Oh I know we're doing okay without him but I just don't like how the visa seems to be dragging on. As you say though, it's probably more the efficiency of the border agency in question though.

my only real concern is being able to register him in time to be eligible for the Challenge Cup should we need him, other than that he's going to be an unexpected luxury.

He's not worried...

Jacob Miller ‏@jmilky92
hopefully arrive late this week. Fingers crossed

Am I the only one that doesn't want to see Miller in black and white for at least a couple of weeks after he arrives.

Jet lag and settling in, getting to know his team mates should take priority IMO. Otherwise IMO we are just setting expectations way to high on him

In an ideal world , I agree, he'd arrive and settle in for a few weeks, maybe not even make the side this year, but if necessity dictates then he'll play sooner.

Yes, regardless of Horne being out and certainly not against Leeds.

Assuming that we haven't already registered him, then we have until the close of business on Monday 8th July to do so to enable him to play in the Quarter Final (and hopefully beyond).

Im unsure as to wether we can register him until he's legally allowed to remain, we have time though, as you say.

Even is he arrives today I wouldnt consider him for the next couple of matches at least.After the Cats game theres a 2 week gap for the Exiles game.Let him bond with the players and learn our moves and maybe have him on the bench for Cas or Wakey

I think we can register him as long as he's signed a valid contract which has been lodged with the RFL. IIRC Crocker was a duly registered player even though he never made it here.

Didn't PG suggest somewhere that he's been sent the "playbook" to study while he waits for the visa. He's been playing recently so should be relatively match fit, so no reason why he "couldn't" play.

Yeah I think I read/heard that too. Gareth Ellis said the play book was exactly the same as Wests but some had different names.
