Tbh I would love to swap Halley for Atkins as somebody said, but I really can't see it happening.

It was me, never say never eh! Ryan is a Bradford lad after all and was denied his chance by old 'Nobby' who has now gone so who knows

If I see him in Pudsey on Saturday night I'll start tapping him up

Came from Dudley Hill didn't he??

totally agree, but thats one of the down sides to supporting the bulls, we let so many good young players go. moore, pryce, reardon, parker... the list goes on. halley is ten times the player sherriffe, platt, nero and tupou are and will want alot less money then they will. he is a young lad who gives 100% and will only get better.

let him go and were mad.

He'll go alright, as you know we need players that the rest can keep up with, Halley is just too fast to keep.

speaking of whom, has anyone heard anything regarding tupou's injury or is the injury all just an excuse while we come to a deal to release him on the quite?

We have better forwards than Richard Moore.

Karl Pryce was never as good as his brother.

Stuart Reardon had one good season, where is he now?

Parker is so good he's at Salford, we have better than him too.



While I don't think any of that lot are world beaters IMO you're going overboard about Halley.

These listst that go on and on are mostly players who were roundly derided as lightweights, makeweights, non-triers and generally "YouNeedABetterClassOfPlayerThanThats" when with us. Of course, when they move on, the same people then start saying how bad it was to let them go.


The second point is that you can't keep everyone, if you could, then no team would or could ever sign a good player from elsewhere.

No he was from Morley Rugby Union when he joined us but played amateur for Middleton and he had a spell in the Leeds academy.

I stand corrected

You may be thinking of Dave Halley who was from Dudley Hill along with Koppy.

He came from Stanningley.

Not directly he didn't.

Swap deal was put on the table by McNamara. Wanted either Rooney or Latu. Told to go away and think of a more reasonable offer. Wakefield want a cash deal. DH wants to stay at BV. We have the money to sign him & have Peterson coming back, whos a real class act.

To be honest bulls fans i think the vast majority of the cards fall with John Kear rather than Stevie Mac.
