Notice Mick tweeted this...
https://twitter.com/TheGameCaller/statu ... 1788014592
[i"There is no game for the Bradford Bulls this weekend, so the club will be using that time to sit down with players to discuss new contracts at the club. It's no secret that there is interest from several Super League clubs (St Helens, Leeds, Hull KR) for young forward Ebon Scurr."[/i
Not surprising - I guess the only way we're going to keep seeing him in a Bradford shirt is by offering regular gametime. Not all SL clubs can offer that, unless he was to come back on loan like Milnes last year.
The likes of Scurr and Gallagher represent the last of the group of kids recruited when John Bastian was in charge of youth development. It'll be interesting to see who are the next to come through. Youth development was challenging enough before covid but even more so since. |

I'd take it with a huge pinch of salt. You don't have to be in the know, just have eyes, to know that Scurrs performances are probably going to be attracting interest.
Regarding academy players. I believe Lewis Camden is one to watch out for.
Could all be irrelevant anyway if we fail to be granted an academy license. Great way to grow the game reducing the number of academies...

Indeed. That would be a mad decision given all the players our system has contributed. |

Dunno why people give air time to that individuals tweets. As mentioned above you dont have to be a rocket scientist to work out there is going to be interest in Scurr.
What happened to that new signing he claimed would be announce a few weeks ago?
He likes to stir the pot to get people talking about him self. Sadly as we have seen in the past, often its been at a detriment to the club.

This thread is about Scurr, not Mick Gledhill.

Quite right and I see the usual trolls are out in force yet again. Is there a way to block them and the bile they post?
For those that watch the Full Eighty Minutes which I co host with Ebon Scurr’s agent, they will know that there is a lot of Super League interest and has been for the past two months.
I only put out that information because the club are going to do their damndest to try and keep him.
Hopefully a positive update to share on Monday’s show. |

Looking at the table that the RFL have internally for this current six-year Academy cycle, there will be no surprise to see Bradford in the top six for players produced that are now playing regular first team games in the Super League.
That has to and should count for a lot in the criteria. |

He's played this season for them hasnt he?
Interesting York have made yet another loan signing in Mikey Lewis so that may put him higher up the order.
Personally happy with how Lilley and Brough are playing. Obviously that could all change with injuries. But I think it was Bullseye on the other thread that said Lilley going for DG at 22-10 up was excellent game management. IF we make the play-offs the games are likely to be nail-bitingly close and game management will be crucial |

We don't need him at present. Why would you drop Lilley/Brough who are playing well together? |

I'd bring him off the bench for Doyle and put Lilley and Brough sharing dummy half (which they do anyway). Give the centres a bit of running ball. Plus the start of the season tells us that we could do with cover in the halves. |

We're not going to get a loan halfback from a SL team unless we can guarantee some gametime. SL teams will only loan if they can't give their own players a game. I'd be looking to give Race and Jowitt some game time if possible so that when either Brough or Lilley are unavailable we're not chucking a kid in at the deep end.
Milnes seems to be getting a few games at HKR so he won't be back.

He did ok and kept his place when Lewis had served his suspension in fact Lewis has now gone on loan to York for game time |

I’ve heard Leeds are big admirers of Scurr and right now with him being out of contract, could he look at a big deal in SL?

As much as people won’t like it, Scurrying to Leeds on a four year deal might be a decent option if they then loan him back to us for 2022

You'll have to watch the show on Monday but since I put the news out there Wigan and Castleford have also offered him a deal. |

I actually agree. I know there's comments floating about like "we'll see Nigel Woods intentions whether we keep him or not"
But it's not simply a case of breaking the bank or him putting his hand in his pocket to keep Scurr. We're a PT team. We can't really compete if someone offers him a FT contract. |

Well we seem to get on with Leeds ok, so if he went to the club he supports and they loan him straight back that would the least worst option.

Agreed on one level but there's no point giving interviews about SL if we can't keep him for say 2 years. |

We can only keep him if financially we can compete and to be honest if we can I would be worried we are overstretch in ourselves
The guy is a roofer playing part time rugby at 21yo, if he goes I see no blame to attach to the club or Scurr. If he signs p/t for another champ club then yes I would be worried but I don’t see this happening.
