"On injury leave from his English club, Matt Orford was at Brookvale Oval in mid-2010 when the Raiders stole a surprise win over Manly that turned around their season.

Watching on the sidelines, the Dally M-winning halfback decided there and then to turn his back on the Super League and make a return to Australia for good."

And this, boys and girls, is finally the admission of what a lying little toerag that scumbag actually is. There in black and white is the confirmation of what we had all come to realise months ago - that he never had any intention of coming back.

""The first game I went to (when I was in Australia) was Manly-Canberra," the former Sea Eagle said.

"Obviously to sort of catch up with old (Manly teammates), but as soon as I saw that game, I knew straight away what I wanted to do.

"I wanted to come back to the NRL.""


He can go rot, as far as I am concerned.

Is it just me or do those oz press reports seem a bit garbled. They start off saying orford has got a release from bradford and has signed for canberra. Then when they get into detail it changes to he hopes to finalise a release in next couple of days and canberra are hopeful of signing him by end of week. Maybe a little further to go with this sorry saga yet- Although can't see it dragging on more than another day or two now.

Remember, your average ocker struggles with the English language when it gets anything much harder than "you Pommie barsteward"...

Well he has been removed from the Squad List on the Bulls site, but I doubt that we will hear anything official till the paperwork properly is signed and release terms agreed, feeding the press in Oz is just a tactical pressure ploy by madam mimmis.

I have also put a reply on the Canberra Times, but made sure the emotive bit left out

Well, if he shafts you over the way he has done with us, you're more than welcome to come back on here and tell us we're not being very nice. But he deserves all the bad luck that comes his way. Anyway, after yesterday, if he can stay fit and play like that, the annoyance of Orford going is eased beautifully by Herbert.

Whilst I don't particularly wish Orford any personal success, I would love for Canberra to win the NRL next year (and with the Orford signing I think you have a very good chance).

I don't have any problem with the way that Canberra has conducted itself throughout this (at least publicly) but the reason I want them to win is so that you come over here for the WCC challenge.

I'm sure we'd all love to give Orford a warm welcome - even if it's unlikely to be against us.

Mmm. Not our fault they've signed a two-faced toerag though is it? I hope his form turns to sh?t, and he spends the next 2 years on the bench in the Toyota Cup, before being released as surplus to requirements.

And I hope he gets piles.

Look at me. I've got a website! Go on look at it!! please …

although in that article;

"Canberra Raiders Chief Executive Don Furner commentsWe’re hopeful Matt can secure a release from Bradford and we can come to terms with him by the end of the week,”

I'll wait until Bradford say so I reckon, looks all but done, but I need to hear it from our end first...we've had enough of dodgy press briefing from down under on this one.

Bit of luck, the bügger already has.

And boils.

Maybe nappy rash too.

Try there is usually somewhere there showing games, or try livescorehunter.com

at some of the practically self proclaimed "sensible" posters acting so embarrassingly on this and numerous other threads.

Some people should really get a life.

There's another website that I think streams them too. But I don't know how legal it is, so I'm not posting it on here and getting my backside kicked

All I will say is that if you were to google, for example, the Hull KR Head Coach's first name, it might well show the way

Glad it has all been resolved. Does anyone know who we will be signing to replace him. I read yesterday that there is another good signing imminent does anyone know who it is????
