Dunno what time on Friday the T&A posted the squad or when it was given to them. Bongser is merely asking for solid facts

Lawrence Okanga also on twitter saying he has signed for Bulls

Think players can be registered with rfl While there still waiting for work visas to arrive. We can still add in any other registered player to 19th spot so no negative side just keeps our options open.
Could also be another new player that we haven't announced yet. Didn't roger say there were a couple more on way last week.

Appears he already has a profile page:

For those of us who missed the memo...

Lawrence Okanga? Who he?

I don't know, but that DOB says he's only 17, so it looks more of a signing for the U19s than the first team.




The Bulls themselves announced that 19 early on Friday afternoon (but after midday). Perhaps it's as has been said where the player is registered but waiting on a visa.

He's been playing 19s rugby this season i believe. So presume its a first team contract.

Which leaves us all still in the dark. Anyway, it's now very early on Sunday morning (but after midnight)

so Bongser will retire uninformed.

God Bless the North of England and All That Travail in Her.

Tonga has to go to Scotland on Saturday to get visa sorted and he will available on Sunday

how does that work then?. Its a UK work visa he needs. So he would need to leave UK for paperwork. last time I looked Scottish independence vote had failed.

Im no border expert by any stretch but its something to do with the type of visa. Tier 2 visas and tier 5 visas.
A tier 2 is the traditional one and the one we have had so many problems with. I think a tier 5 is some sort of lesser visa which you can apply for and be granted whilst still here.
As i say im no expert and im sure someone will correct me if im wrong

Couldnt get the meeting in Cardiff tomorrow then?
