This is one of very few deals that there should be no negativity about. Big ask I know on these boards! Bradford needed an experienced/quality player in the halves and the Deacon move to Wigan is just about as perfect a fit as I've ever seen for all parties. As for the money paid for Orford; firstly no one knows how much that is except for a rumour and anyway, if he gets you back into contentention it will be worth every penny. The proof of the pudding will come next season.

Spot on.

By 'eck, bad case of general positive consensus breaking out on this forum!

Remember this moment, it's a few years before you'll see it again!

Will bradford bring out a half and half top..half rab and half maroon...manly sea bulls...

He`s a class act, but with all academy departures Leeds are doing couldnt we have got Richie Spedding..havent heard his name in a while so presume he hasn`t kicked on like they hoped

Wash your mouth out with soap and water now you filthy tongued reprobate

I have tried really hard to keep my feelings to myself BUT



How can the Bulls buy a 31 year old from Oz to replace a legend ??











I will be supporting Wigan in 2010.

I'm always positive just show it in a different way.

I sincerely hope that you are applauding me for my words of wisdom & NOT for the fact that I will support Wigan
