Whatever happened to Ben Galea becoming Maltese? Did we just give up on that or could he not get dual citizenship?
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.

Must have fallen through. All I can think is that they have tightened the rules or Galea's family left a generation earlier than Vella's or something. That was the mistake - the Tonga stuff is basically just bad luck.

Even if galea got his Maltese passport, we could not re-register Mason as a quota player as far as I read it, we could however go out and sign another quota player that has not already been registered.
Scenario: Galea gets his Maltese passport and comes off quota, Mason cannot re-register so signs for Bradford on loan, we sign another Aussie test forward on a deal until end of season. RL Fans melts and all the whining Language please-RW on their 'demand' the RFL punish us severely, even though we are well within the rules of the RFL.

Lordy, baby Jesus and the angels. You've managed to come up with a scenario even funnier than the current one.
I think I would have a stroke if that happened.
