I don't think it's as simple as Trin don't need him so he's in the Bradford team. He's not a shoe-in by any means. I can see him floating around a bit and only the lad himself will know if that feels like a good result.

Myers isn't getting picked by us unless we have a few injuries. I make him 4th choice behind Blake, Armitage and Gill.

Agreed. But with a four match ban he won't be doing much for anyone for a while.

Ok. This isn't how I expected the (voluntary) Xmas shutdown of the site to restart. Never thought I'd see 2 weeks go by without anyone posting on the forum.

We've sacked Appo.
Lots of information in the public domain.
I'm not putting it up here.

Club have acted swiftly.

Credit to the club for acting so quickly once charged.

Only option IMO given the gravity of the charges.

Have they really, depends on who knew about the Adult Protection Team report of April 2024, it would be difficult to imagine that the player and his associates were not interviewed in the report process, would you expect that the player could have discussed the allocations with his agent or even team mates or the club welfare officer. Is it a bit of a stretch to think that everyone at the Bulls was oblivious to the fact that player was the subject of the above report to the extent that he was retained on a two year contract extension in August 2024 some five months after the April Adult Protection Team report.

Didn't take someone long to comment without any evidence that the club knew.
Appo maybe hasn't told the club as they weren't aware of this and the police/protection unit aren't going to tip off when an active investigation is under way.

From a purely RL view it is a big loss to the side and one who we will need to replace.

Obviously massively disappointing to see a player who was held in such high regard amongst the supporter base charged with such serious offences.

There have been a few high profile NRL players going through the same and eventually ending up with no case or not guilty. So we won't know the reasoning behind the CPS decision until the court case.
But its very disappointing and good on the Club for exercising the clause which is written into all modern day sports contracts, which while it looks delayed they have to wait until it becomes public by the Authorities to avoid prejudging the case and possible legal action by both sides
