From what I recall Tangata was on loan to us from Halifax and as such was on their quota not ours and remained so. Somewhere down the line he became a Trinity player and now he is on our quota. I assume we signed him up at the start of the 2020 season although I don’t recall it.
Either way he’s our player now and does take up a spot.
Makes you wonder if you couldn’t do a deal with a Championship club where they register a quota player, give him a few warm up games then loan him to us for the rest of the season. In return we could loan them some players to even out the cost. Players like either Walker or Kershaw would go down a bomb.
It’s unethical and maybe not possible I suppose but if it were I bet Wigan would do it!
Tangata was given an exemption following the situation at Widnes and it lasted for the length of his next contract, so I’m assuming that’s why we took him on loan. As soon as we made him a permanent signing that exemption ended and he counts on quota again.
