He seemed to me genuinely quite upset and far from happy afterwards about that. As I said earlier, I think (probably because he says it how he feels) that was why he fell into the trap of arguing back at those who had a go. Totally understandable IMO but I wish he'd been able to bite his tongue. Not that I could have.

To be honest, in his position I think I would have been very tempted to say "Sod it then, if you know a better deal go find it. I'm doing all this for nothing, why should I bother? See if one of you fancies trying to do a better (unpaid) job?"

I think some people need to remember that his opposite numbers at the likes of Wigan, Wire, Saints, Leeds and Hudds are all full-time paid marketing professionals and with a load more resources to play with. Indeed, the Marketing Director at Wigan used to be marketing at Bradford, in the days when we could afford to pay someone to do the job. When I asked Bennett before the meeting about his marketing budget, his reply was "I don't HAVE a marketing budget".

Andrew Bennet did not deserve the flack he got. The ones near me clamouring for higher prices and more success just did not get what he was saying though.

However, had I not already pledged and paid, nothing I heard last night would have encouraged me to do so.

I was sat with Adey and commented that some of the things been said were a little contradictory from what we had been told before.

Medley's slating of Joe Wardle made me chuckle.

What was it medley said about wardlE?

He said he did embroidery in his spare time and smelt of wee.

Can anyone tell me what the supporters around the far side were saying to poor Andrew to get him arguing back at them?

The wall to my right blocked out the sound

Lol, Adey. Seriously, what did he say?

That he went to Hudds fill his wallet and that the Bulls want players who want to play for them, who have pride in the shirt. It's not all about the pay.

Something Mick Potter mentioned was the role of the loose forward has changed over the last few seasons and the days of the "ball playing loose forward" have gone. Maybe this gives us a clue as to next years pack line up.

I thought Donno was a ball playing loose? Where does this leave him?

Chris Bridge seems to be doing pretty well as a ball playing LF.
Are you sure this wasn't just a cover up for the fact that Langley is incapable of throwing a pass?
