I completely agree with you, most if not all our fans wrote off these signings and all of them did a good job for us.

If we do sign Parker, Lee, Walton and Penny then i think they will all be good signings and if we sign a good pivot player who can direct us around the field then i think we will do ok.

The only problem is that there arnt many players avaliable who we can afford that will be good enough to direct us around the field so i think we may need to look to the championship to sign one and i would be happy with Briggs (dont think we will pay a fee for him), Moore from Batley or even give Thackery from Widnes a go. Another option for us would be to look at a season long loan maybe somebody like paul mcshane from Leeds who in my opinion has a good kicking game which is something that we lack and also has a bit of pace.

Could we get a season long loan from a Aussies club, to take over from where Broughy left off, I'm sure there is some young Aussies busting a gut to get some game time...

can kind of see your point but out of those players you mention bibey and moore where proven who players who had just had a couple of bad seasons but there was never no doubting there ability,march was a regular for giants.golden and fox had never had a chance in sl and pryce was rubbish,the players linked with us this season worrincey,penny and t lee have tried and failed and bar in penny have never been any good(only cos of his try ratio)that leaves jjp and all we can go on that is the views of fans who see him every week and that aint good.i for one belive these signings will make us even weaker than this season if possible and i for one fear for us next season and belive we could better halifax record of only winning one game in a season

As has been debated previousley on this thread, we don't have the quota space to do this.

With regards to the players that we have supposedly signed for next season I fail to see how we have strengthed the team except that Penney is better than the other wingmen we have but then any wing signing would be better than those we have.

Hesketh has re-signed for Batley.

Thackray isnt a bad attacking player but he's a turnstyle in defence.

He will fit right in then.

biggest rumour I've heard is that Al's wallet is about to open around 7pm at the cats bar on sunday



this must not be missed as there are moths that haven't been seen before romoured to be living in there, even David Attenborough has been asked to come film the said event

Not true and won't happen.

=#BF0000Edited for accurracy.

please hope to god that you have signed him
i feel sorry for you if you have but rather you have him than he signs an extention at Bulls

Has the Luke Gale rumour already been mentioned?

I have heard we have signed him from Quins despite the fact he is on a long term deal.

Have not heard any rumours tht offer any hope, think signings are being kept quiet to help season tickets sales. Why else would they keep it quiet, who else would be coming in for these players? Think it is going to be a poor season will prob put this seasons in the shade, will be that bad. We are miles behind cas, salford etc Now and all have strenghthend greatly

Heard a rumour that depending on whether or not Huddersfield can sign Menzies or not we may be able to resign Danny Kirmond on loan again for next season.

I am not sure whether to believe this or not because they have let Wild go so they need to replace him but if it is true, i think it would be good for us.

Ive been told from a very good source that JK treid really hard to get Luke in when DB left but he signed his long term contract, but the source says that Cas are showing interest as well...

Heard Reardon has offers from Wakefield, Crusaders & Salford.

Not sure how true, but it's from the guy who told me Bradford had signed Ainscough & Walker.

If thats the best we can do signing the likes of Reardon then dear me .... Hes utter tosh. IF we sign another past it player and we could have had the likes of ainscough i wont be happy.

you never are

A former GB international isn't good enough for you?

To be fair he would be right up Wakeys street, way past his best injury prone and plays winger / centre and most importantly will be on a very average wage.

We certainly should have been in for Dowes, Elima, Ainscough and Tony Clubb.
I would also have made a cheeky bid for JJ Bishop on a season long loan as well.

Stephan Ratchford would also have been a main target after his treatment at the hands of McCrae this year and his reduced prospects in the face of all Salford's signings.

We should have been in for Will Sharp as well and I'll say it again we've missed out on Jodie Broughton through lack of player insight and poor scouting.

I wouldn't touch Reardon or Sheriffe either

When his club coach was the GB coach.



Ben Harrison suddenly became international class when Tony Smith became Warrington coach.
Isn't Nick Scrotum in a similar position now thanks to McNamara?

Former been the optimum word. What next Paul Newlove, Garry Schofield and Ellery Hanley to sign just because they were former GB internationals ?

There is a good reason why he is former and why Bradford are releasing him. It'd be a better option to blood a youngster who can actually improve and become a better player in a short space of time
