He will end up at salford as there signing every old man still playing the game at the moment.

Then he'll be a cracking player for them.

Ive heard we want a swap deal, leon and fkannery in exchange for worrincey.

The bulls turned it down, they said throw eastmond in and you've got a deal.

Saints will give the bulls a answer in the next 24hrs.

Great player though Menzies is, it wouldnt upset me too much if this signalled a change in recruitment policy away from well known but very expensive, older, done it all players back to not so well known, cheaper, quality but with plenty to prove players ie less Orford more Hape.

I think we need to share out the wages over a greater number of quality players.

Surprised that The Hood even answered your question tbh, his cameo appearance on Boots n All last night was cringeworthy at best, he's surely not a confident character is he?

Surely he must have wanted to admit that Caisley clearly got 12" shoved up his backside and the signing of Harris has ruined the Bulls club for the foreseable future?

But he couldn't for legal reasons?

Steve Menzies has been a priviledge to see in action over here, it's a shame that as he's clearly been your best player that he could be treated this way. i would have thought that Hall would be first to go?

Not the foreseeable future. And it is quite clear there was a confidentiality agreement as part of the Harris settlement with Leeds - the wording of the press release made that extremely clear to anyone who knows the code.

As Hood said on what must have been a totally unrelated subject at the forum, the club has been hit very badly by the unexpected annual cost of the, er, "recession" and this annual cost is expected to continue to be every bit as bad for a little while yet. But he was confident it would suddenly end as quickly as it started. I just wish a load more people knew and understood about this unexpected annual cost of the "recession", and the impact it has been having on our club's ability to compete. I think as time goes on though more people are starting to realise.

And about what caused the "recession".

How do you know how he's been treated? It's not as though he already had an option for an extra year, but we won't give him it. He was only coming for 1 year anyway in the first place, we've been lucky to have him for two already, but if Mr Potter thinks that it could be a year too far then I'll trust his judgement over mine.

Knowing how Steve is, he'll take it on the chin. As much as we've enjoyed watching him, he is 37, and if we can get a young quality player in his place then I can accept it. I'd love to have him for another year, but there is no room for sentiment in sport.

He's on his way down to LONDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no doubt if hall and menzies were in the same situation then it would be hall going. however menzies is out of contract whilst hall still has 2 years to run on his deal. it costs us nothing to release menzies whereas it would cost us 2 years salary to release hall, and he'll be on 80-90k pa I'd imagine, so releasing hall isnt really an option unless he went by mutual consent.

Ewwenorfolk........Do u realise that u average 8 posts per day over the last 4 years!!!!! WOW!!!!

No, I didn't realise.

I like to talk about my club. Problem?

No problem.......Loving the dedication!

Anyway, it's 6.57 posts per day.

I'll be sad to him leave, so I hope we give him a massive send off at the DW stadium on the last day of the season.

Menzies going! - bugger.

For those who can spin this one - good luck. Beaver may be older than most, and being such a prolific try scorer in the NRL does not guarantee a contract now, but a possible repetition of Morrison-gate with Menzies would leave a sour taste.
On top of that - Salford gazzumping us because 'they are going places' is absolutely ridiculous (the only place they are going is likely the Championship in 18 months time, reckon that some of the players going there want little weight of expectation).
I will always support the Bulls home and away regardless of who is signed / not signed, and am looking forward to seeing us kick the Saints tomorrow, and yet this one must have us all baffled. Arguments for a quota spot and salary saving are fine, but the club's silence on any signings (leaked rumours at least) do not settle the nerves.

A 10 point win for us tomorrow night with Scrutes, Kearney and Crookes in. COYB!

Isn't this also part of Potter having a direct say in recruitment? If he's been given a clear remit to rebuild the Bulls, then letting a player go who maybe has one more year in them might be a very good move if it allows more balance in your squad, and if it signals an intent to move away from signing older Aussies/Kiwis. I support anything that suggests the Bulls are going to come back as a real force.

Also agree re all of Salford's signings. There's no guarantee they'll be any better next year than this. Its not as if they've signed a bunch of current Aussie internationals.

Nothing against Menzies BTW - he's a fine player. He'll undoubtedly get a one-year deal elsewhere.

Adey serious question here, Will these "recession figures" have to be audited by the club?

If so will they show up on the yearly balance sheet when published, or can they be covered up so that the true figures involved are ever revealed?

Although they're not signing superstars, they are definitely improving the squad.

Patten is a massive improvement on Fitzpatrick. Anderson & Wild better than the likes of Sibbit & Littler. Palea'aesina better than Leuluai etc. etc.

They're hardly going to be up there challenging for the Grand Final, but they should be a fair bit better next year.

And this poor current squad is only 3 points behind Bradford. Or possibly 1 after this weekend.
Though this present Salford investment does have all the classic hallmarks of boom & a very big bust shortly after.

Yep, and I find that very depressing. Almost as depressing as losing to every one of those teams that are below us, most at home



It's partly because those teams are rubbish. Unfortunately, we've been even more rubbish for the last few months!

Huddersfield, Wakefield & Quins looking at him according to an Oz website

I really hope the club know what they are doing on this one. I will be gutted to see him go. But we can only assume that there is someone is lined up. I sincerely hope anyway.
I can see this one coming back to bite us again though.
