Yeah that's exactly why we're annoyed. Because our ex-chairman who has practically destroyed our much loved club once had a little tiff with the chairman of another club. Are you for real? Why do Leigh fans always have to make it about themselves?

Yes I am real, so get off your high horse and accept that although I'm in the "pro bulls" camp, leigh have just offered a lifeline to a young man who had been sold a bulls dream, flown 10k miles with his family and not been paid.
So I'm not going to sit there whilst our owner is again mocked because he offered this player a job, helped a fellow man and added a player to an "NFL roster "that would have been 2 players lighter if it wasn't for "bellend" Green.
F-all to do with it being about Leigh.

| Don't sit there. Walk away and get it shouted at the back of your head.

Yes but we have all been sat here watching, hoping for
A miracle because I for one enjoy having the Bulls around and hoping they gave KR a dose of the championship.
Some of us find it more difficult to walk away.

Don't let it bother you buddy. You've got a good chairman who's done very well for you. You're in super league and life is good. There's a hell of a lot of hurt over this way so don't take the comments to heart.

Agreed thanks for the civil response, I'm looking for competition in the championship, I always was when we were in there.
I'm a RL fan, a competitive Bradford is a must.

| Brandon Westerman was released by Cas today - related to Joe Westerman - he's got a lot of potential. He'd be one I'd look at if I was looking for players on the quick.

However, to digress back to my original response to the gent who remarked on Leigh's squad size and Derek's well publicised mission to alter the SC, Leigh still only have a squad of 27/28 possibly 29? Which actually is very low.
I do and always have wanted Bradford to be a force but Jees some of your crew are pi$$ed.'" ]
Not taking anything out on you & I really couldn't give a flying how many players Leigh have in there squad, it was the relevance of the little spat that I couldn't fathom.

Cheers bud, we'll know more about our prospects after tomorrow I suspect and hopefully we can all start to discuss actual rugby league a bit more.
I hope Leigh take it to a few of the established sl clubs and show good teams can emerge from the championship, I think you'll have a pretty decent season, enjoy the ride.

| Sorry *again* for the interference on your board but, many days & many more pages have passed & I have a question .....
WTF happened with Rohan ?
I know you guys liked & rated him & many hoped he would stay. Just wondering as I missed the occurence of RS departure (I have been busy working & being a dad), why did the new owners not keep him ? What did he do to deserve losing his job *despite showing great faith/courage/tenacity in the face of all the prevailing issues*.
Or ....
Was it Rohan's choice ?
Mental note *page 19* for my reference to answers.
Cheers & Best of British Bulls fans.

| New coach is to be announced tomorrow, of apparent decent pedigree, and if rumours are to be considered, he has flown in from AUS.
Rohan stated he walked away from the club as he and the new owners couldn't see eye to eye, especially on the subject of the club's identity (full time/part time/competitiveness).
I'm a firm believer that the coach they wanted had already agreed terms, as a result, in not surprised talks were short and frosty.

| Love how all the supporters of other clubs are doing us a favour by taking players off our hands and giving them a wage. Just admit that the player has become available and he would do your club some good. Don't pretend it is for the good of the rugby family or some other bollox

Yeah, it does sound like they deliberately low-balled Smith with their offer as they'd got their own people lined up for the coaching staff.
At least you'd hope that was the case and the new owners aren't just another in the line of assmonkeys who've steered this club into once iceberg after another

As much as Degsy rubbed people up the wrong way I think he may have been quite clever in doing it.
It led to a rivalry between us that's actually seen most Bulls fans happy to see Leigh upset the apple cart to the point I've adopted Leigh as the one I want to succeed in SL. Conversely, whilst most visitors to the forums are here with helpful tips on tailoring, accountancy and overcoming delusion, the Leigh gang have been massively supportive.
As with Leeds, I really look forward to the day we play you again, just not in the Champs.m eh? I hope 29 is enough to keep you safe! Good luck!
