Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

The case isn't due to be heard until the end of April, surely he will have a visa imminently, to start the season. |

Indeed, I am only guessing but I presume a visa can be revoked or reviewed?
A conviction would almost certainly make reapplying more difficult I would have thought! |

Perhaps this is part of the reason Bird has an "option" for a further 2 years on his contract. Since if he gets convicted, he won't be able to stay for any longer as he won't be able to get a visa (assuming any given now doesn't get revoked).

If it is going smoothly then we should hear something towards the back end of Feb. Think somebody quoted 25 days to be the expected time for a straight-forward application. Not sure on work permit times scales though. If his paperwork is granted then I expect it'll be sometime in March when we see him playing. |

I thought you had to have your work permit before you applied for your visa. |

not that clued up then, cos its a Tier 2 visa that he needs, not a work permit, well on the right side of the Pennines anyway - I don't know about Yarkshire I admit

5 weeks for a visa / around 6/8 for a work permit aslong as the applications are "staightforward".
The experience of clubs suggests these are sequential so it could be around 11-13 weeks for the process.
However Bird may still have the 'nightclub assault case' coming up in Mid March and then the more serious charges in late April. These make the process far from 'straightforward'. The british consulate will want to see papers from all relevant parties. If the Oz authorities want to take 2/4 weeks to get papers to the Consulate then everything slows down.
At best it could be early April before Bird can get his paperwork. As it is not starightforward it is likely to be after the April case. If guilty the chances are slim to zero. If not guilty he may be over here by mid May to June.

No, as I said it is a Tier 2 visa - no work permit |

The discussion was regards Crocker, who applied under the old system.

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11
