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. |

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.

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

There's no logical reason why a UK government office shouldn't be in any part of the UK, though, that said, the majority do seem be in London - presumably because that's the most expensive place they could find to site them. Presumably the same reason is used to site 'local' offices in places like Leeds.

I know there are a number of embassies based in Edinburgh. I wonder if maybe the one he needs just happens to be there, rather than London? Total guesswork admittedly. |

True enough. I can remember a few years back, one country (I forget which, but it wasn't anything like the USA or Soviet Union..it might have been one of those which ended in STAN, though not even one of the obvious ones, even in that much smaller group) which had its high commission down Mount St, just off Leeds Rd, in Bradford. |

What a shame with the injuries as if everyone was fit would there be a better back line (other than KR) in the league than
1. Smith
2. Ryan
3. Tonga
4. Gibson
5. Campbell
6. Aston
7. Chisholm
Certainly some strike and pace there
