This is vaguely interesting. If the Championship Shield table reset to zero at the start if would look like this:

Toulouse 12
Batley 11
Bradford 10
Dewsbury 8
Sheffield 6
Swinton 4
Oldham 3
Rochdale 2

So 3rd. What a pity about the rest of the season.

indeed, 3 more wins would have kept us up, 2 if we had removed the unfair bash weekend. I can think of 3 games we should have won! Oh well, onto more wins in league 1.....maybe.

Yeah great news about chissy. Now for sironon and Keyes. Keyes and Dane sounds like a great partnership - keyes for the organisation and Dane for the off the cuff stuff.

League Express suggesting we're signing Matt Garside from London

Decent signing. Desperate for back-rowers with Roche & Bentley departing. Been a regular with a good London side so with us being in1, should go well. Decent try scoring stats too. Certainly better than Cameron Smith.

I think he's spent most of this season injured. So fits right in with usual Bradford signing policy
Even on one leg, he'll be better than Cameron Smith though...

Garside is a good signing for you lot.
Had 2 good seasons with us but this year he hasn't played a lot due to injury and the form of Pitts and Harrison.
Not very big but pretty quick, can also play centre.

Not really seen him. But 17, 6ft 4, and if John Bastian & co think he;s worth a full time deal at 17, can't be too bad.

Toovey still undeided on whether to stay on at Odsal: www.totalrl.com/toovey-still-und ... rd-future/ TotalRL.com also claiming that Lee Gilmour, Lee Greenwood (Gloucestershire All Golds) and Glenn Morrison are all contenders to take over from Toovey should he walk away.

I agree. I think the club know what his intentions are. Perhaps he's waiting it out to see whether or not there is a restructure?!

Sounds to me as if he'll stay if there's a re-structure. Chalmers prepared to hang around to see if that's the case.

Or they both know that is the case and are waiting for the RFL restructure announcement?

Maybe. Won't be confirmed for at least a fortnight I reckon. I'm resigned to C1.
