Hey, it was!!! Superb bit of digging that up Paul!



And, more to the point I suggest...doesn't Beaver come across as one bloody cracking guy off the park as well as on it? Our Aussie friends told us this, and on this occasion anyway I'm happy to acknowledge they look to have been utterly and completely right.

I'd like to paste an extract of what he said, for those too busy to follow the link:



Two obvious points: Firstly, this is aimed at an Aussie audience, so he's no reason to put much spin on it. Secondly, that for Sam to get a rap like that from a legend of the game speaks volumes (as well as basically indicating where Sam will likely end up, IMO?); and he's surely nailed his colours to the mast about Bradford, given he need not have said anything or could have been non-committal and said summat like he'll do whats best financially for his family?

He always makes me laugh cause it's just like a fan ranting on here.

Never has much respect for him.

Several times when wearing a Bulls shirt over here, I've had people come up to me and ask about Sam.

I'd hate for him to leave.

But if he DID, then if it was to the NRL I could live with the disappointment cos of what it would likely do for him and for the perception of the British game and also the perception of Bradford. I'm sure he'd make a big success of it over there.

And anyway, as I'm sure you'd agree from first hand experience, who in their right mind would not want to go and have at least a spell living and work in Oz? I'd be off like a bloody shot, and I've some experience to back up saying that.

ps: to any of our Aussie readers: Gizza job! I can do that...!

I wasn't going to read it as he is a bit of a Gary Schofield, but I did & I enoyed it.

even though he has only played about 12 or 13 games for us, his he a Bradford legend already.

That was a good read

. Don't tell him he'd go well in NRL though, we want him at Odsal.

"Ideally, I'd like to finish up at Bradford. The players and coaches have been great and I've settled in well over here."

Doubt he'd write that there if he didn't mean it.

I've met Phil Gould a few times when I lived in Sydney quite some time back, he's a bloody good bloke that always speaks his mind and in my books is more than often correct about what he says.

LMAO! That lad takes some stick!...


I wonder if Menzies will recommend him to Manly Sea-Eagles...

Hope you said he was crap!

Phil Gould is a top bloke meet him after the test at Huddersfield in 2003 he was very honest on his views.
