Yes, and the split between full time and part time will be dependant on how many of the players will be prepared to accept the full time salaries that will be on offer. The new owners will inevitably be vague on the subject until they have made the salary offers and seen how many are being accepted.

If that was the case it would make far more sense to hop on a plane to Dublin.

The British consulate in Canberra issue's the visa as this is classed as the first border.

Seeing as its a little quiet tonight.Just for arguments sake if say Gene Ormsby and maybe Larne Patrick were availble for loan periods would people be happy to have them with us for a month.Just for arguments sake you understand.

I'm not sure we strictly speaking [ineed[/i Ormsby (although I wouldn't say 'no') because we are pretty well covered in the backs, but Patrick would be a definite asset. A big, tough forward who would certainly beef up our pack and go well in our division.

Just for arguments sake

Given the length of the thread I'm going to lock this one here. We can start new ones as any new signing or news on visas comes out.
