Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3586021, member: 9853"] [B][I]V'landy's[/I][/B]: [INDENT=2]“I don’t think there will be any problem with visas. [U]Some of the[/U] misdemeanours are not major, so [U]hopefully [/U]there won’t be a problem and all the players from the four clubs will be available to play in Vegas."[/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2]"If you haven’t got any criminal record, it’s a five-minute process, but if you have been charged and been convicted, you have to go through an interview process. Precedents have shown us that athletes involved in such incidents are provided with visas, so we have to go through the process. We don’t believe there will be any concerns for us with any of the players.”[/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2]“We’re working well with clubs to get all the applications for players and officials submitted and resolved as soon as possible. We will deal with any issues on a case-by-case basis. I am positive that we will get the necessary visa clearance that we need and we are working with the clubs to make sure that happens.”[/INDENT] [I][B]Blake Solly:[/B][/I] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2]“Peter V’landys and Andrew Abdo have provided us a commitment to resolve the issues with visas as a matter of urgency. We have placed our trust in the NRL and their process, and expect that this will ensure the best players are available for Round 1 in Las Vegas.”[/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [B][I]Abdo:[/I][/B] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2]“The first time you do anything there will be challenges, but we are working through them. We have fields booked and we are working on the details with each club. We are working pretty hard with people on the ground to facilitate the best possible experience for the clubs. We also have access to the UFC high-performance centre and separate access to turf fields. We are now dealing with the specific requirements of each club and making sure we can meet as much of it as we can.”[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
