Players in limbo
Former Broncos star Greg Eastwood is the latest player to have his UK visa application rejected, joining Greg Bird, Michael Crocker and Todd Carney on a growing list of players left in limbo.
Are UK officials being too harsh, or have the players brought it on themselves?

Rugby's NRL 13
The news that Cronulla's feeder club and the Southern Districts rugby union club are to form a partnership comes hot on the heels of Benji Marshall's bid to play rugby union in the NRL off-season.
A number of top-level players have been lost from the NRL in recent years, and we have come up with quite a formidable lineup of ex-players currently the 15-a-side game.
1. Clinton Schifcofske (Ulster, Nth Ireland)
2. Lote Tuqiri (NSW Waratahs)
3. Mark Gasnier (Stade Francais, France)
4. Ryan Cross (Western Force)
5. Timana Tahu (NSW Waratahs)
6. Berrick Barnes (Queensland Reds)
7. Craig Gower (Bayonne, France)
13. Shontayne Hape (Bath, England)
12. Sonny Bill Williams (Toulon, France)
11. Rocky Elsom (Leinster, Ireland)
10. Brad Thorn (Canterbury Crusaders)
9. Mark McLinden (Queensland Reds)
8. Wycliff Palu (NSW Waratahs)
How do you think this squad would fare if they came to the NRL as a team?
