| Big if, but if Wire were interested before, maybe the Blythe deal been made permanent and Gareth Carvell would be an option?! I've heard Carvell linked with Wakey for next season.
That would be the ideal swap IMO. A bit of leadership and some good go forward.

Give me some PACE or Guile/Leadership at half back,so Riley or Myler would do for me.

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

| Going back to what I was saying earlier, interesting that nothing further has come out. What would Whitehead do if nobody comes in for him?
As for Bateman, he probably gets more stick on here from some than Whitehead, I don't know why, but I'd guarantee plenty offers if he was on the market.

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.: |

| Bateman's contract was negotiated after Whitehead, and from a relatively better position of strength and is a shorter deal.
I would assume that he is on better terms than Whitehead, which is probably why Whitehead's agent (who for some strange reason tied his client to a long term deal with a financially struggling club) has now advised his client to hand in a transfer request.

| Interesting that a quick look on the boards shows a thread on the Wire board, where there is hardly any interest in Whitehead, and not even on the radar on the Wigan nor the Leeds boards.

| JB is a better all round player than Elliott; I'd be really upset if he wanted away. Same applies to James Donaldson, who maybe doesn't have quite the attacking flair that Whitehead was showing a year or so back, but can defend far better - and generally speaking, without the penalties.
It also opens up the opportunity for Danny Addy to make a claim for the no. 13 job and for Tom Olbison to take on more game time and responsibility...for sure it's disappointing to lose a player but it just gives opportunities to others.

| If he doesn't want to play at the Bulls let him go , from the outside he looks like the kind of lad who on his day can be a matchwinner , but on other days a total liability defensively .
What you cannot buy at any price is desire , He is not likely to be willing to put his body on the line for his coach or team mates at Bradford again , so is best off out the door .
I for one totally support the clubs stance on this . Well done Francis Cummins .

| Also of the 3 players in the academy who train with the first team, Olly Roberts plays 2nd row.

| I can't understand why he'd do this now and not the end of the season unless he was confident he had a deal waiting. Also what's changed? He was so happy and had a desire to stay with the bulls he signed a 5 year contract, something must have happened for that view to change so dramatically.

| I assume that there is solid interest from another SL club
He and his agent will have considered all of the possible consequences that his desire to leave the club mid contract might ensue and decided to go ahead regardless.
Why has it been done this way and what is its objective?
It places him in an invidious position with his employers and fellow players - one that will only get more acrimonious as weeks go by.
The Bulls hold his registration and contract and are able to not select him for any or all future games as long as they continue to pay his salary. That's surely not what he wants.
So what is his decision really all about? and why this timing?
There must be some history behind it
OK needs to stand firm on this issue
