Rinaldi wouldn't be the best move, but at least he would give cover for 6,7 & 9. Id still rather see a quality SO or SH signed.

He did nowt at Wakey

Who?
I'm confused now...

Rinaldi played for Wakey before he played for Catalans. Didn't get a great deal of game time though.

Him being a former Wakefield and former Harlequins player no doubt made him irresistable to us

the bradquin wildcats?

But you didn't want him though did you. You had the chance to retain him but used his overseas place up on another player.

He's a former Bull as well he played 12 games for our 21's in 1999.

For a centre, when is Justin Hodges' contract up?

not til the end of the 2011 season, so he is no go. however karmichael hunt is off contract this season, and is yet to re-sign.

Play him at 6, would be a cracker.

So not just me been wondering if that might be the plan then, with Jeffries at 7.

I think Hunt is a very good player, excellent vision, a nice bit of pace, versatile and robust and he's a tough little bleeder to boot. Lets face it, Deacs is finished and he's falling to pieces and we need a new half back, somebody creative and not scared to take the defence on, like Karmichael. We've got to bring somebody in and I'd much sooner us keep Jeffries than Deacon.

Is it a realistic signing though? Can you really see Karmichael Hunt playing 6 for us and Macca getting rid of Deacs? I cant see it happening at all.

Why? Because it would be a sensible move and would improve our team?

If so, then you are probably right.

Exactly my way of thinking!

Would Hunt want to come to Bradford?

How could he resist!?

Nobody knows.

Cue the K Hunt (with a silent H) and Beaver jokes

We can speculate. Not many guys his age give up the chance to play origin and test RL to come to SL. Much as I like to see him play for us I think it's unlikely.

Perhaps someone a bit older who is proven and perhaps ready for a change might be better? I'm thinking of Matt Orford.

Tbh, I'd rather have Orford than Hunt in some senses. He's more experienced, and we need that in the squad. Either would be brilliant but I still can't see either of them coming to us. What about Tim Moltzen from Wests Tigers? He's only 20-21 I think, I saw him in 1 game and was looking good, pacey which is what we need in the halves. I'm sure Gold Coast have a few young Half backs that would be up to SL standard, worth a punt maybe.

He's played it all before, and if he comes early in his career then he can have the chance to go back again. Besides, he's well down the pecking order, isn't he?

Has Lee Smith signed back up with Leeds yet. I know he's not exactly what we're looking for but could cover centre, wing and FB.

Perhaps, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. Not many players of his ability and age come to SL under normal circumstances. It's not as if he's had a fallout with his club like Bird or Lyon did.

I'm not saying the club didn't ought to sound him out but I'd expect him to turn us down.

I'm not sure about that, can't see Hunt coming tbh. I would love to see him in red amber and black but it's unlikely. Half the clubs in NRL would probably offer for him and I understand he turned down a massive offer from Wigan?
