Wish this man all the best, still gutted he's not in the team. Out of all the departures this is the one that still hurts most fans i believe.

They should have changed the import rule by now....if a person is a Canadian they should be exempt since it is a British/French/Canadian League now....need to update their regulations...really slow off the mark on this.

Everyone wants us to develop Canadian talent yet they still restrict us with an import quota...like telling a kid you want him to eat and grow and then you restrict his diet by cutting down the calories to a minimum....2 steps froward, one step back.

The question is what passport does Jacks travel on? Does he have an Australian one or a Canadian one?

He is NOT a Canadian citizen, and that is the problem. He is Canadian-ish based on his ancestry. The rules for international competition seem to be looser, allowing him to play for Canada. I think one should need citizenship to represent a country, so much as I like Jacks and hated to see him leave the WP, I think the RFL has it correct in counting him as an import and not a Canadian.

One of the ladies (or gents!) in the crowd at Lamport ought to marry him to help him get Canadian citizenship a bit down the road...
