Would his visa be linked to his passport? If so surely this would have been picked up on at the time the application was lodged.

By the sounds of it Cust and Tommy will be the starting halves but with Tommy playing reduced games and Smith stepping in.

Isn't Hardaker out for the start of the season?
If that's the case Im pretty sure Smith & Cust will start unless Cust can kick goals.

It didn’t sound like they expect French back for R1 when Peet spoke to John Davidson on his podcast.

If that is the case hopefully Hardaker is fit but I’d be tempted to run with Field at fullback in truth. It’s so important nowadays to have somebody who can ball play at the back and combine that with the pace he has and he could be a big weapon for us.
