A bad move really imo, unless there is a deal about to happen that we do not know about, on a positive note it will make all the BJ critics on here happy no doubt.
Best of luck at Bradford Ben.

Quote: Bradford Badger "Any ideas on whether the Bulls have paid any sort of fee? I thought with the recent takeover you were "stable" and less in need of the cash, or, has planning started in the assumption you may not get a franchise so are happy to play the younger players more regularly to prepare for next year?'"


I'd be more tempted to say we have been told we are staying in SL and are planning accordingly.

Maybe it just suited both parties. We had no need to give him up because he's on a contract, and so I presume we were happy to let him go, he was happy to go, and Bradford were happy to have him. It could be for any number of reasons. Maybe he was just getting twitchy because he thinks we are going down and so was unsettled, and you can hardly blame him. Maybe he didn't fit into the team of young scrappers and misfits. Maybes and who knows. Not a great loss, but would have been an occasional asset if he'd stayed.

FWIW, I think Tommy Lee is doing a fantastic job this year.

I cant believe BJ has gone back to Bradford where he hardly had a good time of it before did he?! Anyway good luck to him and I hope we have a new recruit in the pipeline to replace him icon_biggrin.gif

As I stated earlier providing he is replaced then I don't have much of an issue with this news. But if we are planning on going with what we have then its a strange move. Be interesting to see what happens over the next couple of weeks.

On the Wildcats website Bradford approached wakefield and we were happy to let him go, is there more to this? or do we just let contracted players go because somebody wants them?

It looks crystal clear to me reading the Trin website, future uncertain he needs stability and has signed for the Bulls for 18 months, he would have been contracted to us until then. Looks a personal move for security to me.

I suppose this is another spin off for a club (potentially losing a license for all the wrong reasons) of not being able to plan long term

Or could it simply be that we are paying him for not playing much this season and another club made an enquiry, so we let him go so the money could be put to better use elsewhere. I love the way our supporters are immediately suspicious of a transfer and look straight for something that is most likely not there.

how ironic that the mrs and the lads went shopping yesterday in Trinity Walk and he was in Sainsburys, mel didn't know or she might of asked him at the time

good luck to him I don't think it worked out for him returning.

surprised that Bradford came back for him

As i said previously BJ is our best halve. But if he is replaced with someone equal or better than him fine. He's only played 5 games this season and with the emergence of Hyde and Wildie it won't hurt as much as we'd think. His experience however was vital with such a young group of lads.

Good luck BJ and thanks for everything
