Don't want Cruston anywhere near a Bulls shirt again.

I agree. As much as I sympathise with his decision to jump ship, and I may do the same in his position, he made his Bradford bed and now sleeps in it.

I totally get why him, Carvell, Kopczak & Sammut did what they did. But that's bridges burned as far as I'm concerned.

There must be nearly enough for a team now, the Bradford Judas 13...

I suppose you could add Gareth O'Brien to the list. If I'm honest, I cried a little inside when he won the MPG for Salford.

Phil Joseph confirmed this morning on a 2 year deal. It doesn't state where the "diminutive powerful forward "will be playing.

Welcome back Al Murray. He's the new water carrier. He'll be bringing the lagers on.

He looks nothing like him.

Think that probably sums it up quite well to be honest.

Although as I've said previously, at least you know you'll get effort out of Joseph. Unlike someone of the bone idle buggers we've had recently.

For some reason I was half expecting the announcement to be news on an assistant, I know they've only just finished but it'll be pre-season again soon.

I expect Chev to be given the gig once again but I'm not sure where he stands (besides near the subs bench, fnar fnar).

As for Joseph, meh, he's a forward and hopefully a cheap one. From what I remember he's a decent tackler too.

I didn't realize Longo had quit after a week as general manager or whatever role he was appointed to

In the T&A piece this morning about Joseph's signing, it's mentioned that Chev was the one who contacted him about coming back. Suggests Chev himself will be around too.
