Ashley Klein may have caused UK Immigration to tighten things up.

Hang your heads in shame Bulls Club Board. This fool should not even be in the country never mind playing in our league. Its nothing short of a disgrace and the RFL should have stopped it. What sort of message does this send out to kids. Talk about double standards. I suppose the term "win at all costs" is the new motto at Bradford.
I would like to know how Carney and Croker are stumbling with their visas and he is ok. You should put an advert in the Bradford job centres. "Glass your missus and play for the Bulls".
Unbloodybelievable.
How can Chef Walker loose 12 months of his career in the nick for a fight outside a club and he, doesn't do a day in jail but walks straight into a job over here.
RFL answer that. You must have some very influential board members.

Erm . . . .do you think(rhetorical) it could have been because Chav was found guilty in a court of law, perhaps??

<. . . as opposed to the Kangaroo (geddit? ) court you just seem to have made-up >

We do agree on one point though, unbloodybelievable - though I suspect for differing reasons

I bet he doesn't.

I have been talking about this signing with THE bird today and she's a season ticket holder also and sees this the same as me. I honestly can't say what I think about this. Aside from the obvious problems relating to his fitness, preparation, guilt or not, morality of the signing etc. Can we hold our heads up above Hull, Hull KR, Wigan, Leeds, Warrington, Huddersfield, Saints, Cas etc because we don't have thugs playing for us whether he is or he isn't? But again if he turns out to be good both of us have said we might no longer have any reservations about him. It's left me in ethical limbo. I just hope he is actually a nice young lad that hasn't done anything really bad got himself in a situation through stupidity and will turn his life around with Bradford.

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 07,00.html Bird will come back to OZ in 2010.He is just biding his time until the NRL allow him to play.Cronulla coach Ricki Stuart said Bird will be out to prove a point in 2010 back in NRL. I think the club would be better investing their time and money into rewarding loyalty to players that want to play for the club,not to ones that have a year to fill in.Will our players off contract this year have to wait around to see if Bird is staying?We may loose loyal players if this is the case.

That only applies to jobs that are not easily filled by UK nationals.

So should be fine getting approved for a RL half back then!
