I don't understand why we're struggling to get him over - png is covered by Kolpak-Cotonou, isn't it?
Is it the RFL delaying ratifying changes to non-fed, due to the impasse over restructuring, maybe?
Not the end of the world for him or us, I guess.

I spoke to enock

Couldn't sit the English test due to World Cup commitments

Next time he can sit it is February

Needs to sit it in order to gain visa

roopy mentioned this on the VT the other week and I wouldn't read to much into it as other PNG players who are playing over here are named in the squad aswell

Here's his inbox to me

Hi mate, I didn't sit for the English test because we're in England for the world cup. The next test is scheduled for February therefore I'm late for pre season training.so I don't think I'm coming over just yet...in order to get a visa we have to sit for the test..mate really appreciate your support and looking forward to hull kr once I sort out the visa..cheers.

Just sounds like it's been out of people's hands and just a matter of circumstance

I'm not doubting you, but I thought that not needing a visa was the distinction between quota players and those who are just non-fed. Pacific Islanders were pretty much free to come over, I thought - must have got the wrong end of the stick. Or maybe UKBA are interpreting it differently now.

You shouldn't be worried who is in the Queensland Cup squad, but you should be about who isn't.

Panui can stay in Papua for me. Would like to see Maki here because I think he has potential. Don't really see the point though in truth because he clearly needs a big off-season to get up to speed.

Paniu played well in the warm-up game against Scotland before he went off injured and he had a decent game against the Kiwis when most of the tries came down Yere's channel.

Having said that, I'm not sure he's much kop as a dog walker or a binman and I'm not sure he has much experience putting up tents or driving go-karts either, so maybe we ought to look elsewhere.

Does anyone think they'll turn up? Like RBA I can't see the point if they can't be here for pre season.

sheldon are your thoughts the same with fcs duo rankin and binman who wont be in hull for preseason tent building sorry i meant to type preseason training.

As were discussing Hkr what have Hull fc got to do with it? You can always ask on that board if your interested.

These guys would have put in some quality training during the WC campaign, and I imagine the Kumuls training camp will be pretty intense too. It will be full of young players having their first shot at full time professional training and giving it everything.

Obviously not.
