No way will it be Gale, he will be a major part of Bradfords team rebuilding.

Not sure if the player will be at the meeting ,I know Tony has spoken to him and he is keen to join us and not just in a playing capacity

Glenn Morrison?

Thanks Chunkster.

I'm with S/O. I don't want the Christmas present unwrapping until Tuesday!

Just to reply to a few comments: Sean Long has just signed for Preston Grasshoppers rugby union team. Luke Gale is a major part of Bradford's plans. I think we can rule these two out.

We also need to face the possible fact that unless some money is found, this person might still not be coming. Let's all get down to the meeting on Tuesday and support the club in trying to give us what we want.

What a state of affairs it would be if next to no one turns up and a major opportunity is lost and gone forever!

If we want the Dons to be successful we really have to show our support to the club!!

Glenn Morrison has reportedly been injured in pre-season training with Wakefield and forced to retire.

The 35-year old suffered a seemingly innocuous training ground injury whilst coaching in the first week of pre-season and medical experts have confirmed worst fears that he has suffered a labral tear in his left shoulder as well as major damage to the joint capsule and bone damage that will require repairing by taking bone from his hip.

Morrison met with shoulder specialist, Professor Funk who explained that due to the extent of the injury and the major surgery that was required, he would have no option but to retire from playing, meaning he will now focus entirely on his role as Wildcats Assistant Coach.

I personally would not put into a Morrison fund. great experience but not one for the Dons IMO

Have all the former Crusaders players found clubs? If not, it could be one of their unsigned former players?

The name I've heard fits this bill.

Is he an 'Elder' statesman of the game so to speak?

What's Mark Lennon up to these days?

The name I've heard is, yes.

Might be a million miles off, though.

Schifcofske...

Bless you.

hope not he is a good player but I am hoping for a half back as we are seriously lacking in that department, the suspense is killing me tho, all these rumours

Agreed - especially as if we did sign him I've a feeling TM would push Hodson permanently into the scrum half role, when the guy himself said he could only fill in there - we need a specialist to lead us round the park as has been said many times already tbh so I guess I/we are covering old ground here, but hey, is it our fault that it remains relevant?

Lennon, 29, played for the Crusaders in 2008 and 2009 and now plays in Australia for Burleigh Bears.

Clinton Schifcofski was with Celtic Crusaders last season and doesn't seem to have a club at the moment. He's just had his 36th birthday and plays full back mainly or on the wing.

I think (if it's schifkofske) they'd have him double as a player and coach of a junior team or something, to get their money's worth...

If it is Clinton Schifcofski you might like to have a look at what he can do:

this is a gud video altho most of this action was in his younger days, yeah he cud do a job at our level and he is a quality goal kicker but still a half back is required imo. I am hoping it is Paul Cooke myself as there is no mention on the workington board of him signing

imo this makes a lot more sense than an aussie based in wales wanting to come to donny

that effort @ 7:18 was as good, if not better than Tallis on Hodgson!

A SENIOR citizen me thinks!!!

I thought he'd gone to Fev?

Give it away why don't you!

This is the name I'd heard (and texted to EB)

We don't desperately need Keith Senior, he's not a halfback and apart from near the line tries, he's played his best rugby.
Which doesn't mean to say he wouldn't be good for the side if we had a quality halfback to feed him.

I do hope it's a halfback ... it doesn't make much sense if it is not.
Unless we are going to get a halfback as well, which doesn't look likely.
We are obviously struggling to get one class player, never mind two.
Besides I'm inclined to only back a bid for a halfback, and I don't think I would be alone in thinking that way.
