1. How much sunlight and Seasol does his hair need?
2. Can an international rookie get a kick or do they need to get elevated like a regular vanilla rookie?

I'm pretty sure that he (as an Int' Rookie) can be elevated at any time and is distinct from the other rookies in that regard. We should also sign that American dude as well - Wallace. He would have Gus quivering at the intra-club matches  I'm sure he could drum up enough Marketing currency in the US to pay for his wage. We can have a maximum of 6 (Int' rookies) at any stage and recruit up to 2 in any given year.

FFS.. , they speak better English than some Australians, they are also more intelligent, have better morals and are more respectful!!

It was a question.  No need to be a smart arse.

He was doing research, that's why he asked. What do you want him to do Google "does Gideon Simon speak English"

Enough with the infighting and personal insults! 

Back to the topic!

Maybe they should get you to do the digging and drilling then !!

Seems strange that you are the boss and you are less intelligent, have lower morals and less respect.

Get off your high horse.

Been there less than a year.

This time a year ago Africans were smarter and better people. As a mere Australian I am slipping a long way down the pecking order after countries that have been dug and drilled by WAT.

Oh, and I bothered to do some research .........................

LITERACY IN Papua New Guinea has fallen below 50% of the population, the PNG National Research Institute says.

So I would suggest there was nothing disrespectful in asking if he spoke English. It seems like a very valid question to me.

"Less intelegent" coming from a moron I will take that as a compliment!! Just like when I was in Africa, great to hear comments from people who go off stats....

Why the stuff would he be in an AFL team if he couldnt speak English???? How the stuff could he understand instructions etc....unless it's visual, very visual, if they don't speak English they do not undersatnd!!! Why would the RFC recruit someone that could not understand English. LL&N understanding and Education takes a long time to impliment!!
