Think he deserves special praise atm. He's definitely hit great form, he seems to be thriving on confidence, his kick returns have been world-class, his defence has been rock solid and he is offering us so much more in attack compared to Platt. Now Lynch has re-signed I think he's gotta be up there for top priority with Menzies.

Definatley a better full back than Platty. Just a shame it's taken Macca so long to realise it, but it appears that he's finally come round to the fact that we are a better team when Halley is at the back.

have it on good authority mate , that he has come round too late. he won't have to wait for macca next season, because he won't be there.

You're not a Castleford fan by any chance are you?

What good authority is this? The same 'good authority' which you had Lynch at cas?

And Godwin, don't forget. lol

I really hope he's not right this time aswell. I've always rated Halley, and now he's had time to properly prove himself I think he's worth a new contract. Plus -I don't know if you attended the fan forum- It would seem ridiculous given the emphasis on having a home-grown squad, to let Halley go when he's a product of the Bradford academy and doing a good job for us.

I doubt very much that Halley will be leaving the Bulls after his run this season which looks set to continue. Macca has increasingley shown faith in Dave and I'm very hopeful that Dave will reshow the faith to the club and Macca.

Last I heard, he hadn't decided where to go next year, but there had been interest from at least one other club, which I haven't seen named on this forum yet. As well as that, I would expect Wakefield would quite like to take him after his loan spell this year.

I think we'll lose him to be honest, and I can't say I blame him. I don't think his form was particularly worthy of being left out of the team on more than one occasion that he was, and if I were in his shoes, I'd be looking elsewhere.

Saints
HKR
Leeds
Wire
Cas
Wakey
Hudds
Hull
Celtic
Salford
Quins
Wigan
Cats

Is it one of those?

No he's not a Cas fan so LOL away.

It be a shame to lose Halley after some very good performances this year. However he isn't the complete player yet so our offer needs to be a sensible one. But what would depress most fans is seein Halley leave and still having Platt at the club with a further 2 years to run...

I'd agree with that. I'll also add that I would like to see Halley extent his stay as he's a Bradford product who has been overall excellent for us this year in the circumstances, but I still have doubts about either Platt or Halley being the long term solution at Full Back for different reasons.

..and as for suggestions that halley will be off just because he thinks Macca took too long to pick him, so he's going to disapear in some sort of huff at the personal slight.. all after having a long run at FB with the full trust of the coach, then we dont need players like that anyway...but I'm sure thats not the case, and the "good authority", unless its Halley himself, which it wont be, is wrong. [iIf [/ihe does go it will be because someone else has offered him a better deal, but I suggest he'll be staying.

Thank you for proving my point from the Lynch thread

anytime, glad to be of service.




[size=75...maybe I should edit my Halley comment to be it [imight [/ibe because of a better deal??[/size

EXCELLENT news as far as I'm concerned.

But he was going to Wakey. Or Cas. They were so sure.

Ditto, I'd prefer him to stay at FB but where does that leave Platt ?

Stood with a gauntlet on the floor in front of him.

at last, we have managed to keep some young tallent instead of letting them all go to our rivals.
i think this is the first step in the right direction for macca.

Excellent.

I can't be doing with all this good news. Its makes the board too dull.

We can but hope.

Exellent news, its becoming a habit. Can't wait until Sunday's game!

I await the appearance of all those that told us that the irreparable breakdown of his relationship with McNamara made his departure inevitable. I suspect I'll be waiting a while
