Heath is classed as French isn't he? Well probably not. I'm just throwing around theories here.

Out of interest, when Hendo was here was he classed as a quota player because he was born in Torquay if i remember correctly. Anyone any ideas?

Wasn't there a similar problem with Finnegan? And we managed to talk that round.

Well he was named in the French WC squad

iirc they wanted to name but couldnt get permission for him to be classed as french.

It was his Great Grandfather not his Gradfather who was French I believe.

"Orr said Walker's visa application remained on track "

If that's the case he must have documentation from a club showing the details of a contract capable of supporting him and any dependants. If his agent is truthful in saying it's the Bulls we must have given him that documentation.

Odd.

wonder if we offered him a contract subject to him getting a visa and issued documentation to allow him to apply ( to avoid another bird situation). orford subsequently became available and we went for him but neglected to withdraw offer to walker. potentially could be a breach of contract type situation.

Possibility of the club applying for special dispensation for the signing to prevent litigation and bad publicity for the club and sport?

I'd keep Nero over Walker any day.

losing nero wouldnt allow us to sign walker. ones non-fed trained the others full quota

Well then we're not getting Walker ?

dont know. nero is nothing to do with it though.

Well I doubt that any of Menzies, Hall, L'Estrange, Orford, Kearney aren't actually coming.
