Not the foreseeable future. And it is quite clear there was a confidentiality agreement as part of the Harris settlement with Leeds - the wording of the press release made that extremely clear to anyone who knows the code.

As Hood said on what must have been a totally unrelated subject at the forum, the club has been hit very badly by the unexpected annual cost of the, er, "recession" and this annual cost is expected to continue to be every bit as bad for a little while yet. But he was confident it would suddenly end as quickly as it started. I just wish a load more people knew and understood about this unexpected annual cost of the "recession", and the impact it has been having on our club's ability to compete. I think as time goes on though more people are starting to realise.

And about what caused the "recession".

How do you know how he's been treated? It's not as though he already had an option for an extra year, but we won't give him it. He was only coming for 1 year anyway in the first place, we've been lucky to have him for two already, but if Mr Potter thinks that it could be a year too far then I'll trust his judgement over mine.

Knowing how Steve is, he'll take it on the chin. As much as we've enjoyed watching him, he is 37, and if we can get a young quality player in his place then I can accept it. I'd love to have him for another year, but there is no room for sentiment in sport.

He's on his way down to LONDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no doubt if hall and menzies were in the same situation then it would be hall going. however menzies is out of contract whilst hall still has 2 years to run on his deal. it costs us nothing to release menzies whereas it would cost us 2 years salary to release hall, and he'll be on 80-90k pa I'd imagine, so releasing hall isnt really an option unless he went by mutual consent.

Ewwenorfolk........Do u realise that u average 8 posts per day over the last 4 years!!!!! WOW!!!!

No problem.......Loving the dedication!

I'll be sad to him leave, so I hope we give him a massive send off at the DW stadium on the last day of the season.

Menzies going! - bugger.

For those who can spin this one - good luck. Beaver may be older than most, and being such a prolific try scorer in the NRL does not guarantee a contract now, but a possible repetition of Morrison-gate with Menzies would leave a sour taste.
On top of that - Salford gazzumping us because 'they are going places' is absolutely ridiculous (the only place they are going is likely the Championship in 18 months time, reckon that some of the players going there want little weight of expectation).
I will always support the Bulls home and away regardless of who is signed / not signed, and am looking forward to seeing us kick the Saints tomorrow, and yet this one must have us all baffled. Arguments for a quota spot and salary saving are fine, but the club's silence on any signings (leaked rumours at least) do not settle the nerves.

A 10 point win for us tomorrow night with Scrutes, Kearney and Crookes in. COYB!

Isn't this also part of Potter having a direct say in recruitment? If he's been given a clear remit to rebuild the Bulls, then letting a player go who maybe has one more year in them might be a very good move if it allows more balance in your squad, and if it signals an intent to move away from signing older Aussies/Kiwis. I support anything that suggests the Bulls are going to come back as a real force.

Also agree re all of Salford's signings. There's no guarantee they'll be any better next year than this. Its not as if they've signed a bunch of current Aussie internationals.

Nothing against Menzies BTW - he's a fine player. He'll undoubtedly get a one-year deal elsewhere.

Adey serious question here, Will these "recession figures" have to be audited by the club?

If so will they show up on the yearly balance sheet when published, or can they be covered up so that the true figures involved are ever revealed?
