maybe both you and mick should read the thread properly. The 26k mick mentioned was what hudds offered wardle, who's a lot closer to 1st team than hellewell. still over the odds for a u20s player mind.

unfortunately for you the 12k compensation figure is accurate and is set by RFL so there's no getting out of paying that one

And I can assure you that Warrington do not such fanciful sums as £26k to their Academy players.

If we have done all this "raiding" of your academy can you point me in the directiuon of which players have made the move before Halliwell?

The 26k was for Wardle who is now at Huddersfield.

The fact of the matter is that your club Like Huddersfield will have to pay for raiding our academy.

Steve Moran's pocket strikes again.

Another mediocre Bulls reject?
WTF has Ryan Atkins done?

its sad to see halliwell go but its not all bad as think bulls have kept the best of the bunch in adam o'brien and john bateman as from all accounts plenty of clubs were after bateman think wire offered alot more money then bulls but he loves the club so signed for bradford he has the makings of a star.plus think wire have had a big clear out in academy and its not been handled very well.

know from what james donaldson told me thats one thing he likes about the bulls they look after there young lads

John bateman is good, but he has been told hes not just good hes brilliant, alot of un needed praise has been thrust at him, at his previous club his ego got the btter of him and racked afew other people off, he seems to have matured alot now tho and is passing ball around alot more rather than just trying to do it all himself, hes only young and alot can happen before he breaks thru..


I was hoping elliott minichello would make it with us, but unfortunately he left our scholarship and went to leeds, and that lad does like the bulls, hes one player i enjoy reffing.

During his time at Warrington? Nothing apart from:-

- Playing in every SL game last season
- Scoring 2 tries in a final
- Winning said final
- Getting picked for England (albeit he played a bit crap)

I'd hate to see his a lot crap.

The way folks go on about Atkins people would think he's an absolute superstar.
He's even more overrated than Michael Shenton.

Might get our first look at the lad he could make his debut tonight for us against Australian Institute of Sport, might not be playing fullback though as Burke is in the side.

Don't forget he went with that bird Chanelle off of Big Brother. Not much of an achievement but...

there are few men who've not been with that bird Chanelle off of Big Brother. Allegedly

Ben didn't end up playing against the AIS.
