4 Barrow players have had visa applications turned down to enable them to play against Toronto in Canada

Surprised half of Toronto got in tbh . It just goes to show what a poor idea this was. Virtually all of the Toronto team are british, so no probs with their away games. British teams going there are sometimes going to be forced to play them with an understrength team. Gonna make a very easy path to SL

Seemingly Oxford had no problems with their Visa's but the Wolfpack had two players refused entry for the first home game although now resolved, Barrow have four players refused entry for tomorrows game . All the teams in this league need to apply early for Visa's as any court conviction in the last six years could cause a Visa refusal or the Nationality of the player. The Rugby League need to sort this out if the expansion into Canada is to continue.

The RFL can't dictate Canada's visa rules.

Of course they can't it's up to the individual to apply for a visa to any Country but R.F.L could advise on the time it could take and the legalities involved. Barrow were caught out after being told it could be done in 48 hours.

Shouldn't have that been in Mr Perez's business plan? After all he and his consortium are funding the venture not the RFL!

Apparently the Wolfpack are putting all the visiting teams in basic student accommodation. Not in the spirit of the arrangement to fly teams over and pay for their hotels.

Yes, Oxford complained about this right from the off, and were relocated.

In fairness they are their to play a RL match.Not have a mini bar.

The visiting teams have been on an aeroplane for 8 hours. They deserve better than a camp bed and a kettle.

I don't see complaints about their flights,do you?

Barrow seem more than happy with how they are being treated.

Lewis Charnock plays for Barrow, doesn't he? If he does, Barrow definitely are not happy!

The official Barrow social media site are reporting that they are being treated very well.

Probably been paid to say that icon_smile.gif
