Would the same principle not apply to Anthony Minichello ?  Neither has age on their side. However one guy is a proven effective working cog in the bigger machine; the other would need to learn .....

| Quote: rhino2009 "The plan was never to sign both Mini and the"Wolfman". It depended on GH's and Brian McD's view of filling the fullback position after Webb leaves at the end of the season. One option is to recruit a specialist experienced fullback (Mini) or the other option is to move BJB to fullback and bring in an experienced winger (Wolfman) to replace him on the wing. Both options have been investigated but I don't know which has been finalised. Smith was not considered to be of the required standard.'"
Mini cheddar plays full back alot different to Webb and the team would have to re structure it's attack.
Out of the two options you list signing mini would be my choice over signing williams. I cannot see the point when we have some very exciting young wingers in the team already and waiting in the wings. I initially would have liked BJB at full back with Chisholm going on the wing, but BJB seems to have a good partnershiP going with Watkins.
What about a third option a quality centre with hardaker to FB |

That is another option but for whatever reason it was not followed up. Over in Aus for both Mini and Williams there has been no news yet in the media about any contracts for next year but something is expected to come out in the next couple of weeks. |

One might already be signed. GH is usually good with his signings and I'm sure this one will be OK (whoever it is). |

GH's record of overseas signings has been very mixed. On the plus side there's the likes of Luati'iti, Leuluai, Webb and (eventually) Buderus. On the downside you could have the likes of Cross, Eastwood, Hauraki, Millard and Mark O'Neill. The common thread across our recent failures, Eastwood apart, has been paying peanuts and signing monkeys.

What about Scott Donald, David Furner, Mark Granville etc. Any idea whether it's Mini or Williams? |

Millard and Hauraki although overseas players were signed having impressed for SL clubs and in this context should count as domestic signings. At the very least if you're bagging GH for them you should also give credit for Poching and Dunemann who came to Leeds in similar circumstances. |

Hauraki still has the ability to turn into a successful signing...depends if he can find some consistency.
Is it really fair to class Millard as a poor signing - he was a short time signing filling a gap after Dunneman left and Diskin got injured IIRC. I thought he did a reasonable if unspectacular job. |

Not true.
download.ei-ie.org/Docs/WebDepot ... Report.pdf
Teachers salaries in the UK are amongst the best in Europe and have rose significantly during Labour's time in office. In fact I'd say that has actually compounded the problem. Teaching used to be a vocation for many highly talented academics but the attractive salaries for extremely average graduates (of which there are huge numbers these days) has seen an influx of dip$h!ts into the teaching profession - particularly in the infant and junior schools. Remember this on C4's Dispatches?

The teachers at our comp are on a different planet, they are recruited on performance and has a head who doesn't accept second best and it shows. Our comp is one of the best in the country. |

Wonder how Eastwood woould have gone if he hadn't had problems with his visa? That year at the Bulldogs was the problem. That said, he didn't come across as a guy who was interested in playing here - just making some cash. He could quite possibly have given it the "homesick" routine after his first season anyway.
Hauraki still has to show anything, Millard and O'Neill were cheap and nasty, Cross was rubbish. Having said that, Cross proved he was rubbish and then Wigan signed him! However poor we might seem I'd be interested in looking how well other clubs have really done with overseas signings in comparisson. |

Me too. Can't ever remember thinking he was a poor signing. |

Has there been any movement in Bradford selling players and should we be interested?
