Heres a scenario 1. No visa after weeks. Toovey gets peed off and goes home. Or scenario 2 (allegedly) pay Toovey into his Australian bank, get him over here to mentor Beattie, who isn't doing a bad job, then refer to Scenario 1.

Better not get found out if trying scenario 2.

Hopefully it's all in hand. The longer it drags on after reports suggesting it was due soon the more doubts I have.

Wouldn't we have to secretly pay him in Australia via our banking link with the RFL.......

Just asking, like.

The RFL would have to be his sponsor for him to have a work visa here.

...well we are their pets.

If we're getting player sponsorship from the RFL we must be....

To say Chalmers and Lowe have got us this far with all the obstacles and barriers in their way just underlines how committed they are; just imagine what they could do with the Bulls if we had;
1. A bank account
2. A Head coach from Oz
3. Zero points start (sorry I just had to put that one in)
4. etc etc

As much as I would hate this to happen; Leigh Beattie seems to have been doing a decent job. Or has he literally just been the puppet for Toovey?

Worst case scenario, if Toovey does cut his losses and head home, would people like to see Beattie given the reigns or start searching for a new Head Coach?

Didn’t take too long to put that rumour out, Toovs would be possibly third in line and I expect Cleary will be the front runner and favourite

Mick's just asked Toovey who says he's fully committed to Bradford.

So he's gorrrrrn, then

Did someone think MBBB was a hack and took that rumour literally? At least Gledhill can't be blamed for it this time...can he??

Is the couple of weeks nearly up now? Presume they don't work weekends

Mick Gledhill via BCB just saying he was talking to the Chairman earlier who said the bank account is now in place and Toovey's VISA could be in place in by next Saturday.

Uncle Marwan to the rescue.

Might take it little longer than a week but good news if true.

Anybody hear Beattie on radio Leeds say that when Toovey
gets his visa it'll save him talking to Mick Gledhill ??

Did he really say that?

savage

Will a work visa make any difference to our team? I've just listened to an interview with Jordan Lilley in which he says how much his game has benefited from him working with Geoff Toovey. It has also been mentioned several times that Toovey has been on the touch line and in the changing rooms during games.

Probably not in the grand scheme, however how can we pay GT without it?
He isn't ours at the moment.

If somebody wants to waltz in, take GT from under our noses then they can, we don't have him under contract because he doesn't have a work permit.

He did indeed.

Someone at the club told me Warrington have been sounding him out.

Absolutely

Exactly what has uncle Marwan done for us?

BB wouldnt be alive but for him. Just look at current staff for tiny clues.
