Using my experiences as a Wigan fan, they are usually over thirty, very expensive and carrying an injury

Mixing them together, you would normally expect to have one head, a pair of arms, pair of legs, torso, muscles, ligaments and the likes for joining things together, some dangly bits, a dodgy accent, an excessive suntan and an annoying habit of calling everyone "mate".

... amnd in a desperate attemnpt to answre the poor bloke's question:

Someone who is not a EU passport holder, and who is not a passport holder of a Kolpak nation (which has a mutual trade/work agreement with the EU).

In other words, "overseas" in rugby league's case is defined by employment and immigration laws that apply to anyone else, they are not rugby-specific (e.g. by taking into account where a player first played senior rugby, as the Aussies do, or used to do, for the SOO).
Squad number 18!

Read Nine's reply, she's perhaps not had quite as bad a week as the rest of us so was much more sensible.

You can't have a family without them...

And anyway, who's to say I didn't mean this kind of dangly bit:-
