Quote ="AaronBull"I think people need to stop comparing Karl to Leon. For one, their careers have taken entirely different paths, and they've made their names in RL playing in different positions (even if Karl did play some 6 in academy rugby).
I'm delighted tbh, not just as a fan of Bradford, but for Karl. I know he's stoked to be back at Bradford and I have no doubt he'll be giving it everything in 2012. Will be a very, very shrewd recruit and a great addition to our backline. I see Purtell - Lulia - Karl - Kear as a good backline, and a much improved one.'"
You're right. There's absolutely no value in comparing the two of them. Same surname, different characters, different skillsets, different positions, different players.
I'm happy for Karl if he's ready to take the opportunity but I'm not quite as excited about the signing as you are. I still remember the play at Quins last year where his dreadful pass led to Whitehead's breakaway try and effectively killed off the game.
I know that's an isolated example but too often his play has been dotted with moments of sloppiness. I hope to be proved wrong.
