Can't believe Crocker hasn't got a visa. The player most qualified, unbelievable.

Give it a few months.

I can't believe how the RFL crying off to immigration has affected the number of players coming in from overseas. Yes, the RFL needed to crack down on Championship clubs giving aussies amateure visas, but this is affecting the quality of SL and jeopadising a players career witht the season fast approaching.

What is this? I thought this was due to a visa clampdown and change in rules, not a RFL clampdown? Obviously I have missed something.

Nope, but he could do depending on the saga with his partner.
