Can you see my avatar?

If you can't, it's John Bateman signing for Bradford, not Hull or any other bolony you decided to make up.

Onwards and upwards - all through the crisis the threat of losing a clutch of our rising home grown talent was one of the main talking points on the board. So credit to the club and the player for putting another piece of the foundations for the future in place.
I stil think next season could be tough - but if we can start to assemble a core of young players dedicated to the team then were are certainly heading in the right direction.

Keep it up, it's great

I stopped reading at that point

He told me he'd be there in ten minutes but he wasn't.

I waited for another hour and a half before I had to suffer the indignity of giving the table up.

I was so embarrassed and threw my pink carnation on the ground in disgust.

Absolutely fantastic news.

Even better to hear FC talking about building a side around him, Whitehead and Olby.

That was the one comment that struck me as a bit odd tbh. He mentions olby but neglects to include o'brien.seemed a bit strange given we gave him a five year deal at easter.

Fantastic news!

Now for a couple of props and a stand off.

Fantastic news. Well done Bulls. And thank you John.

What a fantastic signing for the club and i fully applaud this kids loyalty shown towards the Bulls

If clubs with large amounts of money are able to just cherry pick all the best junior talent then that isn't the way i wish SL to evolve and progress

Everyone heard the rumors regarding Bateman being targeted by the Wolves, Stevie Ward was also targeted by both the Wolves and Hull FC but also stayed loyal to the Rhino's

All the best to the Bulls in your revival
