Or Pryce/Robinson?

Well Pryce would help to bring on young Southernwood who I know people say he's not ready but just by watching him in the various U20 VC games this year he looks to be shaping into a player of real quality.

I would be overjoyed if we snapped up Sam Obst from Wakefield who has been without a doubt their player of the season, thus backed up by him winning the Supporters and Club player of the year awards.

He's got that magic step and has a very astute and defined kicking game.

I can understand him feeling homesick but it's only two years and the last of his playing career before he moves into coaching.

Why can't he see that he has the chance to go out in a blaze of glory a hero at Bradford? Or he'd go out on a whimper in NRL. For the last two years of his career being a big fish in a small pond could be a right laugh.

Hasn't Sam Obst won their player of their year something like 2 or 3 years on the trot?

I'd be happy with either Pryce/Obst or Pryce/Robinson tbh. cant see hudds letting robinson go though after just extending his deal a few months back. Think that rumour was just a bit of mischief making.

It's two yes and maybe this season where Wakefield have seen key playing personal move on (eg Brough to Huddersfield), last season he took the accolade with a whole host of stars at the club.

just watch how fast wakey fans are getting on here to slag him off if we do end up signing him. Nothing a wakey fan loves more than slagging off any player who has the cheek to leave their club ( and them welcoming them back with open arms like the prodigal son if they happen to return at a later date)

I can't see the money being available to pay off both Huddersfield and St Helens for their prized assets.

IF Orford does move on and we are successful at negotiating a transfer payment.

I expect the said transfer payment to be the stumbling block lifted between ourselves and St Helens in bringing back the prince of Manningham to Odsal.

Which will only bring positives in signing him, as he has experience of Odsal and big game experience to help us win and shut out games.

Not to mention him being a player that the lost supporters can relate to, in that the 10,000 pledges would sort themselves them out from Pryce arriving alone.

The only problem being that with only 22 days left till the pledge deadline, can this situation be sorted to our benefit?

if ox does leave then i would think that whatever money we get for him is used to buy another aussie star
i would love to see darren lockyer at odsal and he would definatley bring in crowds....highley unlikley but if we wave a bit of mooney at him............
trent barret out of retirement
or ben black from halifax

I think Obst is just average but has stood out in a very poor team, btw he is 31 next year.

Barett isn't the player he was. Lockyer will only come over here when he is similar age to Menzies.

Ben Black, Seriously?

If Orford goes then i would want some real class to replace him. I don't see the likes of Obst or Robinson as this.

its a problem from the supporters point of view, wanting the cheapest possible season ticket. Not sure its a problem from clubs point of view. say we fall short of 10k and get 8k. club then sets ticket price at whatever the figure was for 8k (75 ish I think). they then announce pryce signing after deadline and get an extra few thousand season ticket sales at £75 thus getting more income than they would have done if the 10k was reached.
