What determines how early players come over? Why did Pele come over so early but ese'ese only coming over now? Understand with brown that he was involved in the internationals so will be allowed a bit more time off

Smith said it was down to visa processing.

We've managed to get them all here over a 3/4 week period which I'd guess is pretty decent.

I'm still scared from the Crocker and Lauaki fiasco

He also said players can only apply for a visa once their contracts come into force so guess that was 1st November? As you say pretty decent to get them here in the time frame and that Brown would be afforded another couple of weeks because of his involvement with New Zealand’s Pacific cup run. I’d expect him to be another couple of weeks but then again, if they’re allowed Christmas and New year back in Oz, he may as well come over afterwards?

Club saying 7k passes sold which has been hit slightly earlier than last year. Overall we sold 8.3k last year so on track to hit that.

Good news!
