Looks like it - unless they were going to temporarily de-register someone else.

it does state he travelled on his new zealand passport, one can only presume that had dobbo not been injured then either another quota player would have made way temporaily or they simply would of not registered him to play with the rfl yet until he got the passport from tonga to take him off quota.

| Dobson was at the Mason launch, so I think it is simply a temporary measure.

If it was 'cheating' we would be up before the RFL, as it is we are playing within the rules laid down by the RFL, if they don't like it they should change them.

| So Mason can be a Tongan for RFL purposes and therefore off quota, but is either Aussie or NZ for visa purposes (and is presumably this now because of the quota issue highlighted)?
I may be remembering this wrong, but didn't Zod start throwing RFL rules round about the quota a few weeks ago? Maybe the club can't get him off the quota and the reason he arrived so suddenly this week is entirely due to Dobson's injury. If the Tongan passport doesn't actually materialise, what happens then? Someone else makes way for Willie???
To say nothing of the issue of Mason working on a visa based on one nationality, and then actually being another nationality....
Or Dobson's inability to work in the job his visa refers to, such that his employer has now de-registered him as an employee...

Or could it be that the Visa folks just need his passport details where as the RFL actually need to see the passport itself.

| If he's travelled on his nz passport then surely he's come with that on his visa, will he have to get a new visa when his Tongan passport is received?

| My worrying thought is that if its only temporary would it not be easier to "de-register" vella for this? Not saying he isn't important but we have more cover in that area then we do at the halves

Vella isn't on the overseas quota though. De-registering him wouldn't make any difference

You'd think the obvious choice would have been Clinton ? Whose rumoured to want away anyway.
