he'd only need the 3 years. Perhaps commencing from when he signed for the Storm in June 2019?

That's incorrect.
If you aren't qualified under the residency rule by 31 December 2020 then you are subject to the 5 year residency rule.
Effectively no one will qualify under the residency rule between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2022.
It means you had to have started your residency qualification on or before 31 December 2017 to qualify under the 3 year rule.
Apparently would be eligible after the five year qualifying period Reg, but could be tempted in the meantime to play for Tonga.
