We cannot let people with driving convictions into the country.

Its a shame he didnt put on the application he was a radical hate preacher who wanted to sponge of the state, he would have had no problems then

Meh.

We've got plenty of wuality players in his position anyway so hopefully we can see some more of those promising British youngsters we're so adept at producing.

This Visa malarkey os getting a bit ridiculous. . .

Anyone know of any Australian nuns who want to play the oval ball - and are any cop? Beginning to look like they are the only one's who'll be allowed in. Meh, indeed,

yeah and you didnt want that world cup winning replacement for ellis that your fans have all been raving about really anyway

difference between rhinos situation and ours is bird was a last minute signing that we havent built our pre-season around, eastwood on the other hand was a long term signing that rhinos have planned around and if they had youngsters of the same standard then they wouldnt have signed him in the first place

Bit of an understatement there. Leeds' overseas signings are more than just 'icing on the cake' and have played a vital part in their recent success.

Whilst they add to our overall quality in our 3 grand final wins the harry sunderland trophy has gone to diskin,burrow and smithy.
Now it might take a while but what have those 3 got in common along with sinfield,mcguire,hall,jjb and in the past scruton,walker,calderwood??

Leeds, like a number of clubs, have had a good number of home grown talent come through their ranks.

Whilst I've no problem with [iany [/iteam using overseas players, I do find it odd (and more then a tad amusing) that given recent success there seems to be an ever increasing number of Rhino fans who seem to have convinced themselves that the likes of Webb, Lauitiiti, Buderus, Donald, Leuluai (and nearly Eastwood) merely [i"add to our overall quality"[/i or [i"icing on the cake".[/i

That's more icing than on your average wedding cake . . . . . . even for the perennial bridesmaid who's made it to be bride for a couple of years now

And the most recent Harry Sunderland Award winners for the Bulls were Leon Pryce, Stuart Reardon & Paul Deacon. So what?

Seriously f...ed up. Leeds and Bradford are both businesses whose trade is being restricted, and I don't see the justification.

Doesn't anybody find it strange that Eastwoods visa issues are announced hours after Bradford reveal Birds application for a visa failed?
It would not suprise me to find that Eastwoods visa issues were known by Leeds at the same time Bradford announced the Bird signing.
It could explain why Hetherington suddenly had issues with British clubs signing overseas players with legal problems.

Meaning that the overseas signings we've made aren't as vital nor the defining players in our success.
It's not that hard is it??
