Last time I heard, he's here on a Holiday Visa and awaiting the arrival of his Work Visa ..... dunno how long that should take??

I read somewhere he would have to go back to Oz for his work visa.

Ah, I got that a bit wrong. Quoting from an article here: http://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/n ... hip-opener "With Toovey arriving on a holiday visa until his move is made permanent, "

As I have said, they need to show some kind of effort or the crowd will drift away and won't even be strong enough to support a CH1 team. 2V is the most surprising thing in the whole equation. Unless he's agreed to come on a short term contract to give them the once over to see if survival in this division is even possible

Yep. It's all very vague, deliberately I assume? I've seen nothing about how long Toovey is signed up for example.

Hence why I intend to keep my options open and pay on the gate. I no longer feel like I absolutely have to be at Odsal on a Sunday. Perhaps it's partly having more family commitments but the various admins have definitely dented my enthusiasm for the sport and club.

As people have said its going to be such a struggle for you to bring players in. You missed out on another when we signed an Aussie prop on a British passport the other day and by the sounds of it we offered him more money to be part time than Bradford did for him to be full time.

Over paying for average players is what got us in a mess so hopefully the new owners continue to only offer what they can afford or deem the player is worth.

Isn't this also known as 'cutting your cloth' a practice we have been advised to do by several people who are now gloating that they are paying players more than we offered them. Perhaps BlueSox can now afford these players having just appointed Mark Moore the BedZRus supremo to their board. Perhaps Billy and Bluey had better count the crash barriers.

Is Moore part of the set up there now?

Very interesting.

Not sure that would be totally necessary, though if the border agency were to look at things the wrong way, they might think that someone who came here on a holiday visa whilst simultaneously applying to work just might be starting work early, and they might start looking at things more closely, which could slow down the procedure.

Maybe I should just stop watching all those border control programmes on Sky Living or maybe anyone coming on a holiday visa and intending to swap it for a work one ought to check out the pitfalls by starting to watch Sky Living..
