I hope he has lots of success in his coaching and if he does would love to see him back at the bulls in the future.

Absolutely fantastic bloke. Lesser guys could have called it quits after such a horrific injury, or even just been a bit softer. But Deacs was there charging with his bionic head as if nothing had happened.

I wish him nothing but the best and heartfelt thanks for being Mr Consistent throughout the years. I'll miss people calling you baby-face even though, due to your bravery, you have a face like a chewed walnut.

Thanks Paul.

All the best Deacs, I hope you go onto bigger and better things in your coaching role.

Thanks for everything you put into helping make Bradford a successful team.

Through the highs and the lows, you were always there and you'll always be remembered as a great asset to the Bradford club.

P.S. my daughter is devastated

Just had to tell Little Miss Cookie that Paul is going. I now have an absolutely distraught 7 year old who idolises him (she has been going to the Bulls since she was 2-months old!) who is crying her heart out!

He is a part of the Bulls folklore and deserves to be mentioned with the likes of Lowes, the Pauls & the Penguin + others.

All the best for the future, and here's hoping we can give him a proper send off.

Done. 25/01/17.:



He already had my total respect long before that horrific injury playing for Great Britain, but that just confirmed what a dedicated and professional rugby league player he is.

Good luck Paul, you will always be held in the highest esteem.

Would love to see him back at the club in some sort of coaching capacity in the future.

A true servant and deserves a send off from the club and fans in some fashion.

when two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly halfway between them. It is possible for one side to be simply wrong.:1589.jpg



It's a shame we won't get chance to say goodbye to him properly. He's been an important player for Bradford and anyone who scoffs at that should consider his large collection of winners medals.

I hope he goes well at Wigan - except when they play us!!

I bet he'll miss being a Bradford player - apart from the commute. He'll get to stop in bed longer in the mornings!

As previously mentioned it has the feel of the end of an era. He was one of the last integral squad members of the team that won things year in and out. It was the right time to go but he'll always be spoken of in the highest terms. Record points scorer with a huge haul of medals and honours with more heart than a pack of forwards. Thanks Paul.

Thanks Paul for years of dedication and bravery. I hope you have a great time at Wigan, and come back one day as part of the coaching team.

All the best.

You have been an outstanding player and loyal servant to the Bulls. It has truly been a pleasure to watch you play Paul. Odsal will not be the same without you. I wish you every success in your new venture.

PS - do you think you will be able to get the raised corners in your car to transport over the the JJB?
