He told us he was coming back when in truth he was negotiating with other clubs in order that we kept paying him.
That's called lying.'"
Exactly.
Can we assume Orford will need to still report back for pre season training whilst these talks are on hold? If we're paying him I'd expect him to turn up, even if its just to carry the water for the players who do want to be here. If he doesn't want to turn up to work and doesn't want to be in breach of his contract he can ask for some unpaid gardening leave (or whatever you want to call it) to stay on the beach.
Although I suspect in reality the club won't enforce this as they must just want shut and hope the neogotiations go as quick as they can, holidays to bali and the USA excepted....  |

Indeed what has made Orford look a self-serving arsse is the way he appears to have treated the Bulls and the fans, many of whom felt able to take his own pronouncements of allegiance and intention to return at face value. The time to quit if he wanted to leave would be when he suffered his major injury. Then we could have been in the market early doors for a 7. Only you don't get paid a few months for nowt that way. Is he still taking the money now?

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg |

There's just been a teaser on SSN saying a "Big name has told the Bradford Bulls he wants to leave"
So I'm guessing we're close to the end of this protracted idiocy

| Finally the Bulls break silence on the Orford saga
Quote: I will be speaking to Matt's manager next week when he returns to Australia from the United States. In the meantime we have granted Matt dispensation to remain where he is, which means he will not be reporting for pre-season training on Monday 1st November as was originally planned into his injury rehabilitation schedule. In the event that we do agree to Matt's release we shall certainly be retaining his registration until such time as appropriate compensation can be agreed. Meanwhile, we remain focused on building a highly competitive squad for next season and beyond. "ORFORD SEEKS RELEASE
Bradford Bulls today confirmed that the Club has been requested to release Matt Orford from the remaining two years of his contract.
Commenting, Bulls chairman Peter Hood said
From the Bulls website

By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013
Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

| With 2 years left and half a season off we should be seeking a fair bit of compensation, just because the wont give it a decent go over here.  |

So rumours about Burrow and Bosc are wide of the mark, but no mention of Pryce.

As I said before, I hope he has an extremely...interesting...life, and has some extremely interesting experiences which he will enjoy to the full over a very protracted period.
I wuill leave it to others to decide what combination of dishonourable, dishonest and thief he might be.

C'mon people, the guy obviously wants to still play at a decent level, and the British Rail cup is not really up there, now is it?
