Shh, that's just something called bias. [sizeor not knowing every little detail of every player. i get the irony though. [/size

What next? A bit of George Michael on vocals before the games?

and playing Union

Putting the fact that the guy is in prison to one side for a second, I thought that one of the goals of the franchise system was to discourage clubs from signing 32 year olds to one year deals?

And when they said 'Is that it?' he can say 'Well I was previously bound over for assault with racial undertones as well'.

Give the bloke a break FFS.

He's done his time (or will have come next season) and for all the holier than thou's on here, try walking a mile in someone else's shoes

Oh no! don't tell me the bu**er's pinched somebodies shoes aswell.

Apparently for some people sportsmen aren't entitled to the same rights as everyone else - i.e. to carry on with their lives after being punished by the law for an offence. No, thats not enough, they need to be stripped of their livelihood as well.

I'm pretty sure if I ended up inside, the charity I worked for wouldn't want me back sullying their reputation. And fair enough too. He's a has been jailbird and smacks of how desperate Bradford are.

We've been poor of late but we're not a charity case....yet dancing boy

Bulls chairman Peter Hood said: "Gareth is an international wing who will add significant extra fire-power to the Bulls outside backs division next season.
"The regime that Gareth's been living during his sentence has enabled him to maintain his core strength and fitness and his appetite for the game remains undiminished."

My comment was not meant to imply that a player should be deprived of an opportunity to gain employment

But I am pretty sure that removing the threat of relegation meant that clubs had the opportunity to build from the bottom up without the need to resort to short term fixes

Signing a 32 year old to 1 year contract smacks of a short term fix to me
