I agree. The article in the League Express hardly gives cause for optimism though we know Sadler's not exactly a fan of ours.

Despite that I wish we could get some more positive news out there. Given the numbers leaving and the lack of incoming players the lack of news on new recruits or anything else of any note is depressing me.

Quite, I know its not the easiest game in the world assembling a SL squad, but some positive moves to address our obvious shortcomings this season would be welcome now we've finished.

The worrying aspect for me is that in the past dozen years the club have always had something lined up to announce for when the season ended, however it ended. The silence this time around is defening, and its looking like we have nothing to annouce because we've not got any of the targets we've gone for, as the club must have made its moves by now (?). Unless all our new players are still active in the playoffs.... doubtful. Or we're unsure of the visa issues for any imports and dont want to get burned again like we did with Bird?

Im not in full worry and panic mode yet, but I am mildly concerned moving towards anxiously apprehensive about our recruitment for 2010 so far.

Looking forward to some positive news soon Mr Duffy and Co if you're reading

It's not going to be encouraging people to buy a season ticket either in these hard times.

Good thread this.

If you believe that you will believe anything.

Ive just voted.

Is there any way to reset the poll, I really want to change my vote.

Personally, I don't think McNamara has a lot to play with. With the players he has got he's never going to work miracles.

It appears to me that the full cap is nowhere near being spent, so he has to try to find the best he can for the money.

What that gets you is a team full of (american) indians , and not many chiefs.

But still, Danny Sculthorpe ?!?!

As no-one else would have wanted him, he'd come cheap, and is capable of some good play, so may turn out better than expected.

Can't see many people being persuaded to buy a season ticket on the back of it though

I've said to many today, I ordered mine last week, but if this news had of come first, I would certainly be thinking twice about it.


We were rumoured to be in for Bailey, I'd much rather have Bailey than Scumthorpe.

Personally I don't think McBanana is that bad a coach. Last season, bulls managed to beat the top 2, and also managed a good run towards the end of the season.

I just don't think the squad is good enough to suceed over a season

Have a word with yourself will you..

I'm not jumping for joy about this news either, but the last thing the club needs is people not renewing their season tickets. There is still plenty too look forward to next year, Silverware will perhaps not be one of them though.

I just said i've already renewed. I said it would make me think twice, I doubt i'd not actually renew, but it does make you think where we are going as a club. I'm looking forward to see more young Bradford products next season, and more of our good performers like Nero, Halley, Lynch, Scruton & Beaver. What i'm not eagerly awaiting is to see Sculthorpe in action.

Poor you.
