Just been informed by BullyBoxer, who is at the fans forum that they've just announced that Lynch has signed a 3 year extension.

thats strange gledhills there too and he says there still on about OSV and havent said anything about lynch



micks finally caught up and confirmed it - brilliant news

Great news. Good news management too.

excellent news that.

great news , adding hall in to the mix and that beaver wants to stay and we want him to stay , i dont think we have too much to worry about in the forwards

Yessssss. Better than any prop currently on the market. Best news that we could have hoped for.

Mark (BullyBoxer) = sane.

Mick =

Outstanding news, I was beginning to wonder if the Cas rumours were true. Seems the people in the know in Cas.. actually know jack!

Let's get Menzies tied up now..

Absolutely thrilled, just got back. And who predicted it?

Fan-blooming-tastic.


Just goes to show we are still a bigger club than Cas!

BRILLIANT NEWS!!!!



AND

if you read our latest thread about lynch on our board you will see that the people in the know at cas, do know jack

I wanted him at Hull Fc... nevermind. Well done Bradford, things are looking up

Rejoice, rejoice...

Good news, I wonder what changed, because I completely trust the person who told me that him going Cas was nailed on, they'd never been wrong before.

On the face of it, it would seem he has decided that Bradford is, after all, a club with a good future that will be going places. Maybe he did not always think that, but you'd have to assume he must now. So by implication he has placed his trust in the club and the coaching staff.

Maybe that's something else he should be seen as a role model in?

And yes, brilliant news - one of the best bits of news we could have hoped for.

cas couldn't or wouldn't pay what he was asking for

This news really is better than announcing a major new signing for next year. Yes, we can all say that we need this position and that position, but the bottom line is we've just signed one of the best props in the league to us for 3 years, and he doesn't need any settling in period.

And I still don't get how Tony Smith manages to overlook him.

As is always the case. It's always "nailed on" until it proves to be wrong. At which point, fans of whichever club lost out on the signing blames money and the player wanting too much. It's never ever that the player just wanted to play for another club.

We only see it a few dozen times a year.

i would have loved lynch down at cas and so would he coming from some of the cas fans who know him or people around him so if we were in the mix for him why hasn't he signed.
one of the guys in the know who i believe what he says is that our CEO wouldn't fork out whatever he wanted in salary which is pretty understandable if he wanted a hefty contract as we are over paying for a lot of our players at the moment.

maybe you just beat us with an offer that was too good to refuse.

As Andy was probably looking for his last contract I would imagine that the length of the contract (and therefore stability) would be the most important element, rather than a big salary hike. That is unless you could earn the same in, say, 2 years, but then you have to take into account the extra year of tax allowance on earnings yo get from the 3 year deal.

Three year's pay in two is worth far far more than any tax implication. And the taxpayer would anyway still have the PA and the basic rate band available for year three.

I guess then that we can say that no-one offered him a two year deal anywhere near as good then. And, at 30 ish, it is fairly brave to offer a 3 year deal. (Was Morrison on 1 or 2 years when he first signed?)

Great news this. Suddenly life seems worth living and the sun is shining.

He is the Lynchpin of our team and it would have been a low blow if he left us for the likes of Wigan.

Classic!
