| Heard today he's had his contract terminated by Warrington.
I'd welcome him back to Odsal, what about you?

| Surely, given the injuries he's had, he'd be a huge risk?
Sure I heard around the time of him leaving, about an attitude problem and the amount of money he was asking for?
I'd stay away, especially with the charges against him.

Edited for accuracy.
None of the players who left Bulls for Wire have exactly turned out to be fans' favourites - be it down to injuries or otherwise. Maybe the club knew a bit more about what it was doing than some gave it credit for?

| It seems Smith is instigating the clear out at Wire that is needed at Bradford. Shame for Reardon, he seems a mile from the international of a few years back.

I'd suggest anyone who says yes who was opposed to Bird because of his (alleged) off-field antics is showing signs of extreme hypocrisy?

Yes Id welcome him back, provided he was clear of this recent injury.
And as for the attitude about cash when he left I think thats true, however, that was at a time when he thought he deserved a certain level of reward for his performances/improvements within a top 4 club at the time (Harry sunderland medal winner for us lets remember) and that other clubs were prepared to pay that higher level. Now he obviously does not warrant that level of pay and probably realises that himself, so he might be more humble this time, greatful for another chance and accept a wage more in line with what he's done in the past couple of seasons...i.e, not too much! we could pick up a decent full back/outside back on the cheap.
If his injuries are a real concern sign him on a pay as you play type deal.

I would like your opinions on what is going on at bradford.
There seems to be a backlash against deacon, he kicked warrington out of the game when i was at odsal last year.
Your transfer policy seems to be, get rid of all star names and buy lots of players that are slightly better than average so that you can't tell the difference between them?
You will be in a better position to judge then me, whats your views?

We get to see the players weekly. It was a similar position when we lost Fielden. Most people were unhappy, not because he left but the manner of his leaving. At the time he had had only 2 or 3 decent games in the previous 18 months the WCC being the standout. I feel that Deacon is getting into a similar position. When he is godd he is very good but can a club with so little talent afford to carry him for the majority of mediocre games. I also think you are being very kind when you say we buy slightly better than average players otherwise there must be some real dross out there.

| Whats going on is that we don't have a wealthy backer in the mould of a Moran to bankroll the club or deal with unexpected financial arisings; we have a very expensive old stadium we can't afford to run; we had a little local difficulty with our near-neighbours that could have bankrupted us (thanks Chris); and - I suspect from what we were told and anyway from looking at the squad - we have probably not used some of the offshore and similar schemes that got some clubs a lot more bang for your bucks but now also a visit from HMRC and claims of salary cap cheating.

| Well as cover for FB/Centre and provided he's over his injury (let's not forget Feather seems to be doing very well at Cas now he's actually gotten fit). The only question that hangs over him is the jail time. If he's likely to go down then we should stay away.

You'd condone someone convicted of assaulting his estranged wife at the club?

| Contract terminated? Warrington must be prepared to cut their losses for some reason. Maybe he's not getting over his injury or his recent troubles are an influence. I'd say it depends on those factors as to whether we should be interested.
Remember his case is sub judice until he's been sentenced so no speculation please folks.
