So a driving conviction=an alleged serious assault?
It could be, but not likely.
Anyone know what Eastwood's transgression was and when?
Did he "forget" to put it on his visa (or whatver it was) application?
It does look like the immigration authorities are really going overboard now.
In future the second question to any prospective acquisition from down under must be, list all your crimes and misdemeanours past and pending.

Of course, what he should have done was join a political party, say the Taliban, and launched a rocket attack on an embassy while travelling at 45mph in a 30 zone. Then he would have been offered a passport and a job in security at the MOD.

Not trying to play down whatever Eastwood did - but wasn't GH's point that Bird was banned from the NRL therefore other Leagues shouldn't be offering an escape route?

indeed, but mick doesn't let facts get in his way

OK ta

Mick, carry on.

Since when was he banned from the NRL? (opens up another can of worms).

sorry, 'de-listed' and under the terms of the agreement unable to play for another NRL team.

C'mon flipper you know "voluntary de-listing" isn't the same as been unable to play for anyone else down under
