A guy can read a book and remember it from start to finish.

Another man can make a fire from two sticks and catch fish with ease.
He taught himself.

Anyone can copy what another mans done and remember it. Its not inteligent. It is what monkeys doo

He played good footy the year he left dogs. He would of went to UK for a nice quid and he killed it there. He signed a 1yr deal which costs more.
We had room under cap. Im sure Frank still had 12mths contract in UK .

Yeh, but it was Frank who wanted to come back from the UK, not us trying to induce him to do it

Pretty sure Benji tried to play union a few years back in between two NRL seasons (and re-signing), but the NRL said they wouldnt allow it.

Could you imagine what would happen if players could have a valid registered NRL contract but playing union in the off season. Clubs could use it to "cheat" the cap.

Anyhow can't see it being an issue we could just put a "signed " in the office safe to be registered after his union season was over.

There is the Hayne precedent now though. The NRL are all about ignoring June 30 roster deadlines and waving 10-day cooling off periods when it doesn't involve a current rugby league player...:p

They have also endorsed the cross code mercenary behavior of Sonny Bill Williams by never hindering the Roosters in signing him.

Between the two there is probably enough ground to make a case for letting Semi come back, especially given the circumstances behind him signing with Toulon in the first place.

Yes I f**ken do, I live in Belgium where they speak Dutch when it suits them . But they also sell a donut that they call 'semen' so I wouldn't trust them.

Meel is also what kiwis call people who aren't chicks.
Well then I can only conclude that you have coeliac disease. My condolences.
