Hepi is a second rower isn’t he.

Depends on the wider context, like any of the rumours.

If they are coming on as part of a squad player freshen up ie

Griffin for Clark
Hepi for Clarkson - (although surely Hepi isn't worth a quota spot)
Olpherts for Claire or Egodu and Gill

With only the likes of Minikin, Aston, Maher and Rankin or Ellis as additional departees

And

a quality winger and forward (or Full Back, bearing in mind one of the rumours) coming in.

Fine. Happy enough.

If however we are shuffling the deck slightly with no quality to come in (even worse Gale also leaving) then signing more average at best SL players (like Griffin and Olpherts) and projects (Hepi) starts to look ridiculous.

Even though he's a Kiwi, is he off quota? Did he play junior over here whilst his dad was still playing?

Looking at the playing records of Tyla and Brad Hepi, I think you might be right. Tyla is 25 years old and was playing for HKR in 2011 and around the same time Brad was coach of Gloucester All Golds. Looks like Tyla’s junior rugby must have been in the UK.

Reverse of the Mitch Clark situation I think. That said what’s the odds on a rule change shortly?

Found an article where he says.... grew up in NZ came over here at 11 or 12 years old. Not to sure on the rules surrounding junior training for quota spots as it seems he may have trained in NZ and UK as a junior.

Chris Clarkson has more GF winners medals than the rest of our squad. Does that make him the better than others???

When he was about 18-19 playing in the forwards, don't forget.

But you need to compare “apples with apples”. You can’t compare someone whose been at a SL club for about 5 years. Compare him to someone at the club whose played a similar amount of SL games then judge if he’s an improvement or not.
