Thirded. Why?

Because once he's match fit he's better than what we've currently got.

& if he's sent down on April 23rd, then what ?

Then I look like an idiot. If he isn't sent down we should take a punt.

Shouldnt go anywhere near IMO.

We don't need yet another fullback/winger. We need to save precious cash in case a decent halfback becomes available.

Not really played alot of rugby either over this season and last. Too risky.

I don't understand why anyone thinks we should be interested in Reardon, unless some see it as essential that the squad has a player who assaults women in it, and he's the currently available option.

its not silly read the court transcript
"After shouting insults at his wife, Reardon grabbed her arm, causing three bruises. "

can you imagine a 999 call from Some rough Council Estate in Bradford(you must have em)
"the police please. Ive just heard a man call his ex wife a dirty slut and he's grabbed her by the arm it looks like it might leave a couple of bruises"

not a chance would it get a response in a million years

however "please help Leon Pryce and Stuart Reardon are here threatening to beat me up..."

then thats different....

I would imagine Its Tony Smith putting down a marker that anyone "Drinking" is not going to be tollerated.....rather than getting rid of a "wife beater"....

so he's probably unfortunate in that respect.... Briers is probably the next man sweating....

So kicking in the house door had nothing to do with it.

Indeed.

They are probably the two most famous men in Britain, that would have set every alarm bell going that there is.

Just put aside his off field record and look at his on field stats. Since in joined Warry in 2006 here are his stats. (From the Warrington site)


2006 Warrington Apps 22 Tries 4

2007 Warrington Apps 19 Tries 6

2008 Warrington Apps 7 Tries 2


What can he really bring to Bradford ?

We have enough on our hands as it is this year, why would we really want to add to this with Reardon ?

Also if he was as good as Pryce was as a player, would Warry still ditch him ?

With the form of our current fullback, I'd hesistate to say that tries scored isn't the only stat we should be looking at with Stuart Reardon, or any other FB.

That's true. Its only the Fullback who is responsible for disintegrating defences and missed tackles. We need a fullback that can cover for the defensive lapses and collapses of the rest of the team single-handed.

Indeed, although the tries were not my main point, it was all I could find on him to kinda back up what I was trying to say.

With his form and match time, is a player that will help Bradford claw their way back into the competition or is it more likely that we'd be carrying him ?


We need to take action, but jumping for the sale bin isn't going to help IMO
