Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "If a player doesn’t get a visa before next weeks transfer deadline does that mean the deal falls through?
It should do IMO, we have a transfer deadline for a reason and a transfer can’t be completed without a visa.
Jackson Hastings at Salford and Todd Carney st Hull kr are also waiting for visas.'"
I'd say yes, because those are the rules. In Elliott's case, it doesn't matter, because his employers changed their minds about releasing him - and that's their prerogative. Anyway, I would question Leigh (or anyone) signing overseas' players at this stage, for 2018 season, because they have virtually zero time to settle in, for the 'Eights' - and that's before you factor in whether Leigh, in this case, even make the 'Eights'!
