According to the Warrington Guardian he is due to fly in this Sunday.

He can come in on a tourist visa, just cannot play until he has a work visa. Not sure if he can train.

My understanding is that you can't train either (from what I remember reading about the situation at other clubs). Of course he can still get settled, the club can give him a fitness programme to follow etc

At least the advantage of not getting a game in Australia is that he should be joining us injury free.

Tricky things those airplane steps.

Sounds like the next Windrush scandal.

The Home Office are probably demanding he produces a million pieces of paperwork and proves that he is crap at rugby before recognising him as being British.

I think many tourists do swimming and physical activities without problems.

That's not what 17.4m voted for..

I do seem to be confusing you a lot recently, I should make more allowances for you. I meant train with the club.

To be fair unless someone from the RFL is following him all day how would they know if he trains with the Squad or not. We have loads of behind the scenes training sessions so he can still train with the team, he's more than likely already got his Visa as we've not just signed him over night. We will have been working on this for a while and we've clearly kept the number 16 open for him.

I suspect it is exactly this, signed subject to visa, could only be announced once visa granted.

Clean slate for the player and a fresh start... I certainly wont be judging him on some past signings we have made.

As someone pointed out... There have been many players that didn't set the NRL on fire, that have come to SL and looked very good... lets hope he falls into that bracket.

Whilst not exactly thrilled about this signing I'm going to be fair to the lad and the club.

We were in the market for a prop and we've signed one. According to reports, he was talking to a couple of other clubs, so we had to put up a decent show to get his signature. For all the slagging off he's getting on social media already, about 'not being good enough'; if he had gone elsewhere we'd have all been ranting about how we let a prop with a decent amount of NRL experience slip to another club.

The best forwards that come over from the NRL tend to be those that arrive with the least amount of fan fare. He's a big lad that can come off the bench and that's all we need.

Exactly, unless the Home Office has an agent at Padgate campus we are probably OK.

Exactly. We can only judge him on performances for us. He cannot be any worse than Asotasi and I bet on a lot less £
