Why should you need to take the cheap option- hardakers wage will cover a new fullback.

But to get anyone on his level, or even close to it. It will demand a transfer fee.

We’ve just done something we never do as a club by paying £150k for Zak. And it’s lasted 12 months.

sticking with mamo and not bidding for hardaker proved a wise move!

Colton Roche confirmed.
Another Bradford player....
I'm not seeing stones recruitment to be any different to andersons.

Good young forward with plenty potential for development

And the last batch of ex bulls turned out pretty damn good

Anderson was derided for recruiting three ex Bradford players. In fact he was derided for his recruitment full stop. Yet the last player he recruited was the only one to get in the dream team and was our player of the year.
Rick stone has also now recruited three ex Bradford players.

I clicked on this thread knowing exactly who would have posted and what they would have said...

"Another Bradford player"
"What's up with our own youngsters"
"No different to Anderson"
"Stone doesn't have a clue"

Let's look to the future, eh?

If supporting a team made me as miserable, I'd consider taking up something else.

we knew about this one for a while now

roche will be a project, abit like ollie roberts was... he turned out well and so did the other bulls players we recruited

lots of experience in the championship and at 24 a good age to now kick on with the giants... he has his first crack at sl so will want to take it! looks like a second rower in the ferguson mould

Happy with our recruitment before this signing. He only makes our squad stronger, and anyone who will put in the effort in our colours is welcome in my book.
As for Stone, even I have my doubts but signing Turner and Rankin alone has added great quality to our team so his recruitment isn't as bad as some people suggest in my opinion.

ellis to castleford then

glad he isnt coming back to the club as i couldnt see him getting in the team

not a loan deal this time so maybe give stone abit more room to get someone in if he sees fit

Signed for Fev.

Bit strange really as he was obviously very good for Leigh in the championship so surprised they've allowed him to strengthen one of their rivals.

obv ridyard and the leigh coach dont see eye to eye

will go well for fev

no room here at the giants though, we went for rankin instead

Hope that proves to be right decision ,time will tell ,feeling that Rankin is a better full back than half back but we have only see him play at full back,only going from his time at Hull

think it was the right decision, one coming to the end of his career the other still a good age and can improve further, can see he has the talent as a player, you dont play half back at his age in the nrl if you dont have anything! a good pre season and can stamp himself on the team
