Whats funny?

He's been one of their best players this year so they have done the right thing and signed him up for another year.

Totally agree.

Yes.

Missed only 1 game (compare with Buderus) and been in great form all year.

Agree, you could argue that hes been a better signing than Buderus despite the two teams results this year.

I'm just poking some fun at the Bulls as they are re signing someone who is 36 in December...

Lots of reasons to poke fun at the Bulls this yeat but menzies aint one of them.

Fair point on his performances, but it shows how average they are, that at 35 he's been their best player by a distance...

Well Seniors showing most of our boys up then.

No he's not. Ryan Hall, Lee Smith, Sinfield, Buderus, Peacock have been damn good this season imo.

Whats this, the 'i feel sorry for bradford' afternoon..

All five out the squad then!!

As for the Bulls, I dont feel sorry for them.

But you have to appreciate class.

The rugby world raised it eye brows when they signed him re: his age + injury concerns.

Alot of jokes were made + a hell of a lot of p*ss was taken.

he neutralised that with his performance on the pitch.

But he has been their best player.

Played vast majority of games + is probably one of their leading try scorers.

Earlier this week Bradford's number one fan told this very board that they were going to concentrate on the kids next season.

First signing announced after he made the claim is Steve Menzies.

True, maybe i'm being a bit harsh on the rest of our squad that is 2nd in the table...... oh no wait, we owe it all to Senior... because Senior is 33 and has been by far our best player...



Menzies is the only player imo that has played anything like for the Bulls this year.. which is a bit sad considering he's 36 in less than 4 months

So it's all on age then?

Yep. That was also what Deacon was saying at the start of this season..

so this re signing of Menzies makes me laugh a bit..

No...

Exactly.

You clearly can't have watched many of our matches then or Dave Halley, Andy Lynch and Chris Nero would have stood out to you aswell.

It's a bit stupid of you to say all this when Buderus (31) has been one of your best players when fit, although you may be regretting his wage packet due to injuries. Also Senior (33) has been a standout player for you whilst Peacock (31) has been carrying your pack and playing quite well whilst doing so.

the top 3 Bradford performers

Menzies, Halley, Nero = Average age 29

Top 3 Leeds Performers

Peaock, Buderus, Senior = Average age 31


Obviously the last bit is on opinion only, but Menzies has proven this season that Class doesn't necessarily disappear with age.

What's his wage packet?

He is something of a freak, but age isn't really an issue in this instance.

That's Danny's own Wheelbarrow he uses on payday.

How stupid. It's part of his fleet of wheelbarrow's



As for Menzies, quality player who has looked the part on the pitch when I've seen him, and I would imagine is a great bloke to have around training, someone who the youngsters can really look up to.

He might be knocking on a bit, and next year could easily end up being one year too far, but I can see why Bradford have re-signed him.

Finally, somebody other than Rhinoms and sgtwilko(sometimes) that talks a bit of sense on this board.

I talk sense too!!!!

Have you read this thread?

Only the OP disagrees with you.
