If the salary details are to be believed, I can see another 'Harris' style player revolt up at Odsal.

Great player. Purely financial move as there's no way he'll win anything during his 3 years under Super MacNamaraicon_smile.gif

Great player hope he goes well in SL and if Bradford want to pay a 31 year old £280'000 a year for 3 years then thats up to them.

Not really making too much of an effort to disguise his motives. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 361832.stm In a way I kind of respect him for not doing so, but what a strange thing for Bradford to do - sign an outstanding but ageing Aussie on big money when there's a perfectly serviceable British incumbent already in the position. Oh hang on a minute.......

Bradford on paper look strong in places but still having some shocking backs and the coaching is real issue imo. I think this will take the edge off losing burgess for the dulls fans but is only papering over the cracks! When your 6, 7 and 9 are all Aussies it's not a good sign.

The Kangaroos fielded Aussies at 6,7 and 9 on Saturday and they did alright.

At least he is (or certainly was) a class act & someone we've all heard of, L'Estrange & Kearney (not Steven) who are they?
Plus with Hall that makes 4 aussies the Bulls have signed this year, with Menzies all this is really going to help England/GB, & this from the national team's assistant coach.
No wonder we're in the you know what internationally.

at least bradford are sticking to the 6 player overseas limit and not using rule changes to squeeze in an extra overseas player like some clubs are doing

Who's that then????

Good point but if there aren't any decent British players available what do you do.

Still one fewer overseas player than Leeds though

That's a bit rich coming from a club who will have seven non England qualified players in it's squad in 2010.

no not really it was in reference to the creative spine of the team been all overseas for the next 3 years where Leeds are all acadamy players and the core of the team is made up of local lads! It is also likely 3 or 4 of our overseas signings will come off the bench. That's the difference

In addition to the Leeds players in the England squad Carvell, Morley and Fox had also come through our Academy so I don't think a Wigan fan is in a position to preach to us just yet.

Leeds undoubtedly have produced heaps of SL quality players yet feel the need to have extra overseas players and more than the official quota allows. I don't get it really, as the champions and with the backing of one of the best RL service areas why buy more overseas players than you need?
