I feel this is good business for the Bulls. Injury prone player and one of the highest earners. Some people need to realise we need to become stable and if that means selling good players and loaning youngsters, that’s fine with me.

If we’ve got a five figure fee plus 4 players and assuming Evans will have wanted to go when Rhinos come calling I think it’s a good deal. Let’s remember the Rhinos academy is pretty good and I think Holroyd was mentioned as on a par with Oliver Wilson wasn’t he? And whilst I don’t know this how do we know Leeds didn’t say we want Evans or the much rumoured loan of players from Leeds wouldn’t happen?

So we take a load of Leeds youngsters on loan, doesn't they basically prevent us on doing much in terms of dual reg, or at least make us pretty unattractive to a dual reg partner since we can only play 4 or 5 anyway?

Not surprising news though, we are getting used to seeing experienced players flogged once the bulk of season tickets sales are in.

I think the exodus started a while back!!!!

Should we perhaps assume that we weren't going to get a DR partner?

We kept being promised an announcement, and it's never happened - perhaps whatever options we had fell through, and this was the next best option?

Confirmed: Evans has gone to Leeds. As part of the agreement we will will also get a couple of Leeds players, which will be announced later in the month. www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/article/ ... -long-loan

Not sure how much money we will be getting. Official statement says he has gone on season long loan

Well if we just intend on filling the squad with other clubs young players and loans of players we have flogged then it isn't enticing me to many games I'll be honest.

I know! I can’t understand why JK is raiding that pool of well established championship players, all available without clubs and within our budget of £1.50 per match plus a packet of crisps for each win bonus

On the Rhinos forum ,one fan has suggested that the loan players might be Walters , Johnson ( a young hooker England Academy) Holroyd ( young 18 stone prop) and possibly Mustapha ( young back row).The latter depends on Leeds securing an overseas signing
To me that would look good business if the loans are long term.

Thought the Bulls had announced it was 2 young Leeds players not 4? Given the already youthful squad I don't see any great benefit in letting an experienced player leave to bring in more young players from other clubs. I'd personally rather just give our own a chance if that's where we are at. Obviously some fans will happily pay 20 odd quid to watch anyone in a Bulls shirt and that's their choice. I can't say it's convincing me right now though.
