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

Not long to wait to find out now anyway!

Still not very confident on his return. I suppose all the club can do is reassure fans like myself that Orford is going to fulfill his contractual duties by releasing another press release like today's.

Interesting is the bit about Mick Potter going home for a holiday, wouldn't be suprised if there is a face to face to sort it!

According to [url=http://tvnz.co.nz/rugby-league-news/kearney-takes-tough-top-job-3821573this[/url Orford is on holiday in Bali.

Well we'll know by the start of November!

why does he need a holiday when he has not been doing anything since june.

If he's not due back till november, why can't he go on a holiday?

If it means he comes back happy and refreshed then even better.

He had is arm in a sling so he couldn't use it for alot of the time too, being at home not being able to dress yourself isn't really a holiday even if you live in oz!

If the Eels would be willing to stump up cash it'd be better sooner rather than later.

Maybe Potter will do a couple of days work whilst on holiday though, shopping for half-backs?

''I know Matty fairly well from my time in Melbourne, and I know he's keen to come back down to the NRL, and that's something we've got to work through,'' Kearney said. ''I'll be talking to him in the next couple of weeks. We were supposed to meet today but there was a stuff-up with the dates. He's in Bali at the moment.''

You would hope with the approval (although not nessesarily public) of the Bradford club. As that is another coach and club admitting in public making an approach to a contracted player.

Kearney tapping Orford up?
