And then an influx of Wakefield fans pointing out that Bradford were the only club not to have their share of someone elses central funding taken from them.

Gale contract extension

Wou
D have hoped for more important news tbh.

Of all the things I'd like resolved, Gale's contract wasn't high on the list. Had we not had the last couple of year's interesting times, I might be tempted to say that it proves we have a plan, some money and ambition but these days I daren't assume anything

I reckon his agent has done some great work, not sure we were after him at all.

Still good news for your club.

I'm happy with that

1 - It is highly symbolic, surely? Shows Bulls can and are able to retain players, in the face of attack from outside and antics of scumbag vermin agents?

2 - The report in the T&A earlier included: " ...He is also in line to be handed the club captaincy if, as expected, Matt Diskin retires at the end of 2014." - so it would seem the head coach sees more in him than just another player re-signing? And so, again, this could be a highly-symbolic announcement?

Thought it was going to be news regarding Bradford Bulls latest takeover bid as the prospective new owner rides into town?

Agree with Adey, this is more than just a player agreeing a contract extension,if we had lost Carvell AND Gale 4 days before season starts it would be a major blow.The more I think about it the more I think this shows some real intent

Two sensible posts from Adeybull and Roger. Gale is massive for the club and to have lost him so close to the season would have been a major blow. Doesn't say much for Hull though does it? Sure they look like they've managed to take a 32 year old prop by waving the money in front of him but they couldn't get the one they really wanted. Their half backs are rubbish and Radford knows this so to not get Gale shows they are not really a good proposition for quality players.

carvell the one where after, gale seems like an agent getting the best deal for him and thats what hes done, screwed more money from you, imo dont think we was in for him, as for our halfbacks been rubbish lets see ,

I'm not convinced we were after him, not seen any thing from the club, which is different from Carvell.

I haven't seen anything to suggest Gale is better than our current halfbacks, I rather have Miller, his stats show him as a better attacking player and that's in a lot less games.

Carvell is one we want and desperately need and look like get, maybe 32 but still one of the best props in the league.

I see this as extremely good news, I think it will bring more stability to the team. It shows that they want to stay and the ones who maybe had second thoughts (for perfectly good reasons) have a little more reassurance.

We can't really miss Carvell because we never really had him. So just get rid and find another couple of props fast, even if it means getting lesser known French or a fringe NRL player.

And in other breaking news shock, fans of club likely to succeed in signing one player big him up, but diss the other guy that it looks like they will not get...
