Signing the guy who is considered the best player in England outside of Super League?

Amazing how the attitude of folks like you has changed now that you've won the hubcap. Not long ago, people like you were defending your club signing the likes of Jordan James, Danny Hill, Tim Jonkers, Nathan McAvoy & Oliver Wilkes.

Better than having a Chav and a Shed!

One of the main differences between Championship and SL is SL players train full time, Shad has a rugby brain second to none, his positional play, backing up, defence are all oustanding, you will see a better Shad than we have and hes been our most consistent performer for years. He will do a good job for you and deserves some respect from people that think only aging ex NRL players can do a job for you. Enjoy your Shad he will serve you well and give Potter a chance before shooting everything down in flames.

Well the majority of Bradford fans have welcomed his signing. It's myopic fans of other teams who are bagging him

I hope he does rubbish so we can have him back on loan

We will not have a player more motivated than Royston.
6 years of working towards his big-time chance and only one season to prove himself good enough for SL.
Good on the lad for creating his chance, really hope he can take it.

Useful signing.

Outstanding in the NL, unlikely to command a big salary, better than biscuit bones Halley and a pretty handy fella to have around. It's probably about that simple.

I'm looking forward to watching Shad this afternoon.

So am I. Saw 'our' Bryn get a couple on Saturday, Shad today, our cup is running over. Only sour note was the Rhinos losing yesterday.............

you have got an absolute bargain,most definately a super league player and should be your starting full back.good luck shad you will be missed.

Kearney will probably be our fullback for next season more likely shad be in the halves.

I was quite impressed with him today give 110%. Smart player with a smart brain. Looking forward to him playing in the RAB ! for us next season

What?! clared, I think your post would most probably be better opposite way round. We'll be more likely to have Shad at 1 and Kearney at 6 than vice-versa. Where has Royston played in the halves???

His positional play in the final last night reminded me of Mick Withers. Perhaps we are getting Ghost Mk II !!

shad royston could be the bargain of the season!

His support play is outstanding, and his angled runs from scrums and breaks will cause alot of teams problems next season.
