I’d love us to be runaway leaders but we’ve not managed that since our relegation. We couldn’t do it in L1 either!

A pretty handy squad coming together though. With a few additions and us pushing for those extra percentages gains we could turn some of the close losses to close wins and put ourselves up there.

Haha not at all. Realistically Bradford could be spending twice as much as the next team(Toulouse depending) and you have to think that is going to show on the field.

People dreaming of SL expanding to 14 teams is just a dream. SL chairman would never let it happen.

I'd be dubious about the claims coming out of Halifax that we are doubling their players contracts. They're having a tough time right now and are saying the right things to appease fans that are disappointed to see some of their better players leave.

If clubs are cutting cloth to suit smaller budgets then it stands to reason others will be paying more. Clubs losing their best players will always try and spin it to save face with their supporters. We've seen more than enough of that at the Bulls over the last 18 years.

Wonder how the recruitment to sign maizen from Whitehaven went.can play all along the backline with pace just what we are lacking .His try up there against us was outstanding.

Is Meadows confirmed? I must have missed that one.

Its just a case at the moment Bradford have more money to spend than every team barring Wakefield in this league. Its hard to blame them for trying to get the players in they want and its hard to blame agents for trying to screw every penny out of a club that they know is cash rich.

We're certainly short of a few backs. Think Okunbor is the only winger we have signed up. Is Taufua worth another year? He does heaps of work and is vital for getting us some go forward but he's had more than a few suspensions lately too. Despite that I'd still offer another year.

Not wishing any ill will upon Whitehaven, but it should be possible for us to sign Jake Maizen.

His last minute winner last week against Doncaster showcased the pace he has to offer. Would be a good addition for next year!

Hasn’t someone said recently he is joining Widnes?
