the eligility rules are fairly clear re origin

lol

glad to see our efforts to educate you are not being wasted!

SOO eligibility is as flexible as a gymnast. If it suits your in. Uate had made himself eligible for Fiji meaning he was not eligible for Australia for 2 years meaning he should not have played for NSW. I have no problem with it, they should just stop the pretence and allow anyone who wants to play in it eligible depending on where they align themselves with.

The sad thing is in his desire to play SOO RL has lost the opportunity for a star player like Uate to really be a figure head for the game in Fiji.

Wrong..........Rules state where you first played Senior Grade RL.............nothing about Under age comps...HTH.

....typo, should have said "a" Newcastle Hunter Club not "the"


Again......you start with the abuse





OK.....so my opinion differs to yours and you call me names.......



Seriously.......some people need to learn how to accept the views of others without getting all defensive.

Wrong. He played for Fiji in the last World Cup cycle. He now has the ability to change allegiences if he applies to the RLIF, which he did. If he played for Fiji last year he wouldn't be allowed to play for NSW, but he didn't.

Wrong. The rules talk about senior football, but the definition of senior football is rep under 16s or higher. And even if that was true it doesn't alter the fact that those players are well within the rules to play for the state they play for. If you don't know the rules and you don't make any sense you have no credibility on the matter. Differing views have no bearing on facts.

wrong!


the rules stated,which the ARL signed upto too, that you could switch in 2009...but whoever you played for in 2009 you where tied into that country for the next 5 YEARS.....hence why hayne,jennings,bridge & harrison all switched after the last world cup......


UATE played for fiji in the 2009 pacific cup...that tied him into fiji until after the 2013 world cup.....


you know this...stop making up laws muppet

Absolute nonsense. The rules are that there is an "election period". This period is essentially from World Cup to World Cup. You are allowed to change your allegience ONCE DURING THAT ELECTION PERIOD if you apply to the RLIF. So you have one allegience and you change it and that's it. Uate has changed his. If you want to go calling people muppets you should really make sure you know what you're talking about first. But we all know you go off half-cocked and make stupid, incorrect statements all the time, like your infamous "New Zealand has never beaten England/GB in a series in England" when of course they have won not one, not two, but three.

lol where did u find that photo u sicko

His personal collection I'd say.

This from the pillock who didn't know New Zealand beat GB in a series in England in 1998. But claimed they have never done so. Even though they did it THREE times. And doesn't know what the southern cross looks like either. And claims he's not a biggot because he's "got a black mate" George Costanza style.

The fact that this entire reply has nothing to do with the previous post is an admittance of defeat. Well done.

hahahahhahahahha....there it is.....


everyone,on every board you post on, knows your game....lose a argument you resort to calls of racism,ignorance,bigotry ......your a muppet

Maybe I can be mates with your "black" mate too and then I can claim I'm not a biggot too. Or at least let me take a photo next to him. And just how black is he? Because he has to be really, really black. Not just a bit black. What shade of black would you say?

What's the post got to do with anything anyone on this thread has been talking about? Nothing. Doesn't that tell you something?

ECT knows about RL

Spud knows about kermit the frog

a place here for everyone

If ECT knew so much about RL, he'd have a reply for this from spud:

ive been reading ECTS posts for years and yes he does know loads about the game

on expansion hes very good as well

all im seeing is spud posting pictures of kermit the frog

one is informative the other amusing

both are welcome on the thread

They are in reply to ECT's personal abuse that has nothing to do with the thread. The thread died when he couldn't reply to that post.

Once he's got a reply, the thread won't be pointless anymore.

Mr Wellsy13, don't expect debate.

You'll get a LOL soon, if you're not careful.

Parramatta is a City as well, so is Bankstown and many other places that are part of Sydney, what was your point again?
Its Sydney V Country not "Cities" v Country.
Is Penrith still part of Sydney?


I am not from Sydney, I am a Queenslander and you have no idea old Mate.

6 years in a row you MUG

Well done mate, well deserved. Congrats.

Cheers Rooster, not a bad game, good to see Inglis fire up again.
How are the Coogee Dolphins going?

I get it, grog o'clock up there ain't it. Dunno am at Manly Sea Eagles this season.
