l have often thought about this Visa stuff, Every year a few new players come over, all from within the Commonwealth, every year there are problems with visas
In soccer Loads of players come in twice a year, some from very dodgy countries, yet l never hear of problems with their visas. Do we think there is a problem within the Rugby League family, or outside forces, whatever, someone in authority needs to be looking at this ongoing problem


Most of the 20% visa rejections from Manila (they say) are because applicants have been unable to show they have sufficient means of financial support should they enter the UK.

These soccer players coming from overseas have had stupid money handed to them in wages,and accordingly are filthy rich,so possibly this is one reason why they are just able to waltz through.

Re: Ukuma Ta'ai footage.. : Fri Jan 04, 2013 1:59 pm  
he has a personal trainer and a fitness plan sent over by greg brown to stick too... not ideal but at least he will still be putting in good work

Giants still confident he will be here for game 1 of the season...

mind you ive not even put him in my first 17 as ive never seen him play and we still look very strong so no biggie if he misses the first game, but still needs to get settled in as soon as poss

need o'donnell to be ready too mind..

Replace Carney with Ta'ai and you have the same story.

Carney's problems were that he had some criminal record and that is why he did not get in. I would guess that if Ta ai had a record we would not have touched him.

I would guess that Ta ai has more of a problem to do with his ability to satisfy visa requirements ie representative honours or some such thing.
