Is the ARL guilty of bending rules to suit themselves?

Neville Costigan has had a request to play for PNG in the Four Nations turned down by the ARU, topping up these minnow sides can only be good for the international game as it really is only a 3 horse race. Yet the ARL selected Akuila Uate to play in the Prime ministers team and have made him elligible for selection for NSW and Australia!!. It seems to me rules are re;axed when it suits them, Costigan did not qualify becoz of hi involvement in Origin yet Uate played for hi country of birth but is allowed now to play for NSW and Aus. What an absolute joke.

    Anything to do with international rugby league is a joke. Players pick and choose who they want to play for and when. If they can't get picked for the side they want they try elsewhere, like South African cricketers.

    What are you talking about? Aku isn't eligible for Australia and NSW. Anyone can play in the Prime Minister's 13 but they choose to select potential Australian players and that's what Uate is, a potential Australian player. So this question is a joke in itself, you should have looked at the Australian train on squad and understand Uate has been left out before you asked this joke.

    It would seem so

    I would definatley prefer people to play for their country of birth just so we can have some competition.

    I do love watching the Australian rugby union team who have 50 different trainers each when they lose to Fiji who train on the beach with a coconut as a ball.
