While little to no International Football in the Southern Hemisphere at the end of the year the Northern Hemisphere teams are still playing Tests. My thing is this with the likes of the Burgess brothers, Heighington, Reed, Widdop and the various other national players be released to play? From memory if these players don't have a legitimate reason(injuries, family) for not being able to play it carries a 2 week suspension that should carry on into the next season (2013). Manly's not immune to this either Vic Mauro, Benny Falconne if selected will have to play for Italy. Tonga are also playing tests against the US but can't think of any players at the moment that are eligible for Tonga(or US for that matter) maybe Taufua
