i love how some of you think he'll actually be allowed to come

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.

he's charged with reckless wounding, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two charges of lying to police.

Well if Carney couldn't get in due to drink driving he has no chance!

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

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.

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

now now lenny play nice lol
