Yes, but that says he has an extension until 2015. His original contact was 3 years starting 2012, so it looks like next season will still be in the first post-Crusaders contract he signed.

You might not have to worry about Smith joining Salford as a few rows from me at the match tonight was Jarrod Sammut in hospitality, he could be the player we were talking to? Makes sense really as Bradford look to be in abit of financial trouble again and Noble coached him at the Celtic Crusaders.

If Tim Smith goes, he goes...nothing we can do about it. What id be screaming about is if we got a cash sum for him, saved on what is probably a 75k+ wage, and didnt reinvest it in another quality half back....as a pose to pocketing the majority of the cash and either buying someone cheap or giving someone like lee smith the 7 shirt.

How we manage the loss of our top players is important to me.

How about a World Cup winning halfback, although better known as a hooker and a little long in the tooth.

Nathan Fien?

Yes, that's the 2nd part of the 'story' I was told

Even Moley reporting this now, unless you told him?
Could be they changed tack after our demands, or feel Bfd are more in need of the money and can be more easily leveraged?

Ye you could be right. Plus Sammut played under noble at crusaders.

Or maybe we told Salford that he wasn't for sale.

That can't be right, everyone knows we need the cash....

Tim Smith is going nowhere! Some fans should really think before slamming AG, JE etc. How many bids under the new regime have we accepted for players? How many players under the new regime have we sold?

For god sake, have a little faith in those in charge and don't press the self destruction button ever time one of our players is linked with a move away.

How does everybody know ? Most of the talk of us needing cash has come from these boards. I've no doubt that thing are difficult financially and cash flow is difficult but we will prevail.

We've just resigned Danny Kirmond, Paul Sykes and are looking to extend the deals with Lee Smith and Ali. Chris Tuscon has signed for next year but if we believe what we read on this board in particular we are doomed.

Stop believing the negative publicity some of which is started by people who only wish harm to this Club and get behind the Club.

This.

I think that was what he was alluding to ....

If he was then I'm sorry but there is so much doom and gloom on here I'm finding it difficult to separate negativity from positivity and sarcasm.
