Does this mean if England or Great Britain play tests matches after the World Cup that Radley can be selected/has to be available for selection and thus may miss NRL Games.?
In Football players miss games in their various comps when the country they play for are playing internationals/friendly's and World Cup Qualification matches. - It is mandatory for them to be released by their clubs if selected.

thought that mid-season there was no requirement for a club to release a player to play in the other hemisphere. can't see the poms demanding that radley plays v wales or france and australia or nz won't be going over there mid-season

The English Breakfast comes in a red box and I don't buy the Irish one. I also buy Lady Grey which comes in a blue box..crisis averted..everything in my kitchen is red, white and blue..
There is also a friendly game between England and Fiji on 7 October so if Victor wants to play in that, there better not be any beers, beers and more beers if by some miracle we won another grand final this year...there is also a difference between the England and Great Britain sides too as the Scottish and Welsh players are eligible for GB

Another thing is in a number of sports people can switch countries and represent another country providing they meet the eligibility rules in that particular sport .
How would that work for Radley ?- Tonie Carroll was able to play for New Zealand in 2000 and then Queensland and Australia so he must have "re-qualified" to be able to play for Queensland and Australia.
Not sure what the SOO eligibilty rules were back then as if now Carroll would not be able to play SOO having played for New Zealand a Tier 1 Nation.
Carroll was able to play for Queensland (2003 to 2007 -10 games ) and Australia (2004 - 2005 -6 Tests) after he played 5 tests for New Zealand in 2000

Just to clarify, all the below is an article, not my opinion or words...
The International Rugby League board has updated rules regarding the eligibility of players for international matches.
The changes were made following a review and consultation with the membership and they come into effect immediately.
The rules only apply to fully sanctioned international matches.
The key points are:
Eligibility to represent a nation is based upon the birthplace of the player, the birthplace of any parent or grandparent, or residency over a five-year period.
A player can only elect to represent one nation in any calendar year
‘Electing’ to represent a country has changed from playing for that country to being named in a 19-man squad (or final tournament squad in a sanctioned 9s competition) for that country.
A player eligible for any nations other than Australia, England, New Zealand can only make one switch between those nations in a four-year period. Players qualified for Australia, England and New Zealand plus any other nation can make multiple switches however they can only elect to represent one nation in any calendar year.
Players can only represent one of Australia, England or New Zealand in a career, even if eligible for more than one of those nations. If eligible they can play for nations outside of those three.
Players cannot represent Australia or New Zealand if they have elected to represent Great Britain and vice versa.
No player can play for more than one country in any recognised global event.
To put the rules in to context, Australian-born Jackson Hastings has elected to play for England and will not be able to represent his country of birth once he makes his England debut. Once Hastings plays for England, he would never be allowed to play for Australia.
And the same rules apply to Warrington half-back Blake Austin, who elected to play for Great Britain via family heritage last year.
Warrington forward Joe Philbin has played for Ireland via the family heritage rule but he was born in England, so he could still represent England and Ireland in the future. But Philbin would not be able to play for England or Ireland in the same calendar year
