Not from the NRL but apparently Huddersfield Giants prop Darrell Griffin has signed for 2012.

Why? Seems pretty good. Also chose to come to the Bulls whilst rejecting the offer of signing for 2 top 8 NRL sides.

36 games in 4 years good?
He's a fringe player in a not very good side, the Bulls have enough of their own already without adding another one.

He'll probably be replacing one of them. Is he a better centre than Chev Walker, for example? I think he might just be.

Because Bradford are a well established club entering their 4th season in a 'franchised' division next year!

Chev Walker is English.

That obviously doesn't matter. It's clear that Bradford have and continue to have a very poor quality of imports and go for the short-term option over the long-term option (Jefferies over Briggs).

See Houghton vs Berrigan last year for a prediction of Houghton vs Heremeia. They're to be used in tandem like Cunningham/Roby or Lunt/Robinson.
With regards to Seymour, we'll have to wait and see a) if we sign him and b) who else we resign.

He was very highly rated by the Knights fans. I think he will be a very good signing. And for all those slating he's an import, haven't you al got imports in your side?

It's not the fact he's an import, it's the fact he's another nobody coming from the NRL and taking a spot from English players. FWIW, I don't think he's a particularly bad signing and think he may turn out to be a good player. Signings like Jefferies and Royston are far worse IMO as they're both proven to be no more than average players yet Bradford have loaned out a promising youngster (Briggs) to make way for someone who isn't that good.

Well no one had heard of Willie Manu, but he's one of your best players. No one had heard of Shontayne Hape and he didn't turn out bad. He might be a flop or he might be a superb signing.
I agree with you moaning maybe about Jefferies keeping a quota spot, but Royston has been superb. It would be interesting to go through all the SL clubs and see homegorwn players that have featured this year and also non-british players in their squads. I bet most clubs have 7-8 non-british players in their squad because of the loop holes. I would say Bradford would have lower imports and more homegrown players than most.
