Finally some good news in the off season.
I wouldn't listen too much to the money being said, but obviously he'll be top earner at bulls.
This is great news, especially to those who don't rate deacon at all now.

Absolutely. Part of me ecstatic about Orford signing but it is also tinged with a bit of sadness with Deacon's departure. I think purely on a Football level it is the right move for the Bulls though.
Cannot wait to see Orford in action at Odsal next year, I just hope some of the Bradford public now get behind the club and get our crowds rising once again. They wanted a marquee name.. they have one now.

Certainly puts our team in a new perspective, I just hope our back line is good enough to take advantage - I cannot see any other players coming in now to be fair.
Pack looks good, halves look good, back line eh not sure. Think we are missing a winger that can finish consistently.
Agreed though, great coup for the club.

| We have potentially two exciting players at 6 and 7, whether they can strike up a winning combination though remains to be seen. However I rate Orford as a big improvement on what we had a week ago. Our right side still looks a bit shakey though and we will need Reardon to bounce back in style if we're to be considered contenders once again. Doubt we have any further announcements.. although Macca did mention a couple of balls in the air!  |

I just feel if we could pull one quality back out of the bag we would be in a much better position.
Should shake the competition up next year IMO.
And to all those who reckon he is too old, Manly offered him a two year deal in the NRL and to be honest we don't exactly have an old squad next year and IMO we need the experience.

But with our final quota spot filled it difficult to think of who that 'quality back' could be. Has Tadulala actually announced where he is going yet?
I reckon the club are going to give Crookes his chance next season, possibly on the wing to start with. |

Was thinking that myself, cant think ive seen him announce a move yet.
Crookes should be given a shout without a doubt.
Whats your excuse for being up at this time? |

Finally the Bradford public will see what they have been missing since Robbie. Macca has no excuses now, you've got to aim for a top 6 with the HBs you've now got. Sure you are still weak at centre & wing, but so are most teams in the competition, relatively yours are as good as the majority.
