He's getting on a plane and flying off to another country, how much more of a flight risk could he be?

watching the team with and without him over recent weeks proves to me what an excellent footy player and what an asset (on the playing side) he really is, good for the dragons hopes of making the play-offs that he's on his way back!

By "a low flight risk" I mean that it's fairly unlikely that he's going to disappear in Europe and never return when he is required to... unless he's planning to disguise himself as an itinerant goat herder somewhere in Eastern Europe.

He still has a career in the game, Catalans have already said they intend to extend his contract no matter what happens and a very large number of people know exactly where he is - including those who put up the money for his freedom. Not really the profile of someone you'd expect to do a runner or even want to.

The other point is, his job is in France - and it's not the court's intention to rob a person they consider fit to be bailed of their ability to make a living for the period of time between now and any appeal is finally heard.

I wonder if he is collecting airmiles for all this travel?

Perhaps the immigration service will now do their job and prevent a convicted criminal from entering the UK

I bet they do.
