Heck of a lot of recruitment to do then, it could be to your advantage clear the decks and all that fresh faces and coach, Sheens must be looking to Aus because there's a limited supply of good English players available. other than loans
How does the Visa affect you if you have no first team games to your credit in Aus, no disrespect but I can not see players currently plying there trade in the NRL as regulars, coming to the Championship unless lots of cash thrown at them but I thought you could not get a visa unless you had played a certain amount of first grade games ?
We'll be spending significantly less than last year, especially at the start of pre-season, and even the first part of the season itself. Four still to come according to Sheens, before the kick-off. We're only managing a budget rather than a live cap now, so while it'd be good to get everybody on board ASAP, leaving it later leaves more pennies in the piggy bank.
I vaguely recall reading that the visa rules had been tightened, so off-quota (ie EU or Kolpak passport holders) non-Feds are probably the future from that side of the world.
