Keeping him till his contract up would be the best way anyway, we would get a quality player for 2 more seasons, which would be far more beneficial to us than any small transfer/average player trade likley to occur should a deal be struck with the dirty Aussies.

I think they have running water there in Oz now, and have even started having occasional washes...

I'm with you on this - if he has a clause to allow him to go at the end of next season, fine. If he wants to go earlier he needs to find someone who is willing to pay.

In respect of the transfer fee (or lack of if he goes to Oz now). I think we should get what he is worth to us - regardless of where he goes.

Disagree. Him leaving for the NRL would be viewed by most primarily as him seeking to have a shot at the best competition in the game. In the mould of Ellis and Mozza. Him leaving for another SL club would be seen by most as a reflection on Bradford. IMO.

I didn't get it..

done deal burgess v mason

hmmm couple of interesting bits in that, first have we dropped price to 200k or would that be 200k plus a player which would tie in with reported 500k pricetage hood put on sam.
second mentions that we havent offered semi a deal which would suggest walker rumour is true which is also mentioned.

Well there you have it.

If Kearney and Walker are confirmed then that still leaves us needing cover at halfback. So either we're signing nobody or they will be ENglish from the SL, it will be interesting to see who we get. Thorman looks the most likely unless we're paying a fee..

Jeffries back to Wakefield is interesting. Not that I think you will be getting Brough.

I think it's a shame we're not offering Semi a one year deal, if indeed that's true. Tend to think Walker's past his best and has a lousy reputation in terms of discipline and club loyalty, don't know what he's like off field, but might there be potential visa problems here?
