Cos he's leaving the NRL and going to SL and England and SL are crap and blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Do TRY and come up with a new song Barry.

I'm only telling you what I've heard.

Maybe Marc Herbert will love it in Bradford and turn out to be your top player.

Apparently Herbert isn't even on Canberra's books anymore, so how would that work?

It wouldn't. But Barry is like Richard Littlejohn. He spouts off a load of crap and never worries about little things like facts or the true getting in his way

LMAO

You couldnt make it up. On one hand the dulls fans crying about a man breaking contract, but on the other, want Leon Pryce to do the same.

No we don't. We want to come to an arrangement with Pryce's club to allow him to talk to us.

If you can't see the difference, then...well, I pity you.

Indeed, I don't think we're talking to Leon behind St Helen's backs and encouraging him to just walk away from his existing commitments.

Rather like you then.

Exactly. Unlike certain NRL clubs who quite openly have been in discussions with Orford or about him to his knowledge.

does anyone else think that orford sudden urge to have holiday in america and hence be unavailible for negotiations is basically an attempt to reduce the compensatio figure. We're placed in situation where we cant announce a new halfback signing because a/ it weakens our negotiating position and b/ we probably need some off orfords cap space in order for RFL to accept the new players registration (and I assume until he's registered insurance wouldnt cover him training with us). So by dragging process out and disrupting our pre-season Orford hopes we'll accept a lower compensation figure? doesnt affect him yet as NRL pre-season doesnt start for a while yet. He's basically left it until last possible minute to formally request his release and hence ensured he got the maximum possible wages out off us in the meantime. He hasnt come out off this with a shred of dignity or honour in my eyes.

Hope he gets piles.

I hope he gets DVT on his way home from holiday.

strange that cos until about 10 days ago opinion was pretty evenly split on leeds board as to who was you best hooker in buderus and diskin. Now suddenly because diskin had the temerity to ask for a release hes a reject ( hard to be a reject when youve just agreed a new deal but thats by the by).

Always amazes how fast fans turn on a former player once he leaves. Leeds fans better hope burrow does leave as a significant portion are already stating he's no good already. Going to be hilarious watching them backtrack if the rumours turn out to unfounded. He'll be back to being greatest thing since sliced bread overnight
