The only one of those who didn't play SL last year is Sam Tomkins.

I doubt you'd have been able to find too many Hull fans who would claim that Brough was better than Horne, even at 4pm on 27th August 2005.

Hull hardly 'lost' Brough though - they didn't even want him when Cas bought him.

I doubt Brough would have walked out on Hull for either Cas or Wakey.

shame that didnt work out.

how did tevita latu get in then.

he got in before they changed the visa process

be interesting on bird then

also the fact thats its wigan might make it different.

edit : hudds should just sign bird then, he hasnt signed with wigan yet i think

hudds should'nt sign bird at all...he's another violent thug we don't want

bird will be in SL.

he might as well go to a club that could use the help like hudds than wigan

he won't get a visa

Probably not,it appears that any criminal conviction,including drink driving,can lead to the application being refused.

and rightly so..

Nah, let em all in I say!

I would think the biggest reason he didnt get a visa was that he didnt get the number of 1st team games in for last season to be granted a visa for this season. He had early season injury and then the sacking would not have given him the % of matches in NRL to be granted a visa to play in Super League.

Dobson of Hull KR was aware of this rule hence the reason he arrived mid season last year as he did have the % the year before and at the time of signing with Carney holding his position in the first team, new that he would not meet this % unless he signed a more then one year deal for last and future seasons.

Where will Carney go from here, I wouldn't imagine any NRL wanting him with his track record.
