Wasn't Sculthorpe under contract for next year at Wakefield? Please tell me we didn't pay a fee ?

No and no you did not.

Thank fsck for that, it had me worried then. Seriously if the Burgess 200k is available to spend for Macca, why aren't we spending it?

Signing hims bad enough without paying for him



200k food bill for him maybe

Well that is something I suppose.

Didn't you pay us to take him? Please say that is the case.

How do you know that the Bulls aren't trying? You can only approach the clubs and they do not have to sell their players!

Nope OOC



nice try..

He's an old style English ball-playing forward like Lee Crooks. I see this as a Solomona replacement not Burgess.

OK he's not his brother but he seemed to do well for a top 3 club last season, the same cannot be said for any other of our players.

If we are serious about a big name signing I'd expect some news midway through next season. Jarryd Hayne could well be in Macca's sights



Disappointing but not down and out yet.

Hayne signed a new deal last week.

A fit Danny Sculthorpe would be an decent signing. However, there's no such thing a 'fit Danny Sculthorpe'! It's like Santa Claus and the tooth fairy, it doesn't exist!

I wouldn't get too downbeat though, with a couple more additions to your squad I seriously think you can challenge for the top 10 again next season!

I wonder whether these wannabe gloating trolls from Wakey who are currently infesting on here will be coming round pleading for support if or when the RFL decline to award their club a new Franchise?

Hmmm... yes '09 was a bad season for us

April.Cats 24 v Bulls 22
MM...Bulls 32 v Cats 16
June.Bulls 36 v Cats 22

but what's your excuse?

Your confusing capital account and current account; we may (or may not) have the Burgess money to spend on a transfer fee but that would leave us in the position of possibly having to pay more on the contract than is available under the cap.

Then again, maybe, with Sam`s move coming perhaps a bit late to make a move earlier, the 200k (plus salary cap money) is waiting in the bank to see what becomes available later. To be honest though, much as I`d like to think we may be in with a shout for any `star` becoming available I suspect we`ll go in with what we`ve got. Maybe one more.

5th Wakefield
9th Bradford

As for the franchise, if anyone really believes that clubs should be judged on their stadium and business plan rather how they actually perform on the field, the league table should be irrelevant.

I actually feel for the clubs in the lower leagues who have nothing to play for. The franchise rule is ridiculous and makes a mockery of the sport.

Doesn't matter what the fans believe unfortunately...its what the RFL believe and want that matters

. As various clubs have found out to their cost over the years, and as its possible you might be one to discover next time round.

I learned a long time ago that gloating achieves little apart from pîssing off people who might otherwise support you when it really hits the fan, and invariably comes back to bite you with interest regardless.

how funny is it to see a wakey fan getting all cocky on the bulls forum?
if the pussycats fans are going to gloat like you are about your lofty 5th position in SL last season and then have the gall to take the p155 about a club like the bulls,then i would strongly urge your club to actually take part in a GF series unlike this seasons pathetic contribution


at least when the bulls are in the play-offs they generally make a better go of it than you lot did or have ever done,their success or successes in the SL era is phenomenal to be honest
as a final note on the matter,have the pussycats ever won a GF in SL? or do you think that they ever will?icon_wink.gif

How arrogant is that you feel that you are such an important club that other fans can't mock you?!!!!! A club like the Bulls?!!!! The 9th best club in England!!!

Who do you think he supports? have another look...

The muppet has only been on here for just over a month, so I doubt he's even twigged yet what a prat he's just made of himself!

Ha ha! What a muppet I am! Gonna go on the Leeds board now and show myself up on there!

Apologies all around!

Indeed, think he's worked it out now though. =whitetook the ****** long enough.

I've been only briefly scanning this thread, some of its quite funny. If I could be bothered I might bookmark this thread for reference sometime next year.... there could be some interesting sig material.

What does sig mean? I've only been on here a month............

good! we look forward to that you slack jawed yocal

if you didn't know in a Leeds fan too
