Looks like he was not such a bad miss after all.
Given the "culture" in the NRL, i would say the player pool on which we could look to recruit is becoming increasingly smaller given the new tightening up of the visa's.

I was looking froward to seeing Bird play in Super League in all honesty.
However, I'm glad as that's a majour blow to Bradford's squad.

After Crocker was told to shove it, it was surely only a matter of time before this guy was too.
Looks like the recent trend to sign up dodgy Aussies will soon be a thing of the past. |

| I assume that this means SBW will have no chance of getting a game over here?
Quote Sonny Bill Williams has been involved in a number of minor controversial off-field incidents. On 17 August 2005 it was revealed he had been charged with drunk driving; the Bulldogs fined Williams $10,000 over the incident and he was forced to appear in Waverley Local Court on 7 September. He was convicted of drunk driving, with a blood alcohol level of .075.[28
On 17 June 2007, Williams was caught by police urinating on a wall in a dark alleyway near a well known nightclub in Cronulla in Sydney and was handed an infringement notice and fine worth $650.[31 Williams subsequently admitted he had an alcohol problem and would seek professional help for his problem.[32[33 He also said in an official statement that he would be "taking drastic measures to make sure this doesn’t happen again.'" |

I think the issue is more with violent crime than those type of crimes, if so i would not have expected Riddell or Smith to have been allowed into the UK. |

There is of course the quirk in the system that seems to suggest Wigan can get visas with less difficulty than anyyone else. I don't know if that's wishful thinking on my part, but a pal who watches Wire was asking me the other day why Wigan's Aussies seemed to get here without any delay. |

Did you not tell him that Wigan not only owns the Rugby League but also the Immigration authorities.  |

I thought he was getting a British passport rather than a works visa. |

In RL World it said Eastwood could already be over here, but he is waiting for a full visa. He will arrive.
No suprise to see Bird is unlikely to make it.

So Bird's going to play in one of the pivotal positions of a RL team for barely 6 months, then head home?
Nice work.

Kind of feel like syaing i told you so, to many people about Greg Bird, im happy he was refused a visa... Court case in Sydney in April, slim chance of getting a visa and would deffinately be off at the end of the year at the earliest, so why did people get so upset when Wigan didnt sign him???
and dont mention the qaulity of this guy, no one ever questioned that...
