Meh, we're not short in that position.

It won't affect us winning SUper League, again.

Yeah I agree. Would have been nice but nothing more than a nice bonus.

Indeed, would it not be better to bring in another academy lad?

it is good news.......................for Danny Allan.

What was his driving conviction for? I wonder if Hetherington was aware that he had signed a player with previous.

Maybe that should be your avatar? In all seriousness does anyone know the details of his conviction and was Gary H aware?

The Sporting Life link mentions a string of speeding convictions, a string for goodness sake, the lad's only 21. Has he got a brain? Do we want him if he's so naive that he appears (if the story is true) to keep committing the same offence?

My German colleague racks up 5-10 speeding offences a year on the autobahn, yet he is entitled to live and work here.

Welcome to our world

21 year old lad in driving over the speed limit shocker

I am not defending him but he won't be the first young lad with a bad record of speeding and he won't be the last!

Surely if it was down to his driving convictions conditions could have been placed on his visa banning him from driving when over here rather than simply saying "no"

Did Eastwood (or his agent) tell us about his previous when we entered in to contract talks with him in the middle of last year ?

We should also go back to the point of when the paperwork was lodged with the British Embassy in Canberra .... Have they been sat on the documents since we signed him months ago or was the brown envelope handed to them a couple of weeks ago ?

What has our MP done about it ?

Was he applying for a passport or visa or both ?

On the plus side, I can see it being well in to the season before he gets here and that will just give us the right sort of boost for the run on the Challenge Cup. All being well, we're going to get a fresh player just at the time in the season when some of the rest of the squad will be starting to take a few knocks.

so you drive under the speed limit every second that you're in your car? wouldn't like to be in a car with you, as you either drive stupidly slowly, or every few seconds your looking down at the speedo rather then the road ahead.

The word "limit" in the phrase "speed limit" is actually the maximum speed that you can legally drive to - there is no minimum speed unless you're on a motorway, hence there is no such thing as "stupidly slowly". You'll also find that if you stop trying to treat speed limit signs as compulsory speeds then you won't need to keep checking your speedo.
