Deserved more than it got IMO.

Thanks for that. It's always a pleasure to share views with Bradford (and Halifax

) fans, who all (well mostly!

) come across as well informed about our Game.

On the issue of our 'Owner', he is exceedingly passionate about his club, and RL in general. So, unlike the Salford owner, who is a comparative newcomer to RL, he does come from a strong background of Rugby League, and the Leigh club. However, that hasn't stopped him from doing/saying things that are cringeworthy to Leythers, as well as to fans of other clubs!

I like you Alan

The feeling is mutual Roger!

Hotel Room, anybody?

I think ten minutes behind a skip might be more appropriate.

Erm... back to squad requirements.

I see that Brett Ferres has been suspended by Giants. I hear we could be on the lookout for [uanother[/u 2nd rower, worth a punt? Hear the lad is OK.



Seriously though, is Lowes planning to try and be the first team to field a 1-13 consisting of only second rows???

I don't see Ferres returning to us in the championship. The guy's in the England side and playing in a top 8 team.

Mock you not, after all second row is the base template for all rugby players; show a bit of pace and you can double up in the threequarters, good hands and you're a shoo-in for emergency loose or hooker, when you grow bit older and gain a little more timber you move up to prop. Jimmy has clearly seen the light.....

Latest article says Jarrod Sammut isn't on the Bulls radar, why do I get the feeling that there's nobody on our radar.

Seems that way, certainly for a scrum half!

2 decent scrum half's pretty much available in Godinet and Sammut yet we come out with "not on our radar" unless they have a little gem lined up that no one has heard about yet... its become more and more frustrating!

Last year we jumped in two footed and rushed the signing of a 7, and look how that worked out. We ended up with a scrum half that hardly anyone other than Lowes rated, spent considerable time injured, and then left a year later moaning about how fans didn't understand how amazing he really was, despite no evidence to suggest it was true.

Rather than doing the same thing and rushing the signing of a 7, perhaps they've decided this time to go with what we've got for now, then wait for the right player to come along further down the line. Later in the season when someone isn't getting game time at his club and becomes unhappy, we end up with a better 7 for waiting than a Sammut or Godinet who have been considered not good enough for even Wakefield.
