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!

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

Link ?

I don't have one, I just received an email this morning, no doubt the same as Wilfs. Could be a rumour the same as the rest on here or it could in fact be true. What I would say though is that a player of MC's ability is not going to sit on his arris all year. Also given the Eastwood situation revealed this week, I would say there is certainly an element of truth in it. He does after all need to earn a few bob whilst he waits to come here.

Still told last Monday that they they have not got to his application in the 'pile 'yet so nothing is certain, he coud I guess still come but the fact that he is lining up a move to Souths indicates that his people do not hold out much hope!!

Perhaps, or they are simply being cautious and covering all bases.
