Gutted to hear Tuki has had his visa application rejected twice and will not be coming, the lads gutted he can't come, he's got nothing but praise for the fans that contacted him and in particular Ste Openshaw who bent over backwards trying to help him. This ones dead in the water I'm afraid guys. Gutted.

He will probably sign for Batley !!

Wasn't it posted on here that a Visa wasn't a problem?

He must have a Mastercard instead.

I don't know whether it was me but I posted saying that Richie Blackmoore's took ages to get sorted but it got there in the end so I thought Tuki's would get sorted sooner or later
I know we've got a bigger squad but with Ostick being forced to retire it would of been good to of had a big unit like Tuki Jackson available.

I here Simon Finnegan's retired with immdiate effect

I see now Frank When it was said the retiring player works for the club & with Michael working for the community trust & having 2 shoulder operations it seemed obvious to me

Not a surprise.

Derek B said at the LISA meeting before Xmas he was a centre come second rower.

Well I wouldn't see him getting a start in centre before Armstrong, Littler or Gardner and the Backrow nailed on Tommy and Matty Sarsfield so no great loss and presumably a saving on the salary cap?

I'd personally like us to stick to giving local lads a shot and I think Briscoe, Bullock and Bate can all step up this year along with a top young prospect Hankinson who's been brought in from Salford.

Also I notice on twitter Tau Likus son been named in 20s squad for tomorrow nights game that's an interesting one as I heard Wire had signed him!

He has been released from Warrington.

Perhaps we should put in a third appeal and get LONDONS agent to do the appeal , they ve just signed Tongas fullback from the WorldCUP

But he is an International and complies with the Visa rules Jackson doesn't, just like the guys Whitehaven Hull KR Rochdale etc have signed.

As Fred has noted, you have explained why it is OK in your own post.
