So much for innocent until proven guilty, eh?

I'm not defending Bird or the Bulls but you can see why they and the RFL had reason to assume he would be treated differently having no actual convictions.

It would seem that UK Border Control may have decided he made a false declaration or omission on the visa application.

El Diablo wrote:
It has to be said, given the situations with other players, this was a touch predictable. The concern I would have had all along is that, even if the charges of assault etc are shaky, the charges of lying to police might well be enough to terminally derail the visa process. He could easily end up not making it over here this season now. If that happens, and he is not guilty of the serious charges, it's pretty likely that he would just sign with an Aussie club for 2010.


It certainly would if the roles were reversed and you were trying to pass Australian immigration and had omitted to state there were pending charges.

Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.

It seems perfectly reasonable to refuse it at this stage whilst criminal charges are pending.

If the charges are dropped or he is acquitted he's perfectly free to re-apply.

Seems like a common sense decision to me.
