I dont know the law on this but if it's not a custodial sentence would she be banned from the UK. I mean weve let worse in that that?

I am no expert on immigration but I believe it's the type of offence convicted off and what sentence it carries not necessarily the sentence given.

I would guess that Fifita and his wife have many close family members who will support them while she’s under house arrest. Also Fifita has a well paid job which will be sorely needed as they rebuild their lives and possibly pay back into the system.

The only thing that they might find impossible to cope with is his absence from his children and baby but many career people make the same sacrifice every day, military more than most.

I’d expect to see him back and maybe better than ever now that all this is no longer hanging over him and his family.

It could work either way, him being relieved that it's all over, or missing his wife and kids that in effect he'd be homesick, he seems pretty much the family man from an outsiders perspective.

I hope he stays with us however I would totally understand if he decided to leave and return home

Re: Pauli Pauli signs! : Fri Nov 24, 2017 11:41 pm  

I really hope he stays & he's back in Wakey come January & also everything works out for the best for Big Dave & his family. I think deep down it will, but obviously, you never know for sure.
Imo he's one of my favorite players and one of the best Props we've had in years and it would be hard to replace that kind of player.

If the worst did happen I know it won't be because he doesn't want to be over here playing for Trinity and will be because what's best for him and his family. Although It will free up another quota space and another Prop we'll be on the lookout for. So I'm wondering if the team, maybe Kear at the WC, have got their eyes on anyone if the worst happens.

I would guess that she already has a visa... so unless she breaks the law here there shouldn't be a problem ... until it comes time to renew!

If the worst scenario was to happen with Dave, then maybe they could have s word with his brother.

Wouldn't need to do a name or squad number change.

Think his try at the end was legit, and should have been awarded.

Before any comments there, not putting England down, but I think it was

Mr & Mrs Fifita have 3 year visas in place.

I thought it was a loose carry tbh especially after I watched it a couple of times. Dave's brother is a bit prone to those. Wilkin I think was trying to create a bit of controversy in the studio about the call, when he knows if that was a SL game, it would have been a knock on all day long imo. I think that's why they didn't go upstairs but it was worth giving it a look, even though it'd have gone up to the video ref as a no try.

The final 10 reminded me a bit of a couple of Wakey games last season when we were up and stopped playing,

Do not think we will get in front next week
