He's due to turn up with the season tickets.

From his Facebook page today "Just waiting upon my test results and London in the next 2 weeks"

Will he be fit??

Due early February according to the club yesterday.

Confirmed on his facebook page.

That is really good news, I am looking forward to seeing him play.

Anyone know when Mark Ioane arrives?

Been here getting on for a month now. Didn't play against the Yowies, but was in the stand watching, but may get some time on the field against the Rams on Sunday.

Oh ta Torbreck. I assumed he wasn't here as he's not got a picture on the team profiles on website.

He's still back home in PNG keeping fit in the gym.

Ioane seemed to have no issues with his visa!
Hopefully there's no last minute glitch

Comes to something when even players are boycotting matches.

It comes to something when someone as sad as you thinks he's being funny.
Thought Mintball had got rid of you, sparing everybody from your bitterness and resentment

Still hoping she'll ban me on your behalf?

As long as I steer clear of the Elephant in the room I'm here for the duration.

Not ideal admittedly but I still get to grind your gears so it's a price worth paying.

Some people are so sad!

I take it you're referring to the barrack room libel lawyer as you put me on ignore remember?

If not then you're right.

Not sure why you take such an interest cowgirl thought you were hard and fast skolars fan

I always take a keen interest in hypocrisy.

Apparently should be here in march

Any reason why not till then or was that always the plan.maybe that was terms that he signed on

Or maybe it was just the club cocking up as per usual.

Yeah, maybe we should just sneak him in the country eh CN. Have a day off mate.

How comes other clubs don't have visa issues then?

If it waddles like a duck & quacks like a duck then it's safe to assume it's a duck.

Other clubs do, whats your point??

Thanks for your suggestions cn maybe that is the case, if so then fine, all am asking is if anyone knows is it visa issue is what was agreed or is it a change of heart.
If he is coming in March then it's not the last one, and am not quite sure what sway the club have over hm govt immigration Sept so how a delay to visa is club cock up am not sure.

All smaller clubs/sports have problems with visa's for overseas players because they are only "automatic" for existing "Stars" with unblemished records. Israel, with the best will in the world is not an "established star" in our sport, let alone beyond our sport, so he will have to go through a lengthy process, thats just the way it is, now if we were signing Sonny Bill Williams, HIS visa would take about 48hrs. But, we're not, so it could take up to 6 months, before he receives it.
