he won't get a visa




at the very least the "visa people" will say come back after you get this sorted

I wonder whether it is a PR stunt as the likelihood of him coming this season bearing in mind the problems we had with carney and Hull are having with Crocker means it must be one of the riskiest signings of the season.

good player mind but i am glad it is not us he is coming to.

Who Carney?

He will be at Odsal for the Hull KR game

Don't give him a Visa !!!

Is there no integrity in this corporate game any more? This shouldn't even be up for debate.

Do Bradford fans honestly want to see this prat playing for them next season? Success at all costs? Is that it? I think I'd rather see a lesser more moral player at my club.

He would not play for your pathetic club anyway,

His biggest problem could well be a visa.
So many players are now having trouble and this bloke has history plus he's got a court case pending.
The deal is that he doesn't play in the NRL in 2009 which means he could well go back for 2010.
How many games will he play for the Bulls or any club that signs him?

Fscking moron.

Reel em in

hey up, we've finally got a clever hull kr fan



we'll have to watch out for this one.
dontcha think.

Its a good signing for the bulls if true, they are really lacking quality in the backs, but still, do you really want someone like him in your dressing room.

We have also made him an offer but he is unlikely to accept says IL as we have not offered him mega bucks.

Bird to Bradford has now been confirmed, the Bulls put out a press release an hour ago

Yup. www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/399 ... FOR%20BIRD

Yup. www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/399 ... FOR%20BIRD

they can confirm it all they want...he still won't get a visa

No way he'll get a visa now he has been charged. If found guilty he has no hope and could be behind bars by mid year anyway.

Personally I'd like to see the NRL and SL sign an agreement to keep these scum out of top flight RL. Let them got to RU where there personality flaws will be in good company!

does he have any previous convictions?

That was my thought, surely the charges will make that impossible until after he has been to court?

Can you really see the Bulls announcing this news if they weren't sure of a Visa? They'd probably wait until the visa was confirmed before pushing out the press release?

Considering the way others are having problems with visas, it wouldn't make sense to announce it before being given one?



We have a strong pack and a very good half back combination in Bird/Deacon, Bird/Jeffries. Hopefully the club will have the second and third option, and not the player. Could be a very good year for the Bulls

many a true word

That would be almost a shocking as hudds signing a player who couldnt get a visa

Bradfords development system still broken I see

Which is why I said..
