\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Hull\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Hull KR head coach Willie Peters<\/a> has explained what the new Super League quota rules mean for his side going forward into 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was confirmed on Friday that from 2026 onwards Super League clubs will be able to register a maximum of ten overseas quota players<\/a>, with that figure jumping up from seven.<\/p>\n

Having been proposed previously, it\u2019s something that Willie Peters has already spoken about and the Hull KR head coach has had his say once again.<\/p>\n

In early July, the Hull KR boss argued that clubs need notice as he spoke on his side\u2019s lack of salary cap space<\/a>, having already built the majority of their squad for 2026 already.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Serious About Rugby League today, he underlined:\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re organised in terms of recruitment when it comes to recruitment and planning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s come in late, it\u2019s probably something where you need to get at least a couple of year\u2019s notification on it so you can plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

How Hull KR are impacted by new Super League ruling<\/p>\n

Hull KR have a max of seven overseas players this year and they\u2019ll replace the retiring Jared Waerea-Hargreaves with Tom Amone, an example of the planning that Peters spoke about.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s suggested that those who do plan are punished somewhat but insisted that the Robins are \u2018comfortable\u2019 with what they\u2019ve got for next year.<\/p>\n

Peters said: \u201cIt was just put on us this year and said that\u2019s going to benefit clubs that have a lot of cap space who haven\u2019t organised for 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll find, I\u2019m sure, teams like Wigan and Leeds that the majority of their players will be already on the books for next year and that\u2019s a good thing for us. We\u2019re comfortable on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

One thing it does mean is more competition for places, something he welcomed, stating:\u00a0\u201cBut at the end of the day, players need to work hard and perform because it does broaden it and open it up to a wider market, where I think before it was more narrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this stage, we\u2019re okay for 2026 and we\u2019ll be looking more for 2027 but rugby league changes and evolves in terms of recruitment. It\u2019s always ongoing and it\u2019s just something we\u2019ll keep looking at.\u201d<\/p>\n

With confirmation that no more overseas signings will arrive before 2026, Peters was asked if the extra quota spots could come into play midway through the next campaign as he looks to strengthen and\/or replace injured players.<\/p>\n

He confirmed: \u201cWe\u2019ll always look within. We\u2019ll look locally but as I said, the market broadens now because you can look to those sort of players.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got another three spots that you can fill in terms of quota but it helps because for example, English props, they\u2019re hard to come by. Now it opens it up to go, okay, well, what\u2019s out there if there\u2019s no English props available?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives you a wider market to be able to look for over in Australia or wherever it may be. As I said, we\u2019re okay now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Every Super League club\u2019s quota situation ahead of 2026 changes with Hull FC and Wakefield Trinity set to benefit most<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
