http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 66,00.html 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

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

Do you need him. Which player do you need to cut to keep you under the salary cap. No NRL player ever comes cheap.
Anyway, think that having one EU member visa application refused because of his adverse behaviour really can not see another member country granting him entry.
From my knowledge of the UK entry regs. would suggest he will already be on the 'refused visa/entry' data base. Thus he would be a bit of a lame duck 'home alone' team member.
While I know that France often likes to 'thumb it's nose' at EU regs and even more when it involves the 'traditional' foe across the channel!! In addition can not see the RFL-SuperLeague allowing Bird's registeration as a comp. player.

Signed for Bayonne in the other game anyway, so that's an end to that.
If it's Antipodean back rowers who are currently wasting their time in jeu a quinze in France, then there's only one that I'd give house room to and it ain't Greg Bird.
