Shame, would have been a quality addition to the Bulls and SL in general. Will have to see what happens regarding his court case now..

If he is cleared of an wrong doing then we have an exceptional mid season recruit, but for now we should concentrate and plan for a Bulls side without Greg Bird. If he comes then it'll just be a huge bonus.

To the people with the big red DENIED stamp.

Why's that.

For denying his visa.

Are you one of the 'guilty' before even having his trial brigade?

I expect he's one of the 'Thank fook, Bradford won't knock us out of second place this year' brigade

I bet your one of people who cheer that pillar of the community Leon Pryce aren't you.

If the basis for denying someone a visa is having a court case pending then perhaps someone could explain why 2 of our (Cas) new signings - Rangi Chase & Sione Faumuina - didn't have any problems getting over here!?

So we have:
Michael Crocker
Greg Bord (I know, Bord, I was going to edit it, but I like it better than Bird!)
Todd Carney


Who else has been told to stay home?

Chase's case was dropped on the correct grounds that he was defending a women, and i believe the aus cops have already dealt with siones offence (which was breaking a mirror as i recall)

Sione Faumuina has form in this area.


Still I think he might have snuck in ahead of this crackdown.

Don't wanna be Greg's Bird,
Don't wanna be Greg's Bird,
That job just sounds too dangerous for me.
"Cos if I was Greg's Bird,
If I was Greg's Bird,
I'd wonder how much longer I could see.

Never get to sing it now...

It was? Based on which particular bit of the Immigration Rules, then?

based on the fact he's got a fairly serious court case coming up....maybe?

add eastwood for leeds to that now

Pretty much.

Least you're honest. Personally I'd like to see a competition where there is at least 5/6 teams who could genuinely win the title, instead of the current 2 or perhaps 3.

Whats the saying people in glass houses shouldnt throw stones looks like leeds are a little red faced now.

And they wouldn't let him in because of a driving offense Ive been told!

The British consul in Canberra has gone off the reservation!

Greg Eastwood has been denied a visa to work in Britain because of a driving offense? Give me a break!

11 pages? INRATS. But if this has been posted, forgive me.

Is there someone high up in the NRL working for the immigration department? Are they that deperate to stop anyone leaving the country?

It's a long shot, but i wouldn't put it past them!

damn...i think you've rumbled them....

I mean, we sent them our lags, why won't they send us theirs?

he has a british father so i expect to get over here in the end. exactly when is anybodys guess though

I sure hope Meli hasn't got any previous offences because that is what has stopped Carney, Crocker, Eastwood and Bird getting their visas.
