Unfortunately it was a simple matter of economics for Rhys -- although not extravagant in his personal life he found it totally impossible to rent a home in London and support a wife and two small children. There was never any money left to spare after paying for rent and "no frills" food for the four of them. He looked at lots of ways to supplement his Broncos salary but was getting deeper into debt and had no choice but to leave the capital. Rhys enjoyed his time with the Broncos he has nothing but the highest praise for Andrew Henderson, admiration and pride in his former team mates and fondness for the Team's fans.

Mmmm, maybe, but if you were in charge at Bradford would you snap him up at the beginning of his ban or would you save yourself some money and wait.

Sounds like common sense on the Bulls part and I wish London would take a similar attitude.

It makes sense for Bradford to sign him, who knows what was going on behind the scene. RL is a small world, but to leave like that does the player no credit.
I certainly would not want to keep him if he wanted away. No signs of it at Dewsbury pre season.
Seems strange to me that so late in the day Bradford had room for him within the salary cap.

He's now officially retired from playing due to to one knock too many to the head and will now be part of the Bulls coaching staff. Good luck to the fella.

Players can only do what the club allows them to do. If the club have a non business approach and it works well for the players then they will use this to ensure their futures. London has always had a high percentage of retiring journeymen so he is no different to what has gone before. Between the club player selection process and Martin Offiah it is a wonder we are still around

It has to be a wise decision to retire.
