Just waiting for Sheffield to release a statement saying it's first they've heard of it. Big boost though. Lilley and Chisholm in the halves isn't the worst combo we've had.

Bradford BULLS ARE THRILLED TO DECLARE THAT DANE CHISHOLM IS FINALLY AVAILABLE FOR FIRST TEAM SELECTION AHEAD OF THE SUMMER BASH THIS SATURDAY.
Dane Chisholm is a previous member of the Bradford Bulls first team, where his skill and abilities in the middle of the field have been well recognised.

Bradford Bulls and Sheffield Eagles have agreed an amicable settlement which allows Dane Chisholm to become a Bradford Bulls player with immediate effect.

Bradford co-owner, Andrew Chalmers commented: “We are delighted to finally have reached an agreement with Sheffield and have Dane available for selection. He is an outstanding player who will fit in extremely well to our football structure.”

“When you speak to him, you can sense his urgency to get out on the field and do what he loves. Dane is looking forward to finally playing at the Summer Bash this Saturday against Hull Kingston Rovers.”

Chisholm returned to Tong training facilities earlier today, in preparation for this weekend’s game: “It’s so good to get back at the club and around the boys to start preparing for this week. Hopefully the coach selects me.”

“I’m trying not to think about the pressure of coming back, it’s always a great occasion at the Summer Bash and there is a massive build up to the game.

“I’m not here to pull off miracles, I’m just here to do my job and hopefully help the boys start getting through their performances together.

“The way that I was taken in by all the fans both times I’ve signed is incredible. I’ve had so many tweets offering support which has certainly helps me to know this is where I want to play rugby.

“I just want to give what I can back to them and try and put a few solid performances together.”

I just hope that this can give the whole squad a confidence boost and get everyone playing like they had been earlier on in the season! Get out of Blackpool with a respectable defeat and try and push on from there!

Glad that's sorted (pending any last minute hitches).

I can't be the only expecting a statement from another club now saying he also signed a contract with them?

You're not no!

Suddenly, my ticket purchase for the Bash is starting to seem interesting. Chisholm is no one-man team, but I reckon that such a level of signing n the eve of the game will be bound to have a huge positive psychological effect on the troops, and also will hopefully let us fill all spots with people who can actually play in them.

So with a bit of luck, fair wind and wet sail, it might actually not be as big a flogging as I had feared.

Actually looking forward to it in a masochistic kind of way now.

best bit of news we had for months.

I actually thought this would be a take thread about Jamal Chisholm at Oldham or wherever he is.

Good news, won't change the result on sun but a relief to have a positive story for a change.

Won't change Saturday's result but will be a nice boost ahead of the crunch games we've got coming up in June.
Knowing our luck he'll go and get injured against KR

Definitely especially as we play sat

.

Wasn't planning on going at all but once more unto the breach dear fellows, once more.

Confirmed in Sheffield's statement that there'll also be a friendly between Bradford & Sheffield at Odsal in 2018 pre-season. They're making a big assumption that we'll still exist there...

Eh??
What an odd thing to include.
I wonder....could we be paying them for Chisholm via the gate receipts to that friendly? Sounds ridiculous but why else announce a friendly so far away from the time?

I bet that's a pretty good guess.

Possible. Least it's ended amicably and we can all move on. Weve got a great half back who can make things happen and has given everyone a lift.

So instead of losing by 60, it may be 50, but still, good to have him back.

or, from another angle, we may now not get nilled

Indeed! Can you tell I'm not going? At least we won't concede 50 on Sunday then.

Dont tempt fate now

And we paid a minimum of 10K which is a surprise - or is it a case of the owners trying to cheer the fans up a little.
A couple of big forwards from down under when the Visa problem is sorted and that will be even better.
Little steps and all that.

I haven't seen the 5 figure been mentioned anywhere except by Mick.

A couple of big forwards and a promise never to play Macani ever again

Can't see them paying 5 figures to sign someone to the end of the season surely not. Just need him to get in his mate moss's ear ha

Five figure agreement plus pre-season friendly.
