OMG i cant beleive whats happening on these threads people wanting to boycott game one i'll tell you what boycott all the games if you want, i for one am a bulls fan through and through. if the deal for orford falls through because of walker do we really want deacon back im sure there are a good few scrum halves out there to ply the money in to. Even if walker is right would he now relish coming to us because im sure he wont be made to feel welcome.. Orford will be here, it may cost us in the long run but he will be here.. Even if he dosent come I SUPPORT THE BULLS No matter what

What a ridiculous post.

99% of us will be there next season no matter what. If we have to sign Paleaasina to play SH i'll be watching, but i'll be looking out for Walkers face especially when i'm tipsy.

Good for you. It was only one person going on about a boycott IIRC. I don't think he'll be back.

I feel the supporters are owed some sort of explanation. A simple no comment is not good enough from Hood. Without the supporters the club would not be what it is today and many of us have been around since long before Hood took an interest.
I think the board at Odsal sometimes treats its supporters with utter contempt and issues such as this should not be left to speculation unless there is something genuine to hide.
A good couple of days has passed now since this story broke and I am sure Hood and co have known about it much longer so there has been ample time to check any legal issues and send reassurring noises...unless of course they are still using the same lawyer who dealt with the Harris transfer!

what he owes the fans is to do the best by the team , telling all to the papers before a possible court case would not be doing that. as much as we'd all like to know whats going off , id rather wait than have us scr3wed before we start.

Should the club be found to be guilty once again then that is totally unacceptable. How hard can it be, you have signed the full level of your quota or you haven't.

We should be enjoying the moment of a great signing not wondering if it is indeed a legal transfer.

Thanks for that Mr Hood!

I'm not sure that it was their point, but MQBlank makes a good point, everything that Duffy, Hood, McNamara etc do should be what best benefits the Bulls. What we as fans should be concerned with is the results on the field (and quite rightly be upset when we fall from play-offs contention), but it's the Bulls heirarchy who are paid to make the big decisions. We're not always going to be made privvy to the inner goings-on at the club, to an extent we have to take it on good faith that they're making the best decisions they can based on the situation at the time.

This is bad publicity, and that is what the Bulls don't need any more of

Walker is a proven trouble maker, he has been reprimanded at the majority of his previous clubs:

He's had alcohol bans imposed by the Roosters

In August, 2006, Walker was dropped by Melbourne Storm and was not picked up by any other NRL club.

He subsequently signed for the Gold Coast Titans after a number of successful trial games, although he was suspended after it was later revealed that Walker had been suffering from alcoholism and an anxiety disorder

What club in their right mind would touch a player like that?
Why are the Bulls club involved in such a fiasco?

I personally hope that the Bulls do get back to their previous glories, but before they do, something urgently needs shaking up in the management department, as the powers that be, clearly don't know their ar5e from their elbow

May be just worth noting that none of the directors, who are the ones "paid" to make the big decisions, actually get paid a penny by the club.

That is not offered by way of any excuse, btw. I'm keeping my powder dry regarding who should be stood against the wall and shot until we (maybe) get to find out the whole facts.

Scan down this and you might go oops! or something similar www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,865 ... 66,00.html He might have signed but if the Bulls didn't that could be the issue as has been mooted in earlier posts
