Rules are rules and well abide by them.When our players are all okay to play, well play them.Its the second time the NRL have blocked a Hopoate from rugby league involvement at Manly this year, after they also stopped John from coaching the clubs SG Ball team.Manly are also yet to have the contract of former Sydney Roosters youngster Willis Meehan registered with the NRL, after they signed him mid-season following his assault of a taxi driver last July.Similarly Willis will have to show he is fit and proper before he can return to the NRL, the NRL spokesman said.Philipp Grubauer Jersey .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons.
