if he gets turned down thats it IMO

its no good for the club to have such a large chunk of cap unavailable, and he won't be very match fit after months out of the game (don't forget he missed the last weeks of the season as well)

and whilst it would be awesome if he's does get here, to be honest we are in more need of another back than another forward with Lakuaki on the way.

I think you will find that he played in the grand final, which is the last game of the season It was in that game that he picked up his rib injury which ruled him out of the world cup.

Just heard from down under that he will be playing for Souths this season. He will be here next year, as his minor brush with the law will be over 5 years old and it will not be recognised.

We just need him to stay injury free and away from the law and we will have him for the World Club Challenge next season.

Its in the Sydney Herald

If thats happened it means it been in discussion for days as he is a Hull FC contracted player.

Furthermore, would it mean he is on loan to them effectively, in which case does he count on our salary cap or have we released him from his contract?

Heard From Aus that their media are saying that if he is unsuccessful and his advisers think he will be, then he is all ready to drop in at Souths almost immediately for a year, and will join us for 2010 and 2011 when his conviction will be 5 years old and lapsed!!

NB Sorry already covered by above post!

Given that he has been unable to fulfill his contractual duties this year I fail to see how it affects our salary cap this year, other than leave a huge hole.

I would say he signs for SS for 9 months, plays and sorts his visa out then joins us for 2 to 3 years.
