He's not a bad winger at all, however he's no Tadulala, would be a good option on the right. Not a centre I dont think. Plus we'll be resigning Sykes.

Heard we're in the running for him. Hope it's true, but probably means that we won't re-sign Sykes for next season. Mind you, if we were in the running for Wing you'd have thought we'd have heard something by now. Oh well, the rumours keep us excited.

why would signing a winger have any affect on retention of a Centre?

My mistake, thought he was a centre. Good replacement for Semi if he's going.

Unless, apparently they are called Bird. When they can get bird, and be up on further charges of dropping a glass on a woman's head in a nightclub, and still get admission to the UK. Except if wanting to play for Bradford of course.

This situation makes a mockery of the system. I guess the idea of not given him a visa is to stop the wrong kind of person entering British society. Yet all he needs to do is get a French one and get in.

So the worry of him glassing someone in Britain isn't relieved by him not getting a visa as he could glass someone in Britain every other weekend.

All it does is stop someone living and working in Britain (legally) it doesn't stop him technically setting foot on British soil. So we aren't any safer through this move. Though given his conviction in hindsight the UKBA did us a favour.
