| Its never nice or constructive to hold onto to "hate" and I dare say since leaving SL my hate for Leeds has dwindeled,
The webbed toed hill dwellers from Halifax have brought on a fair deal or hate from me towards them, with their revelling in our dire situation.
The chissy situation that we are facing with Sheffield and listening to their fans calling for Campbell's legs to be broken and general abuse at Odsal would say I have a strong dislike for them..
However a few deep breaths and listening to some whale music in the background in my office and I will be fine..
Maybe I will try some Buddhist meditation techniques too..

is the squad announced today?
I notice Sheffield have issued a statement saying Chissy will not play another game for them, nice to see they are still making sure he doesn't play for us..
always had a bit of a soft spot for them after their Wembley win against Wigan, now they have moved into the hate box with Halifax and Leeds...Sorry Roger'"
Obviously my like for Sheffield has increased lately. I can't see why people should blame Sheffield though. You can't just try take someone else's player though can you. Hes obviously still their player even though he's never gonna play for them after what he's done. He obviously was never a free agent otherwise the RFL would of had this sorted. If the Bulls had a disciplinary issue with a player and they were not gonna pick him again what would we say if Dewsbury came and said we want that player and if you don't let us have him we will not be happy and hope our fans turn against you
You Bulls fans are a strange bunch ha

| I would have been more than happy if other clubs would have come in and taken Gaskell and co last year...
You know as well as I do Roger he got sacked so was a free agent...because it was you that told me before it came out!
Whether he did that on purpose or not is between him and Sheffield for breaching his contract.
If a Super league club had signed him and not someone in the relegation fight I'm sure the story would be different.

| If the Bulls get relegated I think they should send Sheffield a bill for spoiling their chances of staying up, it's only fair I think

Ah, so it's not actually Sheffield commenting, just the reporter mentioning it in context to a new signing. Ta.

Ah so it is yes. I just assumed the TotalRL bit had been added by their reporter, but you're right it's in the article on Sheffield's website.

| Even though I have no knowledge of these two forwards I know how good a player Dennis Betts was. He has picked both of them on a few occasions to play in his SL team which tells me they have achieved a minimum standard. That probably means they are reasonable players especially in our lower league. Add the fact that they will be wanting to do their best and get back into the Widnes team and you never know.
Well, that's me being my usual optimistic self - always look on the bright side or find the nearest tree and a length of rope.

It all depends on how much cash Sheffield has. If he's staying there, they have to pay his wages. They have to be careful to follow their written disciplinary procedure to the letter, or he'll walk. Most clubs dislike paying someone who is never going to play for them again. But I'm sure Sheffield dislike the idea of him going to Bulls as well. Depends which they feel is the priority. Saving money by releasing him or spending wages on someone who wants to go elsewhere

Either way its another joke of a situation we find ourselves in..

| It is a sorry situation but what did we do wrong?
We tried to sign a player who was apparently sacked which I believe Roger can probably confirm.
To avoid this problem we could not have gone near him.
How would some people on here have reacted if they had heard he had been sacked a month ago and we had not even thought about signing him. Look how many have complained we didn't sign Bailey.
It looks like Sheffield want rid of him (and he wants to come back to us) - but not until they have played us again and we have lost a few more games. You can always do things better but I am struggling to condemn the Bulls here. It seems a case of they are condemned if they did and condemned if we didn't sign him. We were all confused when Sheff signed him when we were all wanting him back. What if he had gone to Swinton or Dewsbury and our chairman said we decided not to go for him.
We are in a lose, lose situation till we actually get him out there with Leon, Keys or even Lilley. then it hopefully turns into a win more times situation and all is forgiven. I expect it to be sorted just after the final whistle on Sunday or very soon after.

| I was surprised when I saw Sam Brooks was moving to Widnes to be honest. He struggled to get in the team at Fax and when he did you never really noticed him. Maybe a move gave him a kick up the backside a bit hence his move to Widnes although I cant see him been much better than what you have already got.

| Ted Chapelhow is probably a couple seasons away from being a good SL Prop.
Sam Brooks.. Jury is still out on him, has filled in 'ok' when we were decimated by injuries but never really made an impact at SL level with his best game coming in the win at Leigh where he scored his first try for us. SL squad player at best but still relatively young for a prop.
Hope they both do well for you.

| They should be OK, not what you call raw, but and some experience at Championship level.
