Or we're living Time's Arrow. Since signing Iestyn Harris we're living the story of Bradford RL in reverse chronology sending us slowly back towards 1964.

Lets hope Toovey's visa is sorted this week as the inevitable Toovey to Saints is being touted out.

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid! If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/ Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get! Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!:13554.jpg



The problem could be he is now know as Geoff Who-He?

Wonder how long it will take for the new St. Helens coach to get his visa?

They don't have the same issues as us do they so not long I wouldn't expect!

After doing a bit of digging in the T&A I turned up these articles:

www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... all_clear/ So in this one dated 10 April the application is in.

In this article 3 weeks later it’s the same story.

www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/1526412 ... _imminent/

Now it’s another 4 weeks later…

According to the Government website all tier 2 (sportsperson or qualified coach) visas are expected to be completed within 2 weeks if they’re being applied for from Australia (assuming it has been applied for from there). Not 6 weeks. For this type of visa you have to apply from overseas. See all the info here: https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-sportsperson-worker-visa

Now Geoff could also have applied for a tier 5 (Temporary Worker – Creative or Sporting Visa). Rules are the same but they can take longer. 99% are done in 15 days. 100% in 30 days.

Either way it should have come by now. Even allowing for “issues” these were supposedly resolved and the application was in over 6 weeks ago. Unless someone isn’t telling us the full story…

Just keeping us up to date with things icon_wink.gif

There's obviously a hold up with it or we're being told porkies. Too much time has elapsed now for that not to be the case.

Saints sacked Cunningham on 10 April. I'd suggest their visa application for Holbrook went in a while after that. I'm not sure how our application for Toovey's visa could take longer if it was "in" as McFarlane and Athwal were suggesting on 10 April with all the boxes ticked and red tape taken care of.

With Pheonix the issue was that he was playing 7s rather than rugby league and so was not deemed relevant to the application. How long ago was Toovey an NRL coach? Could it be that it was too long ago to be deemed relevant?

When my club didn't exist it was still bigger than yours:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_8.jpg



It was about a year. Slightly more perhaps.

2015 I think for Toovey.

Just looking through the application to become a sponsor (i.e. for the club to be able to apply for a visa for someone they must be a listed sponsor)

Just checked the register of sponsors and Bradford Bulls 2017 is on there icon_biggrin.gifANCE: Not sure when we went on.

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... onsors.pdf

So we’re just waiting for the Home Office to process the visa, assuming it is submitted – they must be satisfied with our banking arrangements for us to be a sponsor. That’s good enough for me – for now!
