| Quote SmokeyTA="SmokeyTA"You think every member of the Bradford squad grew up dreaming of playing for the Bulls? You think Manoukafoa grew up dreaming of pulling on the red, amber, and black? That Keith Lulia sat in Wollongong dreaming of East Bowling? No of course they didnt. Few players play for the only club they want to play for. They play for whoever offers them the best deal at the time.
No where does it say that Whitehead wont give it his all, no where does it say that he wont give 100% or that he doesnt want to be available for Bradford, no where does it say he hasnt been trying in training or on the pitch. No where does it say he has done or said anything unprofessional or in breach of his contract, simply that he wants to leave.
Whitehead has stuck to his contract, his contract allows him to ask for a transfer.'"
No I don't. But when they sign a contract for x number of years I expect them to stick to it. If Manoukafoa or Lulia want to leave Bradford they can do so at the end of their contracts, the same as Whitehead, who's reasons for leaving are pathetic. He was happy to sign a 5 year deal just last year, when Bradford were 7th in the table as they are now. No-one forced him to sign a long term deal. He could have signed a 1 or 2 year deal. He should see out the length of his contract. |

It's a bit of a dual standard to demand Whitehead honour all of his contract but then criticise him for exercising a clause within that contract. Bradford signed a contract with provision for whitehead to hand in a transfer request, that contract has two sides. If it is incumbent formWhitehead to honour his side of the deal it is incumbent on Bradford to honour theirs.
I have yet to seenWhitehead in the news bad mouthing Bradford for not honouring his contract in good faith(including the clause which allows him to request a transfer) I have seen franny cummins being pretty disparaging though

You can't knock some one for having ambition but I just think back to Sean O'Loughlin sticking with Wigan when they where far from being considered a top 4 side and then going onto lift the super league and challenge cup trophies a few seasons later. Things can change very quickly in rugby league especially when a club is managed correctly, and on the surface Bradford appear to be developing well on and off the field under new management.

I'm curious as to what FC's said that's disparaging about EW? Is it in here [urlhttp://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportbulls/10466160.Whitehead_drops_Bradford_Bulls_transfer_bombshell/[/url or here [urlhttp://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/latest_news/article/8364/whitehead-hands-in-transfer-request[/url? |

If Whitehead wants away, fair enough.
But he goes under conditions that are suitable for Bradford, not as when it suits him. If he had issues with playing for a "lesser" club, last year when his new contract was on the table was the time to air them.
In the tradition of footballers everywhere, having issued a "come get me" plea, expect him to kiss the badge next time he scores.

Given his stated objective, unless he has a crystal ball, that was a wasted discussion.
