They're hoping he'll be here by the end of next month. |

Safe to say we've signed the most unpopular player in the Super League. This we be made even more so if he turns out to be any good.

I didn't realise that Leon, and Stuart, had been sentenced, and done their time, I must have missed that in the news.

was referring to leons prior misdemeanor- afaik pryce and reardon havent been found guilty of anything yet and if they are then my opinion on pryce returning to bulls would probably be amended. You can only judge someone on facts as proven in a court- not allegations in papers which may or may not be true.  |

Haven't they been charged and had an initial hearing? A bit more than allegations in a paper is it not?

true - but still not proved and convicted in which case I'd seriously imagine pryce's RL career would be over and him returning to bradford would no longer be an issue
when is case due? people keep going on about disruptive effect of birds case in april, but bulls have a proven halves combination to cover that situation and also rest of season assuming worst outcome. Saints season however would effectively be de-railed should pryce be convicted  |

which is exactly why I have mixed feeling about the signing - as I've repeatedly said 
I'd have pryce back based on the previous glassing incident which he's already been punished for. I would probably change my opinion based on the outcome of his current court case. Although given the current he wouldnt get in the team at his favoured position and would have to settle for a spot |

I have similar concerns Mat but if anything Bird has been sacked by his club prior to the court case whereas Leon was not sacked despite being found guilty. Even if Bird's and Leon's situ was exactly the same are we saying that lads who've been convicted (and Bird hasn't) shouldn't be allowed to work again. If he's found not guilty then we must accept his inocence and if he's found guilty it's not our problem as he'll most likely go down.

What? How do you work that one out? What if he gets found guilty of say no more than the Australian equivalent of common assault, for example? I don't think you can say "most likely" at all. |

How many Oz players have gone through the visa/w-p process in less than 10-12 weeks since the new processing came into operation half way through last season? None I am aware of.
If the nightclub assault case is still going ahead in mid March I assume he would have to appear at the case. Even if guilty he would be eligible to play in the UK.
the back end of march would be more likely and then back to Oz after around 2/3 games for the bigger trial.
If guilty on the 'actual bodily harm charge' (even if he is given comunity service) he will not play for you again. If he comes through okay then ready to go from May.
If he does not come you are no worse off. If he does you have a cracker. |
