is apparantly set to sign for the Bradford Bulls. If granted a visa, he would return to Australia in April for court appearances.

Interesting..

I wonder whether it is a PR stunt as the likelihood of him coming this season bearing in mind the problems we had with carney and Hull are having with Crocker means it must be one of the riskiest signings of the season.

good player mind but i am glad it is not us he is coming to.

Who Carney? :wink:

Is there no integrity in this corporate game any more? This shouldn't even be up for debate.

Do Bradford fans honestly want to see this prat playing for them next season? Success at all costs? Is that it? I think I'd rather see a lesser more moral player at my club.

His biggest problem could well be a visa.
So many players are now having trouble and this bloke has history plus he's got a court case pending.
The deal is that he doesn't play in the NRL in 2009 which means he could well go back for 2010.
How many games will he play for the Bulls or any club that signs him?
