| this ones for adey.i take it you are the adey on the t&a forum.if not my apologies.you seem to be forgetting one thing about glenn morrisons similar situation when injured saying that orford couldnt wait to get away.morrison had a wife and two kids over here to be around him as he recuperated.orford is a single guy and therefore chose to return back to oz to be with his family.personally i dont have a problem with that and lets not forget that the last actual quote attributed to orford on this matter was exactly the same as we have heard today.now im not naive enough to think that theres no substance to any of the rumours floating round oz but if he does return as he says he will then lets get behind him and the rest of the team (including worrincy and hall) and push this mighty club forward again

No I am not the Adey on the T&A. I'm Adeybull on there, same as on here and same as on TotalRL. The only place I am Adey is on the Bullbuilder site.
The only real reason I post on the T&A (occasionally) at all is because so many folk make the same mistake as you have, and I post on there to show "Adey" is not me! I think even Duffy thought it was me...
Its a different guy (he told me once who he was, but can't remember his surname).
Surely if you had read my own posts on here you'd have seen that my own view on this subject is the same as yours?

| I would say a left field signing is someone who we havent been linked to on the rumour mill. Eg ah van, raynor, royston.

| Quote: Mick Gledhill "Leon
Pretty sure there is no definition of left field that fits Leon returning unfortunatly, keep praying though
And as this is the Orford thread that's hardly left field at all and anyway tomorrows announcement has nothing to do with Orford. He's contracted to return in November and will do so unless he can secure a release..... the wait continues.

| After finally getting to listen to the interview with Ryan on radio Leeds I dont think anyone should get excited. That smacked to me off a statement drafted by a lawyer. It was littered with phrases like 'under contract for 2 years','agreed he would return in november','we expect him to return' etc. Think that was simply a case of the club stating its position in the public domain as part of negotiation process in sorting a release fee out.
Other telling point in my view is if there was any serious prospect of Orford returning then it would have been given to Connor Murphy as an exclusive. The fact that we've let it go out via radio Leeds takes Connor, who's developed an excellent relationship with the club and fans, out of the firing line in regards to any accusations of misleading the fans.

And good on them if that's the case.
Connor is one of the best things to happen to the T&A and Bradford Bulls Media for a long time. Not only does he have the integrity to not want to report any rumours unless there's a basis to them, but he appears to have a genuine liking for the club and the sport, as well as being a thoroughly decent and nice bloke on top of it. The difference between him and his predecessor is monumental.

exactly what I thought and thats the major reason I dont place any credence in Orford returning. plus I cant see space for 3 or 4 more players under cap if Orford returns (I'd guess 2 max if he comes back).

| it does make you wonder if orford has been binding his time waiting to see who potter signed?.......... i guess he has thought we have made some gud signings and been linked with class players like pryce etc who he can probably play his best rugby with unlike some of the numptys he had to play with last season

Fact Connor hasnt even mentioned ducketts radio leeds interview in cummins article speaks volumes to me. Orford is not coming back and club is setting its stall out for release negotiations.

That is what I think too, I don't reckon we will be seeing Orford in Bradford any time soon.

Well, that's the party line and the club are sticking to it. I suppose time will tell.
