Well Chalmers and Lowe do have previous administrations with other businesses in New Zealand.

Perhaps their credit rating makes them too big a risk?

The longer we're without a bank account the more of an issue that becomes.

Could mean Toovey is never officially installed as coach and Phoenix remains a mythical animal.

..But they had the not inconsiderable blessing of the RFL.Hand picked no less...maybe pick and mix would have been the quicker option!

Perhaps the RFL didn't see this coming and have been providing banking facilities since as a result?

Still leaves is without a head coach or any overseas players for now whatever the reason.

I can't see us getting a card terminal without a cash bond

Heres a scenario 1. No visa after weeks. Toovey gets peed off and goes home. Or scenario 2 (allegedly) pay Toovey into his Australian bank, get him over here to mentor Beattie, who isn't doing a bad job, then refer to Scenario 1.

Better not get found out if trying scenario 2.

Hopefully it's all in hand. The longer it drags on after reports suggesting it was due soon the more doubts I have.

Wouldn't we have to secretly pay him in Australia via our banking link with the RFL.......

Just asking, like.

The RFL would have to be his sponsor for him to have a work visa here.

...well we are their pets.

If we're getting player sponsorship from the RFL we must be....

To say Chalmers and Lowe have got us this far with all the obstacles and barriers in their way just underlines how committed they are; just imagine what they could do with the Bulls if we had;
1. A bank account
2. A Head coach from Oz
3. Zero points start (sorry I just had to put that one in)
4. etc etc

As much as I would hate this to happen; Leigh Beattie seems to have been doing a decent job. Or has he literally just been the puppet for Toovey?

Worst case scenario, if Toovey does cut his losses and head home, would people like to see Beattie given the reigns or start searching for a new Head Coach?
