heard a rumour he has no work permit.

I am sure this would have been fully checked before he signed. I aint worried.

Best not to worry too much about that fella in the thread title because it was Mikali Aizue that we signed.

i heard the same that he told the club it was expiring one day before it did. no one else think it strange we get told how every other injury happened but not with his and thiers not been a return date put on him just that he could play this week but never does lol.

Thought it was [size=150makali aizue[/size. Will the club comment on this ????????????????????????????? The permit that is...not the spelling of his name.

If it was the case I think the club would have said, remember when Gibbo nearly got sent back to Australia because he hadn't got the right forms when he arrived in England,

Saw him after the Dewsbury game and when I asked him when he will be back playing he said that he didnt want to say.

If he doesn't, how long would it take him to acquire one?

Simple, shave off beard and put Stanley's shirt on!

Will ge need one after the length of time he has been over here? Or does that just apply to being on the quota etc?

No doubt the Crusaders are already interested!

This does not sounds good!

[IFthere is any truth in this
the cinic in me would suggest its something to do with the collapsed sponsorship.

There is a familiar sound to this, Makali had had previous problems when he was at Hull KR when they were coached by Mal Reilly and Martin Hall. He nearly got sent home only to have it issued at the 3rd attempt. I will keep my fingers crossed but no smoke without fire. Hope the club come on here to dispell it as rubbish. They are generally quick to do so if the rumour is garbage. The fact they have stayed silent on this so far doesn't fill me with confidence!!

Surely if its true it can be sorted

Why?

i would guess he'd be one of the high earners.

But he is still at the club I saw him after the Dewsbury game and had a chat with him.

if this is true. it is a major set back for us.

Makaiili was going to bring some extra grit to the forwards, in the big games last year we got outmuscled by bigger and stronger packs. he would have added a lot to the forward line.

hope he gets his visa soon

Lets not all start putting 2+2 together here and make 5. I posted earlier about his previous permit issues to point out this is where the rumour may have come from. Lets not now start rumours of financial doom and gloom when we have lots to be positive about. Makali is probably injured and these rumours do more harm than good in the long term. Lets just see what the club responds back with.

They is also a rumour that we are signing 2 more PNG stars does anyone beleve this?

thats a question for MR T HALL.

sorry i didn't mean it to sound like that.what i ment was positive action may be being taken because of the lost sponsorship

My point is everyone is quick to beleve Negative rumours when we had a chat with makali azuie on Sunday he was kitted out in Halifax gear and seemed Happy not like a man sweating over a work permit.

Ive heard the same one! It might well be true with the obvious playing connections at the club. Time will tell!
