NSWRL Transfer Policy
Team Managers should make themselves aware of, and ensure that they have an understanding of, the NSWRL Transfer Policy which limits player movement to and from teams in all age groups from Under 6 to Under 17s.
The basic principles allow for the following recruitment by teams:
A maximum of FOUR players can be recruited from Clubs INTERNALLY (within your District) –only TWO players are allowed to come to you from any one Club internally in any one age group.
A maximum of FOUR players can be recruited from Clubs EXTERNALLY from any other District – only TWO players are allowed to come to you from any one Club externally in any one age group.
If your team played in the Division 1 Grand Final in the previous season then you cannot recruit ANY player that played Division 1 in the previous season. You can still recruit Division
2 players or players that are new to the game or did not participate in the previous season.

NSWRL JUNIOR RUGBY LEAGUE POLICIES & PROCEDURES MANUAL NSWRL P&P Manual 2017 FINAL © 2017 NSWRL Page 108 / 310 GAMEDAY POLICIES
4.27 Protective Goggles Policy
The NSWRL sanction the use of protective goggles for use in games and training within Rugby League providing the goggles have no rigid components which could cause harm to the player. These goggles would usually be made of soft plastic with an elastic head band to keep them in place. The NSWRL recommend that head guards are worn by players wearing goggles to reduce the chance of the head band from the goggles sliding down the player’s neck. Any player wearing goggles should seek written clarification from their optician that the goggles are suitable for contact sport. This letter from the optician, together with this NSWRL Policy, will need to be submitted to the Manager of the District Junior Rugby League in which the participant competes. A copy of the letter and the policy will also need to be kept with the players identification card at all times and may prove useful on match days to reassure match officials and opponents. However, despite this policy, the final decision on the suitability of any player equipment is ultimately the referee’s decision.
De-register/un-assign player?
DE-REGISTER – teams are only allowed 7 a season. A reason will have to be submitted to the Sydney Roosters Administrator.
If a player is registered and DOES NOT take the field, you are able to de-register and it counts as a free one. It won’t be included in the 7 team count.
UN-ASSIGNED – if a player is seriously injured at a game or training and won’t play again during that season, they need to stay on the Mysideline system for Insurance claims.
