Any more news on you and Sibbit? He had a good game for us yesterday, but hes to inconsistent and over the years has had a few injuries, it could go either way, he has his good games but his bad ones as well.

Nothing but half hearted rumour!

Not if he stays in Aus after his surgery he won't.

Orford seeking a release to join Canbera

The Grundian

That's been the story for the last six weeks, I'm sure there's a deal underway and we'll get to hear after the pledge deadline. Just hope we manage to replace him with someone of the same quality, Dorn is a stand off and so is Pryce, just hope we have some irons in the fire on the scrum half front. I know lots of people think it's the same position essentially, but I'd disagree.

I disagree waiting till after pledge deadline if hes off i want to know now.

This is becoming a pantomime, and pretty typical of Hoods management style in recent years. We all know Orford won't be back, so time to tell us all me thinks.

I won't withdraw my pledge if Matt Orford doesn't return, I may if I've been misled by the board!

Orford wasn't announced as joining Bradford last year until mid-November & not ratified until mid-December. So plenty of time to work yourselves into a lather yet. Someone at the club told me Deacon is coming back for next season to replace Orford.

Just hope we get a decent replacement. Going into the the new season with only Southernwood and Addy is not an option.

Totally agree with the Pantomime thing, there doesn't seem to be a year go by without something going wrong. If he's not coming back announce it and let us know what's happening. We really want good news, quality signings, new sponsors and promises of things are getting better if the pledge is going to work. All we are hearing is rumours, mostly negative and that's not going to help with the pledges. The Club should be proactivly managing the media stories, not letting them get out of hand. The season is over, who's going and who's coming. The September deadline is over, what other excuses are going to be used. I suspect the truth is there are no quality signings now and we are stuck with some of the dross we've put up with for the last two seasons! And to put the icing on the cake our "Star" signing of last season wants out....
