If we could get him back on a significantly reduced deal then it could be a shrewd bit of business. we get paid by bath, dont have to pay him for second half of last season and get him re-signed on less money. Big question is whether he can ever get his fitness back up to an acceptable level. imo a lot of last years performances were due to him not wanting to get injured and jeopardise the move to union for big money. If he came back fully committed and with a point to prove then it might be a different story and he's not too old to successfully turn it round.

could be interesting to watch

Times move on and I'll remember Shonny as the best centre I ever saw (including Newlove) in a Bulls shirt. His last two seasons were a sign of things to come and he should stay at Bath if he's any sense.

Gareth Raynor bought out his Leicester contract to return to us. Think it was quite a big one iirc, maybe not as big a one as Hape, but still

How long did Raynor have left on his contract though?

I think Hape signed quite a long deal and he's only been there half of his first season.

Unless stevo#4 confirms it, ignore this rumour is all I'm saying.

Hape is coming back to league is he. Well i hope it's not for us the way he tossed off for 6 momnths with us last season left a sour taste in my mouth. He's made his bed time to lie in it Mr Hape.

I wouldn't see why Leeds would be interested in a league player who last played league in a very poor team.

I realise that this is a rubbish attempt at trolling Lenny but it also does not make any sense. There are good players out there who play with rubbish sides that Leeds, I am sure, would be interested in.

Sam Burgess perhaps?

Agree entirely!

Eddie, it's the first hours of a brand spanking new year, and you're supposedly a Bulls fan, on the Bulls board. I ken Hogmanay has nae lightened your mood, but don't you think on reflection that a Bulls fan, on the Bulls board, before a pass has been thrown, calling your team "a rubbish side" is a bit poor form on your part?

Why would Leeds need Sam when they have his more promising brother?

I take it your sarcasm detector is not working today FA? I knew I should have put in a wink smiley in order to help out the hard of understanding.

Iirc, he signed a three year deal after the 2002 season, and then bought out his contract either half way through 2003 (after a one game appearance on loan earlier on) or at the end of 2003. I'm not sure if for the second half of 2003 he came on loan again or he re-signed for us

Jog on.

And if we signed Doris Sinfield we'd have the best player from that family.

You don't rate the three times GF winning captain?
