Wasn't Willie Manu convicted of assault before he signed for Cas?

Yeah, depends if he will qualify for residency on the back of his time here or whether he will need a new visa. He could struggle for the latter.

There a obviously reasons why Crocker has been refused a visa to come here and play, whatever those reasons may be. However, with the amount of foreigners playing over here in football I just can't believe that all of them are so squeeky clean, can anyone else ? Or does money talk in football far more than in our game and if so who's recieving the backhanders !!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if this is possible, but can they apply for an EU or other EU country Visa, and then use it in the UK?

I know some feka did,


As far as Crocker is concerned,I am well gutted,was looking forward to seeing him play.

what i really dont get is how this country can tighten visa (fair do's), but this country will let people in the country who are then found out to be conspiring to blow us up!! they go to court are freed and then live off taxpayers money. Then they wont let a international, professional rugby player come to the country play three years, pass on so much knowledge to english kids and of course the young FC players. then pack his bags and go home.(no cost to the taxpayer)

Thats more to do with the Human rights act than British policy on these things. Yes its all backwards but we are signed up to it and must now live with it. You reap what you sow I am affraid.

Of course none of "us" actually benefit from the Human Rights Act do we?

I blame all the do-gooders!!

Heard tonight that the Celtic boys have got their visas and land tommorow

And?

Not really hard as most of them was here last season anyway.

You really are a $hite troll.

Surprised he's lasted this long TBH.

He hasnt now...

Having studied it to the extent that I have had to in my professional career, I would say we all benefit from it. The sad thing is though it is exploited for the benefit of those who really don't deserve it at times.

On the basis that they aren't human?



Tbh I tend to agree with what you say, although the impression people get tends to come from the media, with only stupid cases reported. What it has done is cut down the amount of money spent taking ludicrous cases to the ECHR only to have government policy overturned.

It`s a sad state of affairs though,that a newly appointed Super League side like Celtic,need to employ at least EIGHT players that are not British born.

And they say our game CAN expand .

Your havin a laugh

we will just send manly too do the job

I think that you mean TO do the job !!!

to do to go to the match etc.. too much too many too high too low etc....

did you learn english at school ??

but your expanding the skill level

Never mind Visas, the way they're behaving at the moment I'd be more concerned over raising a team to play in the NRL!

no . only 2 in trouble . stewart been charged sexual assalt . stood down for 4 weeks - whatmough in trouble for assalt.punching a sponsor of manly

but has been dealt within the club . club has been fined $100.000 by the nrl

we aussies need too pick a test team soon for the anzac test vs nz in 2 months

Can someone stop fredie resurrecting old threads?

I nearly had a heart attack when I read the first post!

Me too
