"Rules is Rules"
....an oft quoted saying from a GC manager.
Regardless of the Peyroux trade. This trade is against the rules and combined with the Peyroux trade sets a bad precedent.
Both these trades (Peyroux and Arona) should be reversed before either player happens to contribute to a sides score that wns a match.
But we do need a decision now especially because Peyroux was traded in for Aiden Sezer who may become the subject of a bid this week. At that point, it will be too late to retract the peyroux trade.
It is not too late to reverse either trade, and neither player has set the world on fire, but the damage from a poor precedent is far worse.
What if next week, Sonny-Bill announces he'll play for the Roosters?...the same rule would have to apply.
These are rules we have played under, and been subject to trade retractions for the last five years or so.
The only other alternative I see is to change the rules now and allow all rep players to be signed for 100k regardless.

Re: Bears trade - Arona
The Bears posted about Peyroux at the time (you can check if you wish) and also notified the COmmittee directly the same day. We took the non-reversal as an indication that Cook Islands is not relevant under the GC rules and so bid accordingly on Arona who has played less games (and scored less tries) than the winger with the girls name. We subsequently informed the COmmittee of Arona's status and were told the trade would stand.......and right on cue Jason King decided to step up this weekend

and so says the bible
The Bible - alas the Handbook - also has Arona noted as a Rep Player for the Cook Islands - so no excuses on this one for the Bears.....

Re: Bears trade - Arona
....actually we're all happy with our squads, it's only the Showers and bears with crap teams.....
Back to the main topic though......
Arona is a Cook Islands rep player, so the trade should be null and void (sorry)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinirau_Arona
We had thought about him earlier as well,
Just checked up on the Peyroux trade a few weeks ago which should also be void for the same reason
