Eliot Whitehead has stunned Bradford by handing in a transfer request because he "doesn't feel the club has progressed as it should" and "wants to test himself in a top 4 team".

Guess that means he isn't going to Salford then.

A good signing for any team.

He's half decent with ball in hand and has very good technique when it comes to catching attacking kicks and scoring or creating tries from it, but he is an absolute liability in defence! If I'm not mistaken, he scores top in Super League on the missed tackle and error stats.

Good luck to the lad, but I can't see a top 4 team being willing to pay the £100k+ that Bradford want for him.

Elliot, Salford are not 'Top 4'

HTH

We won't miss his defence that's for sure. He's not progressed for a few years now. Hope we get a decent price for him.

Thats what the Doctor has told him though so it must be true.

He's daft as a brush so he'd believe anything!

What a tart. Cummins does right to keep him away from the club now.

Is he the Wayne Rooney of Rugby League?

Agreed

He won't be the first player to lie.

Just like how Joel Moon cured his homesickness for Australia by moving to Leeds. Anyone who's been to Leeds could spot the differences with Queensland.

"He is now on leave until the situation is resolved. I can't have players in my squad who don't want to be here."

Well done that man.

I haven't heard or seen much about John Bateman this year, has he been injured?

isn't whitehead OOC this year, if so, you'd be better getting whatever pennies you can and ship him out before he disrupts things.

I hope Bradford Come out and smash it! Get to the top four and be a force in the playoffs without this guy and laugh while he wipes the egg off his face.
