Post all rumours here.

So far we've got

The Pryce brothers, Asotasi and Luke Gale all joing Bradford next season and Kearney leaving for Wigan.

Can't say I'd be dissapointed at all with that.

Any more rumours folks have heard?

L'Estrange and Lynch to Leeds

Sounds like Luke Burgess is on his way out of Leeds. If he wasn't set on the NRL i'd have him here in a minute.

I'd heard he'd signed for Cas???

Matt Bowen

I wouldnt, if he wasnt a burgess he'd struggle to get a game in SL. most limited skillwise of the 4 brothers from what I've seen, although admittedly further advanced at moment than george or tom but they both look to have potential whereas luke seems to have reached his level already.

Certainly don't want Asotasi. He is years and years past his best.

I'd be disappointed with that!

Karl Price has never been good enough, Leon and Asotasi are passed it and Gale is good but not outstanding.

Plus arguably our best player leaving, what world are you living on?

all would be good aditions but not that bothered about asotasi. WHICH CENTRE THOUGH!!!!

Mike, are you SURE Kearney did not eat your hamster??

Brian Maclennan picked him every week because he's called Burgess? He's made 3 errors and 15 offloads in 11 games and averages almost 100 metres a match. He's young, he's British, he's different league to Hargreaves, and comfortably a match for Koppy and Scruton and years younger than Lynch.

He has come on leaps and bounds this year.

He's the definition of journeyman. We need to add quality

We're in the running to sign Matthew Wright from Cronulla.
However, he's also being courted by Japanese Rugby Union's Kintetsu Liners. They have offered a player exchange deal for their twin sensations Takahiro and Jun Wong. However, Cronulla have so far rejected the offer as they don't believe two Wongs make a Wright.

A journeyman who's only played for one club?

stop splitting hairs, you know when I said journeyman i meant in the sense of being average. scruton and lynch are both better. hargreaves and kopczak roughly at same level as burgess, although I think bryn and koppy have more improvement left in them yet. we need to be bringing in players who are a genune step up in quality over what we already have if we want improve on the field. Academic really as luke will be off to souths to join crowes burgess collection ( I only hope we can hang onto tom long enough to get a decent transfer fee when crowe finally completes the set).

A journeyman by definition is someone who has played at a number of clubs like Danny Sculthorpe. You are defining a player we call AVERAGE. Sod Luke Burgess anyway he is the weakest of the brothers.

I rate Luke Burgess, he's been Leeds's best front rower this season. He's more of an impact front rower than Lynch though so he wouldn't be a like for like replacement, if indeed we needed to replace Lynch which we don't yet. Anyway as has been said he seems to be set to go to the NRL.

As for the other rumours none of them really capture the imagination and I suspect they're all off the T&A board so can be taken with a pinch of salt.

Luke Burgess significantly better than Koppy and Hargreaves. His lazy lateral defence has tightened up, added some grunt and been a stand out performer in a hugely erratic side. To call him a journeyman is bizarre.

Well in last years thread I mentioned that I'd like to see Briggs come to Bradford and later we ended up getting him so I'm setting my sights a little higher this year ... Justin Hodges and Willie Tonga in the centres and a Benji Marshall and Johnathan Thurston HB partnership



Now all we need is a rich sheik and a Wire accountant

Cooper Cronk

Is this a 'rumours' thread or a 'wish list ' thread ?

I hope we sign Leon and Karl Pryce, If Leon can get fully fit he is one of the best players in the league, it's not as if he's been plagued by injuries all through his career. Get Karl Pryce outside a decent centre and he will score 20 tries a season.

Completely agree.
