You failed to answer either question then.

No i never you asked what makes me such an expert on visas, i replied that i never proclaimed to be an expert on visas

You said that Hull haven't done enough to secure Croker's visa but then admit that you don't actually know what they could have done that they haven't. You also said that another club "seem to be way ahead of us" in how they handle overseas signings but then you fail to say who this club is and what they do that Hull don't.

No you said what makes me an expert, ive said i never thought i was

Imo they haven't done enough to secure crockers visa, i would have been lobbying parliment long ago regards it not just now there under pressuere after a couple of poor performances

as for the other point i know a member of our current squad who wasn't imformed fully by the club eaxctly what he needed to do as regards requirements he had to meet to secure his visa and work permit

And again as i said i know how another club handles this situation

No I never, I said





But you won't give details. Anyway forget it you are clearly just having a moan.

Another four weeks before news on Lauaki?

FFS



Not to worry, this will be offset by [ithe[/i press announcement on Monday.

Well this explains the delay.



The visa office in Canberrea clearly needs investigating. It's run by incompetents at best and folk taking the mickey at worst.

Although other teams have had problems with players visas, why is it only our club that the decision seems to take an eternity for?

We haven't got a receptionist to open the post.

Too early.

"Human wrecking ball"

Wait till he gets over here and has to deal with Hull City Council then

This is just getting ridiculous, and as Agar mentions it's completely unfair on the players. The officials seem to have a complete disregard for the fact they are playing with people's livelihoods, made worse by the fact that they are in a business with a particularly short working life.

They should consider how they'd feel in such a situation and pull their fingers out.

Kosh hope your not moaning there heaven forbid

"Given Lauaki has already signed with Hull and his wages are being paid by the Super League club, the Warriors, despite their injury woes, have agreed not to play him in their first-grade side."

So i take it this means that we are paying crocker too? surely we will have some sort of loss of earnings case against the consulate

You be lucky the club will say they have 6 years to pursue a claim and leave like the cooke one

Here comes the MODABEE.

Sorry MODABEE.
