He was in Cottingham this afternoon having a coffee with a few of the other boys so he's certainly still around!

Just waiting on RFL approval

Even got his new house sorted .

if he was signing for wigan it would have been approved by now

Carvell reminds me of Pierre van Hojdonk with his holding clubs to ransom. I know there careers are short but surely there's a more respectable way of doing things.

Cant blame him for this, he has to secure his future and its not secure at Bradford at all.

Also can't blame him for leaving Hull, who would want to stay at Hull when you are being coached by Agar.

yes but why wait till the week before the season starts to decide you want out? what chance has a struggling Bradford coach got of replacing him with anyone decent?

Absolutely nothing like the PVH situation.

HTH

How long would you give it if your employer was not paying you directly? How long would you give it if the company you agreed to work for had to fold and open up again only to have the threat of closure being imminent ?

Get a grip.

These bloke don't earn mega money and they have family's to provide for.

The sooner some fans realise that blind loyalty is a thing of the past the sooner we will have rationale debate on here.

player didn't want to stay at the club (Forest) so refused to train and went on strike. yer nothing like it.

luckily for Bradford the rest of their players don't share your view.

Or nobody decent wants them.

Great news about Gale. Would rather have a player like Miller with the potential to make an impact than a player like Gale that has had over 100 games and not made one at all.

If he plays like he has at Wire, then I'll be happy to have him back.

This!!

Let's hope we get this one over the line quick as we need him on Friday

Think gale has done hull a favour staying at bradford,miller much more potential,but you can understand gale not wanting to take a backward step at this stage of his career.

why there was never a mention of him going to the mini KC...

Tick, tock.

Can't say I was excited about the possible signing of Mr Gale to begin with, but the thought of a player turning us down (if true) to stay at a team who will be in the bottom 4 is "surprising", we usually pay over the odds so maybe this time we was offering the going rate.
Us and wake was keen, says it all really.

Ross Heppenstall of the Bradford T &A says this morning, "Blake Solly at the RFL also said that the governing body would have no probs registering Garreth Carvell's contract at Hull FC".

Nice little face saver for them about Gale although I don't racall Radford ever openly saying we're trying to get Gale.

So whats holding this up now then is it Carvells reg that Bradford hold or without a contract of employment does that make that reg void or what.?

Really hope we can get this done today, so he can play on Friday, would feel much more confident with him in the 17.

Do we ever just sign a player with any drama?

Ross Heppenstall ‏@rosshtanda
Blake Solly at the RFL also said that the governing body would have no probs registering Garreth Carvell's contract at Hull FC.

Ross Heppenstall ‏@rosshtanda
@rugbystufff hull won't pay any money to Bradford as he cancelled his contract with the Bulls.

Ross Heppenstall ‏@rosshtanda
@rugbystufff not sure what day he cancelled his contract at Bulls. Would imagine he'll be playing for Hull on Friday.

Ross Heppenstall ‏@rosshtanda
@MattPimperton @eddie_hoyle RFL say they will register Carvell as a Hull player and it would be up to Bradford to take action if they wished

Ross Heppenstall ‏@rosshtanda
@MattPimperton @eddie_hoyle but legal proceedings are obviously costly so I'd imagine Carvell will join Hull and that will be it.

Very similar to the Paul cooke scenario. Hull kept up the veiled threat of legal proceedings for several months but ultimately did nothing

Are you referring to the new Kc stadium rather than the old one ?
