Billings was trying to get off quota, but it got held up by red tape which is why he eventually left.

If he got off quota I'm not sure he'd be back though as he is a Hooker first and foremost and we're not short of options at 9.


Wrong.

This is what happened, as I posted back in June:

Tortured Soul wrote:
These are the facts concerning Janan and his de-registration:

Janan told the club that he had applied for a British passport and had sent off the fee of £750 along with his current passport in February. However, this was, apparently, not the case. It would seem that, as I understand it, that Janan was waiting and hoping that the deal for Ben Black would not go through as Adrian Vowles didn't want BB to come over. But, as has come to pass, Ben has landed and played for Fax. So, when the deal for BB went through, it seems that the club were getting impatient with Janan's passport saga and offered to help in any way possible. After being pressured into revealing the status of his application, it appears that he had made his application when the deal for BB was finalised using an agency in Rochdale, (who have been above board with his application), to apply for 'Indefinite Leave To Stay' as he had been resident in this country for five years.

However, this residency passport/visa/whatever does not allow for him to come off the quota. For this, he must either have been resident in the UK for ten years or have a parent who is British. Janan has neither. He has a grandparent who is British, but this unfortunately does not count. If he had a grandparent that had a nationality of certain European countries, (I know that Holland is one), then they would allow him to come off quota if he gained a passport from that country because of Free Trade within the European Community. The grandparent rule only works, as well, in the case of playing for a nation different from your birth, (Gibbo playing for Wales for example).

To finish, it looks like Janan has been naive, and has not been completely up front with Halifax RLFC in this matter, and this has led to his release.

Nah its ok, I didn't read that at the time and didn't know, Always good to be enlightened on the subject, I'd always believed what I posted was correct as that was what was generally said at the time, by missing the actual details I never knew.

You've got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream, how ya gonna have a dream come true?

Are you claiming all you are entitled to? www.debtadvicenetwork.org then go to "Self Help" then "Benefits & Entitlements".

Remember the Farrell/Lawford thing!!


That as just a misunderstanding. They were only naked in the shower together becase the others had already left, and Lawford was picking up the soap off the floor.

Stop it with the rumours!
