An if he stayed he would have been on a decent contract now and of course those missing SLrings

The point is many are suggesting their younger players where imo we should look at home first.
Kopczak is obviously better at this moment in time he's playing SL for longer but would i sign him and have another body blocking Singleton and co's path No i wouldn't and however old Moore and Griffin are they'RE both on 3yr deals and unlikely to be moved on retaining Bailey is a no brainer and we have an option to re-sign Amor so imo i wouldn't try and sign what Bradford have.
You say based on 1 GAME we need pack strenthening well it went ok against a Manly pack that was pretty decent don't you think?
We have the depth at junior level and only when you are signing ELITE players should we not consider the potential altready here and the Bulls players offer none of that imo.

I'd suggest Manly's pack was somewhat bigger and better than Sts, yes.

What, fat and slow? Talent.

In this YEP interiew with Gary H about the Bull's financial situation he does not appear adverse to Bradford having to sell some of their best payers in order to raise cash! I wonder if he's interested in anybody? www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/n ... -1-4390994

venereal disease?

are you for real, they havnt even played yet ! they are both just 19 , they would get knocked from pillar to post , playing regular sl now , we have to wait for them to mature a there bodys to finish developing , this is why griffin and moore were brought in as far as i can see, so these lads in the academy arnt rushed, and to say kopczak is is better than the youngsters weve have at the mo, would this be because kopczak is 26 and played in sl for years , our youngsters at the age of 26 could well be better than him !

The same talent Lee Smith has then

At least Pryce can still poach tries

What I'm trying to say is we shouldn't be putting off signing good players which could improve our squad just on the off chance a youngster and may come through and be better. If Singleton or Smith had played a few games and impressed then I would be more put off but at the moment I thing Kopczak would improve the team, which we should always be looking to do. If Smith and Singleton are as good as some or making out then they should have to fight their way into the team, not be put in for the sake of it.

Aye, the grass is always greener isn't it ? Just as Lee Smith discovered in his few weeks of kick and clap....never been the same since.

There's more to life than a few extra quid.

I agree with you and hopefully so does GH! We play a competitive sport and I want us to remain World Champions. Both Gary and Brian have said there is room for a quality player(s) who will add to the squad. Kopczak is good and will improve our squad. If he's available let's go for him.

It said on the beeb that they've been spending full cap all years bar one. Seriously? No wonder they're in the poop.

on the bulls page

'I have just had a text from a friend of mine this afternoon and he has said that he saw Garry Hetherington at The Holiday Inn in Brighouse and that he met with Craig Kopczak and John Bateman,i hope that this is not true
He is not the kind of friend that would rub my nose in it what with it being April Fools day,as he is an arm chair Bulls fan too'

April fools day innit?

Would definitely go in for Kopczak, Bateman, Addy, Whitehead and potentially (dependent on money) Diskin, Elima, Kearney, Sammut and Langley.

Is nine really enough?

Lots of recent play-off experience to be found there.

Bateman yes Kopczak possibly the rest no chance.
Addy, Kearney and Sammut not good enough.
Whitehead is ok.
Elima a penalty machine.
Langley maybe 2 years ago.
Diskin erm no thanks.

Can't see much beyond Kopczak, Whitehead or Bateman myself, although after Friday's game I was wishing we had someone like Sammut in reserve.

Sounds like an April Fool to me and asi posted earlier i wouldn't want any of the Bulls squad.

Dear oh dear

It would be nice to see Chev Walker back on OUR treatment table though, wouldn't it?

So you want most of the bulls team which is where in the league? Talk about no. Credability

No thanks another of Mr.Howes' young promising players who thought the grass was greener when listening to his "anywhere but Leeds" advice.

Those who are mentioning Leeds making a move for Scott Taylor from Hull KR on another thread might want to check who his agent is when considering how viable the rumour might be...

this situation with Howes is brought up a fair amount, and if true I wonder how he gets any clients. I know if I were a sportsman, and I wanted an agent I wouldn't go for one who won't / can't work with one of the biggest clubs in the competition
