Quote Paul Thexton="Paul Thexton"Possibly - but what would the RFL rules state about paying a transfer fee for a player 10 months in advance of him switching clubs? (Bradford need the money [inow[/i after all) Also, it would be a hugely risky thing for a business to do, in the intervening time he could suffer a career ending injury while still at Bradford....'"
Of course, but you run that risk with any player. We signed Myler and Ratchford whilst still playing for Salford, they could have got an injury training or whatever, but that's the risk you run.
I'm unsure what the RFL will say, but if it's anything like football, they shouldn't really have a problem with it. It should/would help Bradford immensely, which is an added bonus for them.
