The academy players that are contracted have been told they will get paid. Whether they will be paid any win bonuses (for the 18's) or for playing in the recent 9's tournaments remains to be seen.

No, not reapply for a work permit, just change the details of the Employer.
Work permits are relevant to the person's qualifying skills appropriate to the employer's trade.
He was approved for a work permit as a rugby league coach in the UK when he joined St Helens.
This carried on when he joined the Bulls, only the employer changed and would have been registered on his work permit.
The same would apply to his joining bulls Newco.
So its just an administrative thing

So why would he be reported as ruling out other coaching jobs in the UK for that reason?

Does that affect his right to stay in the country? Ie can he only stay whilst in employment?. Thinking in terms of the as yet unconfirmed contact he's had re his immigration status mentioned earlier in the thread.

Have'nt seen that. What is the source

Its the "up to 12 weeks" to obtain a new permit that seems to be the problem. Would that apply to a Bulls Newco? And could it also be a problem for our overseas players?
