And Royston, Sykes, Platt and Ah Van all gone next year.

Sibbit is the classic example of how far Bradford have truly sunk.....Even when he was at his best, he was still only a very average player.....Bradford of 4 or 5 years ago wouldn't have touched Sibbit with a bargepole, now he is a regular.

Its very scary how far and quickly Bradford have declined as a club.

Joel Monaghan have you ever seen a winger that can't go the length of the field when he's in open space?

In fact have you ever seen a slower backline than ours?

Yes and Yes.

Where do we start, there are so many poor overseas imports.

I nominate Jamie Simpson from Huddersfield and Willie Isa at Castleford, i can't believe they get paid to play Rugby League.

Ooops. i forgot Jarrod Hickey at Wakefield.

An absolute disgrace for a professional sportsman.

I was going to name jamie simpson by name in my last post.

What did we expect from him? A reserve rabbitoh who wasn't at all in favour ovewr there. He is young and has skill but I didn't expect him to be better than a foster or a charnley. I held him in a similiae light to most of huddersfields youngsters, a previous youth teams rejects.

It is a completely different story with ben cross!

Every word.
I predicted this at the end of January, whilst loads on here were saying that Bradford would challenge. They've just picked up everyone elses cast-offs, like we used to do, a decade or so ago. Bradford are now a basket case...OFFICIAL.

Back on thread....Cross....by a distance

Said that to my mate last night, a truly awful rugby league player.

Thats the funny thing with Bradford over the last few years. Every off season people have been predicting that this would be the year they were going to be back to challenge, because of who they had signed, the year before it was because they had Orford and before that it was because they had Menzies and people were saying they had the best pack in Super League (that was when they still had Burgess and Solomona)

The other thing about the off season predictions I couldn't understand this last year was that after everyone has been predicting the 'decline of Saints' for about a decade, and it has never happened, this year everyone was raving about their pack with Perry and LMS etc in it saying they had the best pack in the league and so on.

when watching Herbert, it reminds me of a certain Matt "The Rocket" Rodwell, and we all know how good e was!!

I'm with you on this one too, Sally

The decline of Saints, don't make me laugh. They are still a huge force, with great players coming through.
Everyone takes the slash out of Meli and Gardner....they don't half know where the tryline is, don't they?

Stains looked a little underdone in the GF, last year, but they still made the final (and pipped us to 2nd place)
They've had to move to a temporary ground, and bar some early season wobbles, they've done very well, especially with their injury issues.

Right off/predict Stains' decline.......NOT ME, not 'til I see three or four disappointing seasons, at least.

Ah Van is a good kicker and scores tries.
I've not seen a lot of him but what I have seen has shown me both the good and bad.

Early favourites for next season's worst import: Steve Southern and Keith Lulia.

Been some bad ones mentioned so far. Hickey and Herbert would have to be the pick of them IMO, along with most of the Crusaders team.

Sherbert by a country mile. Absolute toilet. And Ben Cross is about as good as what's dropped off in one. Dump!

These 2 are not technically imports that have come direct from the NRL but imports that were already over here and moved from one club to another, the signings by Salford of Phil Bailey and Iafeta Paleaaesina, a total waste of money.

Regardless of Bailey's injury, what did they ever see in him in the first place ? Same with Paleaaesina really, a couple of huff and puff runs per game and thats your lot as he aint capable of much more.

you are matt parrish and i claim my 5 australian dollaridoos

According to a Bradford fan I know Sibbit has been one of their better players this year. He didn't expect much from him either but he's been far better than a lot of their 'bigger' signings. I always thought he did a good job for us especially before he went to Melbourne. Didn't look like the same player when he returned.

Mason has to be the worst import this year.

Definately. Mason did nothing for the 3 or 4 games he was here.

Ben Cross just wasn't given a chance at Leeds, he didn't do that bad (certainly wasn't there worst prop) but at the same time didn't pull up any trees.

Josh Perry has got to be up there as well, played about as much as Mason.

Nick Kouparitsus at Quins-Came from the the Roosters- been paid up and sent on his way from Quins(how bad is that) he is awful!!

I wouldn't want Herbert, but at least he has stuck the season out and looks like he gives a toss. I think it's unfair to name him in this thread.

Patrick Ah-Verage, on the other hand, is a dismal player and, as others have said, he looks like he hates playing rugby.

However I'd have to go for Ben Cross, as not only has been dire, but he's managed to convince three clubs (and three sets of fans) that he's worth signing, all in the one season! Complete pudding.

Jamie Simpson gets an honourable mention, shocking.

Weller Huraki from Leeds been garbage this season.

Shenton hasn't impressed me either.

We should award the Rodwell-Sullivan Medal to the winner here.

My vote goes to Ah Van - penalty machine, misses easy kicks, misses tackles, often found out of position

That fat minge should be sat wearing a fishnet vest in Texas spitting tobacco at people.

Worst import; toss up between Herbert and Ah Van.

So, Ah Van for me.

Ben Cross. Why? Been shyyte for two teams in one season. That's pretty impressive.
