Post subject:  superleague's backdoor entrance for birdbrain
http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 66,00.html :lol: A NEW twist has emerged in the Greg Bird saga, with French rugby league powerhouse Catalans the latest club interested in picking up the pieces of his career.
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal that Bird's management has been in discussions with the Super League club, in a bid to gain a backdoor entry to the competition.

The move is intended for Bird to bypass visa restrictions that have blocked him from entering the UK and taking up a three-year deal with English Super League club Bradford.

Catalans officials have confirmed their interest in Bird after manager Chris Orr contacted the Perpignan-based club last Friday. :lol:

No, he wouldn't surely. An Australian passport would permit short term travel into the UK surely? A lot of the NL clubs have used Aussies on holiday terms before.

why is it a backdoor loophole? Catalan has every right to sign him if they choose to.

:shock: CRONULLA Sharks' rising Kiwi star Fraser Anderson's move to rugby follows the decision by his Sharks team-mate Dustin Cooper to also take up a Japanese rugby contract.
The Sharks yesterday denied any moves had been made, but they are likely to begin negotiations with off contract Melbourne player Michael Crocker, who has played under coach Ricky Stuart for Australia and at the Roosters
