Great addition to what looks like a strong squad for next season. The only way the board were going to replace a fan favourite like Sam was to sign a star player and there aint many better than Orford.
Hes a great scrum half and a proven leader. My only doubt is how 4 Overseas players will settle in, in a new enviroment.
Definetly glad i got a season ticket now!

Well given 3 of them are from the same team, two of them are best mates and they're joining another ex-team mate who has obviously been instrumental in them all coming, I can't imagine it will too hard.
What with that and the marked similarity between manly in the summer and the environs of Bradford in the winter I'm sure they'll love it 
Seriously though, an Ox is only a castrated Bull, once he's got his balls back at Bradford the sky will be our oyster, if that's not mixing my metaphors... |

The only negative I can find is that there is nothing to be negative about in this deal. |

So given all the new signings what should your 17 look like for next year? I guess Orford will be playing alongside Sykes now Jeffries has gone?

Other than the fact he's an Aussie, he is allegedly costing a fortune and he's the wrong side of 30 ...

And Manly were quite happy giving him a two year deal. By that logic hes got 4 years in SL.
Nothing wrong with having some experience bearing in mind the rest of the squad (apart from Menzies) is pretty young. |

Indeed.
We must be worrying the opposition fans a bit, given how they are all so keen to deride this signing? Or, maybe, we've hacked them off because this inconvenient truth of a signing shatters their perceptions about the terminal decline of Bradford? Either way...are we bovvered? |

Deacon officially signed for Wigan according to the T&A - hardly a surprise but now seems to be confirmed.
