That's sort of what I said but if true, then why isn't the deal done already? Surely Bradford would not have allowed Whitehead to talk to Catalans if they weren't confident that the swap deal(s) they were offering stacked up for them?

What Butcher says will happen a lot until we start to make progress and players realise it is worth coming.

It seems a very strange time for the young player,and his experienced agent,to consider career moves after everything he went through at Bradford and one year on after the death of his father when there will be the emotional
upheaval for his close family to consider as well as relocating to another country.
I hope the young man takes his time and gets the decision correct.

Official on BBC he has signed for Catalans.

Shame, but don't overdo the wrist action during your tiresome ongoing celebrations

Oh please Jim my curry friend please explain where there is any form of celebration in my statement.

Shocking. I can't believe this. If I was a Salford fan I'd be gutted.

He's not that good, you've dodged a major bullet IMO.

Elliot made the correct decision.

Of course he has.
Assuming it was the same money,after tax,the opportunity to experience the South of France and play in a well established big rough pack,then it had to be the choice most of us would have made.
Must have been a wrench to leave the Bradford area,though.
Good as he's supposed to be,he was hardly a marquee signing.

agreed, maybe signing for Salford in 1 or 2 years time would have been an obvious choice. Like others have said, he has potential, rather than making a BIG difference to any side.

Kook fails again. Just wait for the dummy spit on this latest debacle

And why is that sunshine? Terms with Bradford agreed £100k+ - so how many clubs can do that mid season? The Bulls Directors will be very, very disappointed tonight.

Do you know what the Bulls directors got from Catalan

As a matter of fact yes.
