I agree he is a great player, but I have one question, If he was not granted a visa to work /play for UK based SL clubs. Because of criminal convictions., but was granted a visa by France. surely that means he can only play Home games. Does not the same visa criteria come into play when Catalan travel to UK for their away games?. Just Asking.

Think about it, if you were declined a Visa to live and work (Full time) in America, do you think that would stop you from been able to partake in regular business visits to America?

IIRC Greg Bird joined Catalans for similar reasons and as far as I know he played away games as well as home.

Couldn't be further from the truth. You only have to watch the footy show to see they're about as pc as Jim Davidson and chubby Brown on a lads night out.

They are just fed up with giving highly paid players second and third chances. The governing body has worked hard to raise the profile of their game against stiff opposition from Aussie rules. They get increased TV deals and increased sponsorship and Todd Carney goes out and wees in his own mouth and gets a bloke to photo it. .....

If he's any sense hell realise this is his last chance.

They have announced a new 4 year deal for escare too. Another very good deal this week for the Catalans.

Catalans will not actually have signed anything as yet. The RFL have the right to accept or decline any SL player registration. If they decide against - for obvious reasons, you will not be seeing him play for Catalans. Home or away.
