Hardly a big issue. A few hours down to London on train, visa obtained, few hours back on train. A day in training missed. No biggie.

No issues with Toronto, the issue/blame lies with those 3 players and why they find themselves in this position. Only themselves to blame.

The guy who couldn't get a Visa to play for Huddersfield is struggling to get a Visa to enter Canada? Shock.

Whatever the reason for individuals struggling to get a visa, the simple fact is that teams could be prevented from selecting their best available team. That cannot be acceptable, in any competition - especially one as vital as this.

Agreed, Hull KR definitely need to look at that when they are employing people

Along with every other club in SL, I would wager, for next season! Of course, then there would presumably be issues with 'equal opportunities' in this country, if clubs were to discriminate against players with criminal records?

Spot on Alan.

A criminal record in any walk of life / employment makes life more difficult. This is something that an individual needs to consider before they commit an offence, and something that employers need to consider when they employ them. My job requires me to travel - a criminal record would make that a hell of a lot harder and there's no reason why it should be any different for rugby players.

It's amazing how people suddenly become apologists for convicted criminals when they're professional sportsmen.

There is no requirement for employers to treat people with criminal records equally to those without when deciding whether to employ them. Quite rightly too!

Well no, its a Toronto problem, its creating a discriminated sport no other club in the competition have visa conditions.

we have that in superleague, see greg bird not signing for bradford, but signing for catalans, same competition, different countries, different visa conditions.
