New contract announced until end of 2019. Great news.

Excellent!!

Was this the signing news??

Wow! Surprised and pleased at that news.

Just got the Email. Brilliant news! Hopefully this may encourage a few others to sign.

Lovely weather we're having.

With a fat clause in there making him available to SL clubs without restriction, or something material? I know this should be a reason to be cheerful, but I'm getting used to us being a relatively insignificant force in the game.

I would be surprised if that was in this time. I can't see much point of OB, Gaskell etc signing new deals, but asking for that release clause so they can play SL. They're contracts run out and i'm sure they could sign for SL teams if they wanted at the end of this year. I get the feeling OB genuinely wants to be here even if we are in the championship.

Even at the very worst that clause is in (which i personally don't think it will be) and he plays 1 season then that clause is activated, that is 1 more year than we were all expecting as i think most had resigned to the fact the likes of OB, Gaskell would be gone if we didn't get promoted. This signing could be the first step in getting a feel good feeling back at the Bulls.

What! Another good feeling?

I think some of us are getting greedy..

Well with the season we've had, a new a coach coming in (which was needed) and our star home grown hooker signing for 3 years, it will certainly give everyone a lift. Like i said, hopefully this will encourage a few others to follow and sign up.

Indeed, let's hope.

One of the better things about next year is that some of those two year deals, from two years ago, and I'm particularly thinking about the ones where the player involved has barely, if at all, put on a Bulls' shirt, will be finished. Which should leave us with some extra cash to play with - assuming we can keep, within reason, the support base.

Great news,plays with heart and a love for the shirt. We should keep going with more of our young juniors like Oates and Ryan. They were solid at Dewsbury.
They are the future of our club. Whoever comes in needs to focus and commit to that and not let Ferres release the wrong people!!!ie an actual half back in Adam Brook

Excellent news. If we can keep a few more of the spine of the team then we're in good shape going forward with whoever takes over as coach

The kid has a long future ahead of him. As happy as the rest of you about this news!

Fantastic news. We need to keep the spine of the team in tact and this is a great start.

I do wonder who signed this off though since lowes has gone? Do we have a new coach in place that AOB knows he wants to play under for possibly the next three years?

Great news. All we need now is a scrum half to round off a good week...

I reckon his deal was already signed before Lowes quit. The club were probably waiting for a good time to announce it. As soon as I saw this announcement I thought that it was meant as some positive news to offset the "negative" of Lowes going.

We desperately need to get a team that can realistically challenge for promotion otherwise he needs to be released for his own good.

Or possibly, the deal was in negotiation and what might have swung it is the club letting O'Brien know who's replacing Lowes.

If it is Morrison, then I'm not surprised AOB signed a new deal as he's played under him before at Dewsbury and knows what he's all about.

Has Gaskell extended his contract too then ?

If I missed that & he has then that is an excellent bit of business, quality that lad is, maybe not as good as our Ben Reynolds [ipotentially[/i could be though.

Hi Ben ive seen a few of your posts you really love yourself dont you

You seem to be a little 'delayed' or 'held back' ....

The function of your cerebral cortex might measure K on the Kelvin scale.

I'm not trying to stir here, but isn't Kelvin numeric? I mean, I am intrigued by your second sentence but I don't understand it. Please enlighten me!

Indeed surely zero/nought Kelvin is as low as you can go and that's numeric.

I'm pretty sure K isn't a Roman numeral.

Indeed it is someone obviously hasnt even done his homework before trying to insult! made me chuckle none the less

It's a thousand degrees Kelvin/Celsius shirley? Which is warm for a brain.
