Shocking Maurice Lindsay-esque signing given the money involved. If Bradford continue to decline at their current rate they will seriously struggle to have their license renewed in 2015.

| Quote: Bullseye "Fact is the club lack any young halfbacks ready for the step up so they had to buy overseas. You can't always buy British, as you know the game as a whole over here has a problem in producing enough quality players and the Bulls needed a halfback now. The Bulls have made huge efforts to get their junior side back on track and are making headway but it takes years to reap the rewards. As it is James Donaldson and Elliott Whitehead made their debuts last year and look good. There'll be more next season.'"
They have been in SL for 13 years, it is very poor future proofing to say that they don't have someone to step up. This is another area we are massively behind. Take a look at the Melbourne Storm and how many star players they have lost over the last 4 years. Did they go out and buy from another club or England? No they had players ready to step up when needed. I can guarantee they are already grooming some 16 year old fullback ready for when Slater leaves. It is an abject failure on Bradford's part that they HAD to go out and sign a 32 year old from the NRL. |

| Quote: JB Down Under "I'm not sure that he will. He will be 32 soon after SL kick off, 35 going on 36 when his very welathy SL contract runs out, he is coming off the back of a poor year and to me he looked like he was worn out and due for retirement. The fact he may b a cut above is very telling on the quality level of SL.'"
And then gets pick to play SOO? |

Maths skills aren't up to scratch in the sunniest city in the world, are they? He's 31 now, will be 32 early in the 2010 season, meaning he'll be turning 34 at the equivalent time in his final year of his contract, and just over 34.5 when he finishes up. Hardly "going on 36" |

Silly me, didn't realise he'll ONLY be 34.5! A mere spring chicken of a lad, good for at least another few years after that then surely! |

How many other SL clubs have one or a pair of quality halfbacks coming through? Not many. So singling out Bradford for this is hardly a strong arguement and at worse looks like a veiled attack on the club |

Orford's better than Deacon, so I don't see what the problem is? At least Bradford are being ambitious.

So 2 of your players are on the best part of £300k a year each and you dont even operate at full cap? What do you play the rest of your players with? Buttons?
I cant believe for one minute that any player in SL is on the best part of £300k a season and I bet you could count on one hand the amount that earn £150k a year. |
