I hope you sign him just so Mark Aston will spontaneously combust with anger

Seriously though, if he didn't meet requirements to join Sheffield just a few months ago I doubt he will be allowed to sign for Bradford now. If Sheffield have a contract with his name on it then they might even have '1st dibs' if his status changes.

Between now and Sheffield trying to sign hm he's been playing so maybe he's now got enough games to qualify for visa?. Rumour on social media we're announcing a signing this weekend or next week, which ties in with way Ross phrased article. Doubt it's this guy though.

Unless we have buttered the RFL up to go for a dispensation NSW cup games won't make the slightest difference.

It's too easy to be impressed with 3 minute youtube videos - didn't we see quite a few of those last year, starring blokes who couldn't impress Jimmy sufficiently at training to get a single spot on the bench?

Didn't we get a dispensation on Adam Henry though?

That deserves better.

Kyle Wood is a name that keeps getting mentioned.

Kyle's a decent half and would improve us, no doubt. I have to ask though, 'mentioned' by who?

I suppose as Huddersfield have signed Bierley that would make Wood a little superfluous.

we had a dispensation that removed him from quota, presumably due to his age when we signed him. Not sure if dispensation also affected his visa status.

Brierley has been playing at fullback so far.

With Jamie Ellis injured I imagine Wood will be back in the team once he is fit. Jake Connor played at 7 against Hull on Friday so they obviously aren't blessed with options in the halves at the minute.

Unfortunately, being able to impress Jimmy seems to have no bearing on the amount of talent a player has.

It's all very odd with Huddersfield's team selection. They played Brierley at fullback, who's a natural 7. They played Connor at 7, who's a natural centre. Then they played Aaron Murphy at centre, who's a perfectly good fullback.

Perhaps suggests they see Brierley as a long term fullback and are playing him there now so that when Ellis is back, they both play in those positions.
