Just been announced on Radio Leeds that he won't be offered new contract as Bulls are looking at other options. Beaver was interviewed and said he has another season in him and would be looking for new Super League club.

Difficult decision for Potter to make as still inspirational but possible that next year could prove to be one year too many. More probable is that he will have a stormer for someone else though!!

Looking forward to giving him good send off after Wakey game!

At least (we) the fans can give him a proper send off. Potter needs to bring in someone of real quality to justify letting the Beaver go.

Assuming the poster has reported faithfully, its Morrison redux.

Powder dry on this one until we see what the "other options" amount to. As BB said, will need to be quality indeed to justify letting the Beaver go. No doubt he'll go to Wakey... Hope its as amicable as it can be.

In rugby terms that just doesn't stack up. Everything Menzies has done indicates he has at least a year left in him, if it was 2 or 3 years he was after I could understand it. Unless it is actually about money.

If it is correct (surprised Connor did not get it first if so) then maybe its more about the quota spot?

Gutted, he wants to stay at the club, he has done more than others to ensure another year so we let him go just like Morro last year, to all those who think we can replace him with a better player just ask yourself can we afford it NOT. In my opinion just another poor decision by whoever.

It all depends on what the other option is really on how I feel about this.

If Potter is after a specific target that requires a quota spot, and we can only get that target if we sign him now and on more than a 1 year deal, you can see the reasoning.

I just hope the other option is a long term one or a position we are more lacking in, as I can't see any like for like replacement being better than Beaver and it will be sad to see him go.

Menzies has been great for the club in difficult times but he will be turning 37 next season and he is quota. Hopefully he will be replaced with quality, i wonder if Flannery has been lined up?

Sad if true. Great player who has been excellent for us. I think he had another year in him.

I'm sorry but replacing Menzies with Flannery is just laughable.

Unless it's rlTHISrl Chris Flannery, in which case I can see the uses.....

(If he isn't....well......dead).

Connor has just tweeted re Menzies.
Full story tomorrow apparently, but seems as though it is indeed true.

Can't believe he might actually end up playing against us next season, really struggling to see the silver lining on this cloud right now.

I never rated him.

Sad to see him go. Hoping the replacement is (a) as good (b) as committed to the club. Don't let us down Mr Potter!

sad news, not at bradford a great deal of years but will be remembered very fondly. a class act and a shame more of his colleagues couldn't raise themselves to his standards.
