Crocker's another one who couldn't get a visa.

6731_1299024498.jpg [quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

Although it's frustrating to go over old ground (although I appreciate Salford fans won't see it as such) the chances of Chase getting a new visa are zero. Zilch. No chance. At all. The regulations set down in law are clear - you cannot be granted a visa if you have an 'unspent' criminal conviction (or even a 'spent' conviction within the last five years for a violent crime!).
See the case of a soldier who served in the British army, was married to an English woman and has two English children. Due to a conviction (through military court) he was refused a working visa.

Sorry Salford fans, there is no chance. However, it poses a bigger problem for Cas as the NRL teams know they can pick him up for nothing when his current visa expires and Cas will get nothing for their prized player.

| Also, Billy Twelvetrees. (Just on the strength of the name). If things go well he'll then transfer the name to one of his horses.

Simms left the club a while back, his role is now being undertaken by Graham Lowe.

| Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Less than 24 hours to the Big Announcement!'"
Only two people in the entire world know the names of all the Salford signings: Dr. Marwyn Koukash and Brian Noble. Negotiations have been conducted in conditions of absolute secrecy, with different player managers and the players themselves knowing only the fate of one or perhaps two other players.
But within a matter of hours the entire rugby league world will know.
These new signings are players who will strike fear in the hearts of the Big 8 teams' players, coaches and fans.
This announcement will possibly change the way the rugby league world thinks of Salford for a generation to come.
