Still, he'd make a great signing for Bradford.

CGD, look how well Howell and Dobson are going in the ESL yet both out favoured at Canberra, Purtell would be a superstar and would rip it up!

He had a few good seasons 07/08 but since his DVT he's not been back to his best, Canberra managed to secure him at the end of last season as Melbourne showed interest, but we're looking to free up $$$

Celtic Crusaders are pretty much favourites.

Howell's going well is he? He always had a bit of talent, but made a permanent habit of making errors at the most innocuous moments. His defence also let him down.

I was never a fan of letting Dobbo go, I think he was treated fairly badly by the Raiders over a period of a few years. His defense and lack of pace were partly the reason why he was let go, but also with Todd Carney and Terry Campese as first-choice halves, we couldn't afford to pay Dobbo what he was probably worth and keep a handful of our other young halves as well.
