Bulls site (Menzies interview) says Orford expected next week.

visa system must have really improved this year. how long did that take 3 weeks?

Another re hash from guess who no not that "Guess Who" www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/bradford ... 5892225.jp

Another re hash from guess who no not that "Guess Who" www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/bradford ... 5892225.jp

so it's just another rehash of the same old rubbish. no new information.

now, i'd expect that the club would confirm registration of a player with the player or his agent. or at least confirm signed copy of the offered contract has been recieved.

now, if this is the case, why didn't mr orr get concerned that he'd had confirmation for kearney's move but not walker's?

could it have anything to do with him looking round for a bigger pay day and now his greed has come back and kicked him in the ?

As previously stated in the thread - the SL Operating Rules require ALL new contracts to be notified to the RFL within 48 hours of coming into existence. As the club obviously didn't do this then they didn't think said contract existed! You'd think that Walker's agent would have wondered why (if he'd been @sed to check the rules that is)

Walkers latest tweet:

@karmichaelhunt yeah mate, got married, it was all time, i'm lookin at clubs in France, the people i've been talking 2 says Biarritz is nice

Looks as though he's finally worked out he isn't coming to play for us.

And possibly a switch to union by the sounds of that

The Biarritz RU club has a budget this year of about £12m! (that's their headline number, doesn't say if thats for everything or just playing staff. But, either way, thats a lot of dosh compared to RL clubs)

Saw this on the news online site Orford Gains Visa Bradford Bulls - Official Site 14:49 www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/Error.ht ... ntent.aspx which leads to this error message, has somebody jumped the gun??

Confirmed on rlSporting Liferl too now.

Will look forward to hearing the reception he gets at Odsal when the Catalans play there.


Also confirms no settlement was made between us and Walker. Which kind of proves he didn't have a leg to stand on.

Think the Dragons are going to hurt have a strong team again this year, but the loss of Bird and Ryles will really impact their go forward. Johnson is great, but he's hardly a man of immense stature to fill the opposition fear is he?

What will their backline be?

Greenshields
Walker
Bell
Mogg
Pelo
McGuire
Bosc

More likely McGuire to be playing at 9, Mogg at 6 and Raguin in the centres.

It was in the League Weekly today that Orford has got his visa through. I'm surprised there hasn't been an official announcement from the club.
