I dont know if you can hear me in Bradford but i am going to SHOUT THIS AGAIN MASON TURNED BRADFORD DOWN

I'm just pleased that it appears from the outside that we are no longer prepared to pay over the odds for average players. If that means missing out on some players and some patience needed then so be it. We're still paying for some big mistakes and will continue to do so for a couple more years yet.

So why miss out Sidlows offload rate at 15% of all carries Vs next to nothing for Koppy, and Koppy's error rate at 4% of carries versus Sidlows 1%? A professional coach called Francis Cummins says that apart from the obvious stuff you have mentioned ie low missed tackle rate (but still better than Koppy) etc, he wanted Sidlow for his offload game. I would have thought the discussion would start from that point, rather than ignore it. But at least you agree with your brierley friend, Koppy is a better prop than Mason even if not as good as Sidlow especially for the reasons we signed him.

Mate talk all the crap you want KM was FC first choice Prop but he chose to go somewhere else, so FC thought KM was a better player than AS but what does Franny know

There was no first or second choice. Mason or his Agent thought he was worth more than the Bulls were prepared to offer and that is partly based on stats as well as the usual background chatter between all Clubs that goes on that we fans know nothing about in most cases! Cas seem to be in a more desperate situation re experienced Props so offered more, Sidlows Agent may have been holding out for more, but Salfords fiscal plight sadly for them helped our cause. This time last year neither Player would have been considered, but we will see who has made the right choices down the line!

So these dimwits from Huddersfield and like honestly believe that Mason was offered a straight choice between Bradford and Castleford, on exactly the same terms, but chose Cas over us?

Really?

Oh dear me.

I must say that I would LOVE to see a game of Eggheads played between Huddersfield and Wakefield supporters. It would make you average Aldi shopper look intelligent.

That's a bit mean eddie. I mean, what have those Aldi shoppers ever done to you to deserve such unflattering comparison?

Huddersfield must have changed some recently if Aldi have invested in stores there. More Jack Fulton I think!

I hear there's a special offer on Apoplexy pills at the Huddersfield PoundPharmacy.

Sold out already!

Aldi champagne is actually very nice - even saw an empty bottle in Ilkley

as is the Toro Loco Tempranillo which came 2nd in a worldwide blind taste test. They get six boxes per store per order so they usually go quickly (although I can normally rely on the preston rd branch in east hull when visiting the in laws)

That's hardly the point.



Unfortunately Adeybull still gets through passport control occasionally.
