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

Mostly water, with Carbon, Nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, and traces of other elements.

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).

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...
