Whilst there is cause for some doubt, I would expect that both Bradford and Bird's representatives would have looked into the chances of a visa.

So there must be at least you would assume a reasonable chance of him obtaining a visa!

you would have thought the NRL & cronulla representatives would have looked into his chances of beating his charges before banning & sacking him too...cos if he's found not guilty he can sue the both of them for for the aussie equivalent wrongful dismissal..

I'm not aware of the contractual obligations between Bird and Cronulla.

Bradford are taking a punt on him getting off on a technicality. Not sure what he's been charged with, is malicious wounding, perverting the course of justice or both?

I think I read that his g'friend is saying it was an accident (she must have slipped and fell into his glass!) and so the whole dodgy affair of trying to get his mate to cop the charge is what they are hitting him with.

Which part of not yet convicted don't you lot understand? icon_eek.gif

He hasn't been found guilty of anything, which makes it very likely he'll be given a Visa.

It wasn't just drink driving that carney was convicted for, he was also involved in a police persuit, where he failed to stop.

"Players banned in the NRL should not be able to simply sign with a British club and this is an example of impotence from the Rugby Football League.

"There is a lack of leadership and frankly it is disappointing that a club should want to sign him."[/i

Also, I think Greg Bird's manager should have a rethink on his commentsyet"

Quote: saints35 bulls0 "www.leaguehq.com.au/news/news/bird-signing-slammed/2009/01/19/1232213527517.html

Gary Hetherington has his say.

[i"The signing is a blow to the reputation of the Super League," Hetherington told AAP as the Rhinos prepared to travel to Orlando en route to the UK.

"Players banned in the NRL should not be able to simply sign with a British club and this is an example of impotence from the Rugby Football League.

"There is a lack of leadership and frankly it is disappointing that a club should want to sign him."[/i

Also, I think Greg Bird's manager should have a rethink on his commentsyet"'"


Aka.. 'Shit, the bulls have signed a quality half back and could be a threat this season' icon_biggrin.gif
