We dream of following your shining light.
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 does state he travelled on his new zealand passport, one can only presume that had dobbo not been injured then either another quota player would have made way temporaily or they simply would of not registered him to play with the rfl yet until he got the passport from tonga to take him off quota.

If it was 'cheating' we would be up before the RFL, as it is we are playing within the rules laid down by the RFL, if they don't like it they should change them.

So Mason can be a Tongan for RFL purposes and therefore off quota, but is either Aussie or NZ for visa purposes (and is presumably this now because of the quota issue highlighted)?
I may be remembering this wrong, but didn't Zod start throwing RFL rules round about the quota a few weeks ago? Maybe the club can't get him off the quota and the reason he arrived so suddenly this week is entirely due to Dobson's injury. If the Tongan passport doesn't actually materialise, what happens then? Someone else makes way for Willie???
To say nothing of the issue of Mason working on a visa based on one nationality, and then actually being another nationality....
Or Dobson's inability to work in the job his visa refers to, such that his employer has now de-registered him as an employee...

It is that that has me scratching my head. Is he working on a Aussie or a Tongan visa?
