Bradford could have signed Kevin Sinfield when Henry Paul left for Union. There was also Brett Kimmorley a few years ago one of the papers said we had signed him.

I'd have liked Kimmorley, but Sinfield would have been scraping the barrel a bit.

With the whole Mick Higham and Terry Newton deal, would you rather have Higham looking back? Newton just doesn't seem to have the heart anymore, although when he can be bothered he can be one of the best in SL.

... and yet it wasn't.

Titled edited, happy now?

Just heard Keith Woods on the radio saying that he nearly joined the Bulls for a spell in 1997. He was approached on behalf of the club by Robbie Paul, who knew him from his stint at Quins RU. The deal fell through only when Woods was picked for the Lions tour to South Africa.

Interesting to speculate if and how he would have fitted into the 97 squad. Presumably he'd have played back row rather than hooker. Given the timing I wonder if the collapse of the deal was the reason we signed Mike Forshaw? If so, this would probably be our most successful non-signing.

I think he would have done pretty well in league. He was a tough customer.

There were a lot of rumours linking the Bulls to Jamie Rooney, what happened to that one?

It never happened. Thank God!

But think of the lost marketing opportunities
