Quote: christopher "I believe the NZRL signed the agreement a week ago! that is a disgrace.
The ARL are insular and only care about the NRL and SOO, this is not about layer welfare however much they say it is. I mean did they even ask the players?
Lets see if they can raise Invitational sides, the ARL cannot stop players from playing in the tournament'"
No but the NRL clubs can! So that affects England and Wales also! I see no option but to postpone which will be one heck of a climb down.
