I can't speak for how they are with signings. However, from my recent dealings with the Warrington club regarding the gate receipts money they so superbly donated to the Bullbuilder Hardship Fund, I can only say they come across as an extremely professional and thoroughly reasonable outfit. So it would not surprise me at all if that same attitude extended to their approach to signings.

You don't have to call yourself a Giant to be able to stand tall.

Great news!!!!

Quick question... Has whitehead's and o'brians contracts been put forward now?? They were held back if I remember right?

yes they have

Yes, many talk the talk, but John Bateman has proved that he's a Bull through and through, the best news for ages and a massive and well-deserved finger to all the trolls and [iagents provocateurs[/i.

It also says a great deal about the team spirit around the place. As has been pointed out, obviously players and their agents will have done their best to make contingency plans but once the Bulls were back in business, apart from Kopczak, the squad that we knew about remains intact (we alredy knew who was likely leaving).

OK Bulls haven't really put a foot wrong yet, have they? Instead of pontificating in the press, they do seem to have the knack of quietly going about their business in the background and getting things done. Big raps to them, as this is actually the biggest news bar saving the club that we could have got. If our biggest assets are happy to commit to the cause, it bodes well for our future.

John Bateman - you're a star. Glad it will be with us.

What he said....

Excellent, rains on leedslovers brigade with his imaginary contacts, had it on good authority from nathan at rfl that bateman loves the bulls and will sign extension if possible, but other teams fans were adamant he was going even after omar bought us.


Even if wife promised to put on a lesbian show for me it wont be as good a news as this.

I know. The last one of her's I saw was rubbish.

Realy good news guys real shot at those that just think money talks , great to see some strong player loyalty and heres to much more and looking forward to many more leeds - bradford battles

John told me himself that he was going to Hull as they had offered him 100k in first yr so thats who my contact was unlike some on here I dont have imaginary contacts as I know quite a few players personally
you must have broke the piggy bank to keep him hope you get your £s worth

Can you see my avatar?

If you can't, it's John Bateman signing for Bradford, not Hull or any other bolony you decided to make up.

Onwards and upwards - all through the crisis the threat of losing a clutch of our rising home grown talent was one of the main talking points on the board. So credit to the club and the player for putting another piece of the foundations for the future in place.
I stil think next season could be tough - but if we can start to assemble a core of young players dedicated to the team then were are certainly heading in the right direction.

Keep it up, it's great
