Yes, that would be good news

Maybe not but I would pick Kearney in the halves at Wigan, probs not at Warrington though.

Great news, now get Royston, Ah Van and Whitehead signed up.
(I don't recall Whitehead being signed up already?)

Great news and I can't wait to him and Leon doing there stuff next season at Odsal.

Agree with the above, Ah Van and Royston next up please.

Fantastic news. Awesome. Again putting some solid foundations in place for the future.

Wouldn'tgo near Leon to be honest Mick. Hes not played for a year.Has all the quality in the world and would demand a big wage. I still think briggs could do the job for us once he has put some beef on and works on his defence.

Although with Kearney getting signed up do you think he will play at 6 with Royston at FB?

is this online anywhere? seems strange its not on bulls website and that club gave connor a bum steer for todays t&A article. nothing on sporting life or bbc yet.

He's announced it himself in an interview on Talksport this afternoon as well as his twitter account.

Oh and...

was just a little nervous when only source was a radio interview only a couple of posters had heard and a twitter account setup yesterday. lets face it macca you have been known to do the odd wind up in the past

up on sky sports news now and connor confirms so alls good.

Great news for club. wonder whats happening in background to give both l'estrange and kearney the confidence to commit to such long deals. Suspect they've been told who else we're signing for next year.

He's announced it on his twitter, twitter.com/#!/BKKearney Quote Pleased to say be a Bradford bull for the next 3 seasons. Really exited great bunch of guys and look forward to win some titles'"

Me? Surely not



I heard the interview on talksport on my way to ASDA and nearly pulled my car off the road. I really wanted to be the first to post it on here but I can't post on this forum off my phone. Raced round ASDA which was difficult with all the kids and old people in there (they really should be banned from Supermarkets and town centres at weekends) only to get home and find I'd been beaten to it.

Duffy has confirmed it on Twitter.

Great news!!

Suspect club won't be too happy he seemingly jumped the gun, mind!

not sure he did TBH. bit of a coincidence that he just happened to join twitter yesterday. Almost like it was in preparation for making the announcement. And think club will be quite pleased that announcement was made on a national radio station, raising profile of club and making it more attractive to sponsors. I'd hazard a guess that andrew bennett had a hand in arranging it all.

I'd noticed the coincidence with him just joining yesterday, as well as him describing himself as a Bradford Bulls player. tbh I never listen to Talksport, so I'd not really twigged the national station implication. Knowing AB's marketing and new media credentials, you may have a point?

Great news that another quality player has committed himself to the cause! We are building well. Royston and Ainy next please Mr Duffy

Ah vans agent was in yesterday for talks connor has said. And when asked if connor knew something we didnt about something in pipeline he said yeh but he cant say! wonder hmmmm

think we'll see remaining OOC players who we want to retain being signed up quite quickly now the big money ones are all sorted out.

Ainscough, walker, ah van, royston, herbert. take your pick

Defos: Ainscough, ah van, royston,
maybe: walker
NO: Herbert

raynor maybe 2.... hes done pretty well

the only ones I'd say were definites were ah van and royston.

I'd imagine we'd keep at least one out of ainscough,raynor and halley.

after that decisions on remaining OOC players would depend a lot on who we have coming in and keeping a decent level of backup and balance in the squad.

Would have to be Ainscough for me

Out of those three, I'd rather keep Ainscough. He has age on his side compared to Raynor, and probably has more pace (and size) than Halley.
Hopefully Finigan will be given an extension too.

Unless we bring a winger in (or a venter who can cover Wing) then I'd guess we'd be keeping at least 3 of current wings plus finnigan. Ah van would top of list then add 2 from ainscough,raynor,Halley and crookes

To be honest if we kept ainscough and raynor id be happy. Its centre we struggling

Maybe not but both briers and hodgson are knocking on a bit and he could easily slot in for either if they get a rest..I know Bk wouldnt want to be a bench player but if one of those went off and Bk rolled on it would be a frightening prospect..there would be no let up in attack at all.
