Carney, Myles and Nu'uausala allegedly break team booze ban.

How does the work permit work in the UK for RL players without a British passport or the kolpak ruling? In soccer they have to have played something like 75% of their national teams matches in the last 3 or 4 years.



Let's say he wants out. It's our fault that he deliberately tries to get himself sacked instead of going to Nick Politis and saying "I don't want to be here anymore" you are serious with this?

I'd like to know what more the club can do than what we've already done. He's 25 years old if he wants to himself then he will but you can't go blaming the club for what he's doing.

That does not sound right to me , There is Aussies over their playing in lower leagues who have never represented Australia in Soccer before.

I would say quite a few of the lower league players have a British or EU passport which wouldn't be hard to obtain for second generation Australians, I think even third generation can obtain one.
