I’m sure given all the circumstances currently there’s bound to be a bit of a delay. At this stage I’m not worried. I’ve asked Peter Smith on Twitter this morning to see if he knows anything from our side about it. Will see if he reply’s

There are a few players that’s visa’s are taking a while. Sione for example, there are others, so at this stage I’m not worried.

Although Rhinos do not decide who does and does not get Visa's, you would have hoped they would have done their research to establish whether it was a formality or not. I wouldn't be announcing a signing if there was any risk to him not getting a Visa. Time will tell.

Do you believe this is due to his past or just how the world is in regards to delays, if others are having the same issues then might just be a waiting game rather than replacement job

Probably all manner of post Brexit applications to be sorted.
And in any case, the seasons start has been put back now

We've confirmed the signing of King Vuniyayawa on a 1 year deal believe he was a free agent after being released by New Zealand Warriors in NRL. He's a Fijian international only 25 and comes in to replace Seumanufagai. Our pack looks better now all we need it to get Tetevano over here once He's visa is sorted

Could be a masterstroke this one, young, ambitious, won't be too heavy on the Salary cap.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Sat Jan 16, 2021 9:28 am  

Why waste a overseas spot on below average players. Would rather let a Leeds youngster have more game time at prop. Clearly a desperate filler signing from Leeds.

Username checks out.

Yep - I’ll take that.
Young, hungry, clearly not just come for a pay day.
And won’t be heavy on the salary cap.

Certainly beats Casty on a one year deal....
