It would have been interesting what his decision would have been if Fax did actually table an offer. One team on the way up and another on the way down, probably not the easiest choice by any means especially with the desire to play for his hometown team at some point.

It’s sad that committed long term Fax fans like yourself feel the need to come on here and stir things up with comments about how “we’re on the way down”. You’ve been around long enough to rise above that nonsense surely?

We both happen to follow clubs that have had much better days in the past. Both clubs have been the victims of useless owners on many occasions. Both clubs have had the begging buckets out. Both clubs will fail in winning promotion this year.

Why the petty point scoring?

No, you're the liar. You said "rumours around the game" when it turns out you now claim it's just something you were told by some un-named Dewsbury player, and not "rumours around the game" at all.

I would ask how he would know, unless he was hiding in a cupboard in the Bradford changing room, but I'm not actually interested.

Maybe next time you are having a chat you'd ask how come a number of players have recently been signing new deals with the club, seeing as they're all so unhappy with it?

I guess that's cover for Gaskell if true.

Agreed. The way he's gloating you'd think Fax are top of championship! In a few weeks Bradford could be easily 3rd and Fax be in the shield. Equally vice versa. All this "Bradford's on their way down, Fax n their way up" Bradford currently get double the attendance Fax do, are full time, a hugely successful junior academy. Fax are at least 5 years off that. Fax's biggest challenge will be when they go FT. Sheffield have proved that the transition isn't always straight forward.

I actually want Fax to do well, one of the best rugby stadiums going. A good solid support base that if in SL, would exceed at least 3 SL clubs. Laying some good foundations for a good future hopefully.

Sadly people like Greg are why this sport never goes anywhere. They would rather a rival club fails than their both clubs succeed and enjoy a healthy rivalry.

As for the mood in the camp, the team spirit and togetherness is actually one of our strong points. In fact the culture and togetherness of the Bradford club over the years has always been one of the best.

How did he know? He was sat straight behind them with the rest of the Dewsbury non playing first team squad. He said it was embarrassing and no surprise they are doing badly if thats what the spirit in the camp was like.

As for players signing new deals maybe it is simply a case of them not been able to get a deal at better clubs and wanting to stay full time leaving Sheffield and Bradford as their only option and we all know nobody wants to play for Sheffield.

Loads of turd.One player who had agreed terms with a new team under Lowes now wishes he was stopping under the totally new atmosphere under Smith no longer like been at school.

Curious you should use these words. I've been binge watching RL coaching seminar videos over the last few weeks, specifically those given by that generation of Aussie club coaches from the '70 World Cup leading up to '82 and the Invincibles. From that first professional era in RL I think there was only Jack Gibson who didn't have a previous life as a school teacher. A subsequent generation, but Brian Smith also began his professional life as a school teacher.

We have signed one but not gaskell

A bulls player? Or a stand off?

Probably Ferguson I guess.

Yep but wishes he hadn't now.

Can't he just change his mind? Players do it to us all the time? What's the worst that can happen? Huddersfield get a bit cross?
