Far from sure that's true, to be honest.
It's certainly true that it's necessary to be in one's own country to [i:1hvr6s1mapply[/i but not to take receipt of it. He could go to Australia house if it were necessary, that's technically in Australia!

| Quote bowlingboy="bowlingboy"To be fair I don't think someone with big Geoff Toovey's reputation as a professional would open themselves up to looking ridiculous by accepting job then high tailing it when it looks like been to much hard work.
I wasn't to sure about Chalmers and Lowe but from what they have done so far I think they have every intention of making a real go of it, whether its by their own steam or they are getting it off the ground for A.N.Other is to be seen,
which points to Toovey been involved in the master plan and staying.
With Tooveys appointment in the first place and appointments to the managerial staff from Salford it has Koukash written all over it.'"
If Koucash is behind this there is no way he would be able to keep quiet about it.

I think there are rules around the switch from tourist to work visas though. I believe you have to leave the country and then come back in on the work visa. There are some wierd and wonderful rules for these things!

Report on TotalRL late last year suggested that Bailey was looking to carry on playing.
On twitter, he thanks HappySmile Dental - but they are just a cosmetic teeth whitening company.
Not saying he's signing for us - but it's pretty clear that he hasn't sailed into retirement with a new set of pristine post-rugby career teeth. Would be a great signing for us - despised him whenever he played against us for other teams - his mongrel would be invaluable to our chances of staying up

I think he would. If it means he benefits he's intelligent enough to hold his water and intelligent is one thing he really is.

Agree he'd be a great signing - provided he's committed. He wasn't a big success at HKR or Cas.

Thought he was solid enough last year for Warrington though. Under someone like Toovey who wont take no grief either should be ok

Agreed - not to mention Lowe in the background - he doesn't suffer fools gladly and if we can be sure of one thing, it's that we'll only be bringing in players who he's looked in the eye to see if they've got the stones for a fight

Just repeating information released by the club, it might even have been from Toovey himself in one of the early interviews.

If that was the case it would make far more sense to hop on a plane to Dublin.

The British consulate in Canberra issue's the visa as this is classed as the first border.

I'm not sure we strictly speaking [ineed[/i Ormsby (although I wouldn't say 'no') because we are pretty well covered in the backs, but Patrick would be a definite asset. A big, tough forward who would certainly beef up our pack and go well in our division.
Just for arguments sake

| Given the length of the thread I'm going to lock this one here. We can start new ones as any new signing or news on visas comes out.
