Yeah this Mimis is a tool thats for sure, he is just stuffing around to much, what will end up happening is Orford will be left in the dark and have no club at all, there is a rumor that Parramatta might of given up on him, from what i gather, i'm sure the Raiders will pay a transfer fee, but what amount who knows, we might know more tomorrow morning, there is a radio show on the ABC in Canberra, so might get some news.

Good to see you visit the GH, just like a few of us have done, come over here to your forum to see if you guys have any news

Without reading what others have written, I would imagine Orford is plainly in breach of contract as he has not returned. Consequently the Bulls could sue, the compenastion would be hard to estimate (impossible for me). So they stop paying, therefore would the Bulls not also be in breach, virtually terminating the contract & making Orford a free agent? Perhaps that is what Orford & his agent are hoping for?

looks like souths are still sniffing round george. Wonder if this could factor into our halfback signing. i.e we offload hall and burgess goes on loan to souths with them sending a young half on loan in return?. Dont know if they've anyone worth having though.

Neither Sandow or Sutton are much cop, so I assume there's nobody coming through who's ready.

They've got a Mundine in their youth set-up anywhere. I wouldn't mind one of them (if he's half as good as Anthony).

I wonder what deal we would agree to from Souths?

I guess it would depend whether George saw a long term future in Aus or is looking for a year over there before returning to the Bulls?

I would take Sutton or Sandow in the blink of any eye from Souths!

Sounds like we're prepared to let him rot!!!

The article reads as though it was Orford's decision not to sign, which must mean an agreement over compo had been reached with the Eels.

Interesting, i would expect that if compo was agreed, a player would not sit out a year of his career.

I would suspect that the only stumbling block would have been the release from Bradford. We're really digging our heels in!!!

Think about it....

Spend next year in NRL on $200+ per year
or
Take a year out at the age of 33?

IMO, I't not really his decision! just he has no option!!

That's hardly us letting him rot. That's him getting out of his contract with us scott free.

The fact that he won't get paid for the duration of his bulls contract is hardly getting away scott free.

Remember he will have no playing income during this time.... (2 years i think?)
