2014 Quebec Saints Exemption Request for Thomas Stafford

Player: 
Thomas Stafford
Exemption Type: 
Eligibility Points
Reason: 
we have 23 guys registered for US Nationals. I’m hoping that we may have one more guy who can still make it (he is waiting on a visa) as we are carrying a lot of injuries (at least four injuries where if they reoccur they are out for the tournament). We have two guys in the 23 who have not played for us yet this year – Sam Rothwell and Tom Stafford. They are both our teammates (and good mates of mine) from Ottawa (Ottawa are our sister club and we have a good arrangement with them where we help each other out). Sam hasn’t played footy at all this year as he has been out injured thus whey he never played with us. Tom, once he heard about US Nationals was supposed to play with us so he could qualify but he got injured in August and so missed our last four rounds of footy. If it’s a matter of proving they were injured that is not a problem.
League Ruling
Status:
