Nah, plenty of family in Rastrick though. Waring Green area myself. Why?

Your choice of Burgess over Graham, evidently a blinkered Bulls fan.

As long as Bradford never sign Jamie Lyon I’ll remain the happiest rugby league supporter in the world. After the way Bradford dominated me when I was a kid I can’t go through that again. They can sign Darren Lockyer, Joe Westerman, Richie Owen and them other world cup looser from Australia. But if Bradford every and I mean ever sign Jamie Lyon and your likely to see me drowning my sorrows for months on end - the mans that good.

No, Is "buderus is likely to spend more time on the sidelines"?

As i understand there are doubts about whether he will even start the season, plus his age and the fact that he has just come back from a major injury, would suggest that yes there is a good chance he will be spending time on the sidelines.

and getting contract money?

If so, nice piece of business for him.

I do however think he will turn out in the Rhino's colours!

Of course he will, he's here for two years, but there always a chance an older player coming back from a major injury, will spend time injured, you cant know in advance but i think its fair to say that buderus will be more at risk than anyone at leeds.

sooperdooper league bending rules/dispensations etc will no doubt come to the fore

Whilst there is cause for some doubt, I would expect that both Bradford and Bird's representatives would have looked into the chances of a visa.

So there must be at least you would assume a reasonable chance of him obtaining a visa!

you would have thought the NRL & cronulla representatives would have looked into his chances of beating his charges before banning & sacking him too...cos if he's found not guilty he can sue the both of them for for the aussie equivalent wrongful dismissal..

I'm not aware of the contractual obligations between Bird and Cronulla.
