Ben Jeffries set to rejoin Wakefield,after rejecting a move to Celtic. I think it could be a good move.

its believable, but why ? could think of a better over seas player.

i'm happy about it, he will take some stick from some fans but it takes a lot to eat humble pie and go back to your old club when it aint worked out for him really,

CHEAP !!!!!!!!!!

good on him rejecting crusaders

cheap, yes true, but we need quality not quantity.

Ben Jeffries is as good a value as most of the overseas half backs in the league. He scores tries, creates tries, his kicking is strong, he doesn't miss many games, he isn't all that expensive and if you we play him at stand off where he is clearly strongest then I think we've got a good'un.

Cue a hail of gunfire...

Money buys quality have you got any. BJ is a known quantity at a reasonable price - no world beater but they don't generally join us do they - some fans need to get there expectations to a more realistic level

Only from the usual suspects

great news , think him and brough will make a better partnership than brough and drew. bj is more laid back and less likely to clash with brough, has a great kicking game and good support player. well satisfied.

BJ, has yes assisted 19 tries for braddy this season, i think he would go in the gutter if he joined crusaders, ending up like ned catic, if we do sign him, i wont have a problem with it !

BTW. heard rumours that before sol signed for wire, JK was on the prowl for him, in my opinion he is injury prone and a tad clumsy, is the semi rumour true. we'll find out in a few weeks won't we

He can also play a good game of cricket

One of his main attributes is his link up play for the backs.
Never really got the credit last time around,maybe because he was quiet and an easy target for the boo boys, but the stats don't lie.Outside of him this year you have Nero and Semi both in the top 20 for clean breaks and tries.
So in my view a good signing and welcome back home.

Don't think Jeffries will get any stick. Yeah he got some when he played against us but so did Korki when he played for Cas.

I don't expect anyone to have a go at Ben what so ever while he is wearing a Wakey shirt

Suddenly its looking a whole lot better, add in a centre/winger and our first team starting 17 looks a whole lot better than at any time in superleague, still cant work out how we only have 8 non fed trained players

1) Blaymire
2) ???
3) Millard
4) Gleeson
5) Blanch
6) jeffries
7) Brough


Tronc
9) Obst
10) Korkidas
11) Morrison
12) Ferguson
13)JD

14) Stosic
15) Moore
16) Newton
17) Bibb/Hendo/Leo Latu/Murphy/George

No He played well when in the mood but playing at Trin means he needs to show up week in and week out. AND grow up.

Where shall I start?????????????????????????

I dont know the £ and pence of it but i would have rather kept Grix at stand off.

He failed to be consistent for us on 100k, we're supposed to have got him cheap ? What chance he will be better this time for less dosh ?

like grix, would have liked to have kept him but think bj will do a better job. he has been a stand out player for bradford imo. stick him at the back of the pack we are building with brough, think it will be a great combintion. he is not a part time 6 like we have had all season. he is a seasoned professional. look forward to seeing him in a wakey shirt again.

Why on earth have Bradford not wanted to keep Jefferies if he as been a stand out player like you say. At the end of the day we let him go with a year left on his contract but asked nothing for him, presumably due to his under performing , and the bulls fans have said the same thing about him, he is totally inconsistant .

Absolutely delighted with this news.

Ben's a proven try-scorer/try-creater at the top level, he's not always been the most consistent but on what I've seen and know of him I'm delighted by his return. Think one of his main failings in the past was when he was expected to grab the bull by the horns and lead the team, I don't think he's got that in his locker, but won't need it alongside Brough, they're a match made in heaven for me.

He's been heavily criticised on his defence in the past, but if I remember right in his last few games in a Trin shirt he readily put his body on the line time after time.

At the end of the day we're getting the right player at the right price, a player who scores tries, sets up tries and (importantly in my eyes) doesn't miss many through injuries.

BJ back at belle vue next season. confirmed tonight at swag meeting by ted richardson, also said two more big signings to come in november!(would not be drawn on names tho)

watch this space

who said they didn't want to keep him, he was offered a new contract. he was also sought after by 2 other sl clubs. bj left wakey last time amicably, both parties had other fish to fry, our's was drew. nothing to do with under performing. some bradford fans say he was inconsistant. others rate him highly
