Looks like our new half back will be getting taxi's to the KC,been banned for drink and drive offence.

I thought that it had been stated somewhere that he'd stopped drinking. Unless you've been reading articles from 2008 about him.

Do you have a link?

Bang him in a house down Chants. Ave. Jobs a good 'un

NZ Herald

Not gonna get critical unless I see proof. However, I'd have thought that he'd known better and has made many positive statements in the press since his time at Cronulla.


Edit: Wrote this before I saw the above links, both posts posted at about the same time.

Has his visa been granted yet?

Oh FFS. We don't half pick 'em.

A pink chihuahua? Very classy!

I assume he has his visa already?

Well seeing as we can't throw murderers and terrorists out of the country due to their human rights i can't see how a visa can be denied for having three or four pints.

So he's done it whilst on the FC payroll and is a recovering alcoholic?

Not a good sign at all

What a fecking tit! So thats us looking for a new scrum half then as he wont get a visa now.

Ellis and Horne as halfs next year.

Doubt it will stop him coming, but its still disappointing.

Might prompt the club to pull out though, if he's already back on the booze despite claiming to be tee-total then they won't want to take the risk.

typical, I though pre-season was unusually quiet

Gentle said they will all be in by next week. So that should be ok... he didnt fill me with confidence personally though.
