We should all be shot.
The North/South Korea conflict would never have happened if it wasn't for this ruling.
It's all Clint Newton's fault, (again) what will it take to rid our great game of this invidious cancer?
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

It's called playing the game. If the RFL have confirmed that no rules will be broken, that's all that matters. Your opinion counts for sweet FA.

I am defeated. You're rapier like thrust has cut me to the quick. I doubt I shall ever be the same again.

It's called bending the rules looking for exploits. Essentailly Hull KR have once again, as with the Stanley Gene ruling, opened up the floodgates for more overseas players to come here.

Its not bending any rules. Surely if the rules were being bent, then the RFL chief would not have said he was happy with it lol?

Those same floodgates that were already opened by Simon Finnegan?
