I don't know the complete answer, but they aren't part time so they won't be needing to look for temporary jobs.  They can't/won't play elsewhere.  My guess is they probably get a month off and then get straight back into pre-season training.
 
Those that we keep anyway...

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

..and Daniel's going to Naenae

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

and Plains Rangers are looking to sign the streaker. Not only would she distract the opposition, but she runs to the corner flag quicker than Elrich

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

I was at the wrong end to see her intricate skills, but she must have a big reputation because even without the ball she drew at least 3 stewards and 1 cop out of position

So she looked quite good up front then?

I thought that was one of the meekest streaking efforts I've ever seen. She didn't even make it onto the playing field!

Good. Streakers at football matches.

Streakers are always amusing, regardless of the sport.

She failed to realise that even though she was at a football match with a football crowd, those were rugby stewards!

From what I saw it was a copybook tackle by the first steward and the others went over the top.

I noticed one of the stewards having a bit of a grope actually...
 
How did this thread go from what players do in the offseason, to the streaker? haha

She should join the Warriors as:
 
1.  She won't be allowed back at the Stadium so the Phoenix isn't an option;
2.  It took three stewards to take her down; and
3.  Even when the cops arrived and she was being escorted off she was still fighting (the perfect NRL attitude).
 
Final test of aptitude will be to get her loaded up on the turps and see if she commits an offence against a woman.
