Suggesting he has been refused a visa

Potential appeal?

Shame as he is the quality player that SL should be bringing in. Note to NRL players, behave yourself or see the SL cash cow gone!

Wonder if Hull will use that sizeable salary chunk to go for someone else?

I doubt we will, we already had a quota and cash available when we binned Dykes.

Bradford can say goodbye to Bird by the sounds of it too!

Even if it suceeds is it worth it if he only gets over with, for example, a dozen games left? Some of what he has said recently has shown he is ready to get on with life after RL, will he want to be left hanging on?

The Hull fans will riot if Bird gets here - which is sounding likely given the noise coming from the club at the moment. Afterall, it's not like he's been convicted of anything yet unlike Crocker

That's a real shame that is.

Crocker also has 21 weeks worth of bans under his belt, maybe they didn't want someone like that plying his trade in the UK?
