Well I was told today by an excellant source of information that because of the time that has passed, for whatever reason the coach' the club and our solicitors are all feeling that it is unlikely to happen, however Crocker is apparently still confident!

Sam Moa's visa application went the whole 25 days,
he had to phone the embassy to enquire the status of his application,at the end of the 25 day period,he was told by officials it was approved.

I'm suprised that nothing has been announced.

Crocker could enquire, now the 25 day deadline has expired, the embassy should inform him over the phone,if it has been approved or rejected.

25 working days? And also read somewhere in the NRL press that it could take upto 30 Working days... so somewhere around this week would be nice.

For some reason I'm not as confident of hearing some goods news now as I was a couple of weeks ago.

When Moa was awaiting his visa,

Richard Agar stated on the radio," Now the 25 working day period,has expired, Moa can contact the embassy,to enquire if his application has been successful"

On the British Embassy website, it does state that 25 days is the time process.

Probably because, based on all the applications we've heard about so far under the new rules, there is no precedent for applicants with a criminal record getting a visa?

Based on the applications rejected,

Eastwood and Carney had multiple discretions, in the last year.

Bird is awaiting a court trial.

Crocker's rejection was surely, not one reason (ie 4 years ago), if this was true, the would have been no point,in making another application.

no news is good news

Maybe this point has already been made, but Michael Crocker will still have the chance to appeal if rejected, as this is a new application rather than an appeal against his earlier application. If that makes sense

This waiting is doing my head in
