Another low life lazy option for Shudds.

Unsurprising to hear that glad he is having an impact. Very much a deep thinker of the game, wouldnt be surprised to see him get a head coaching job somewhere in a few years time

Haven't Bradford got a good U19's? Should we be looking there at their best talent?

I agree with you but on behalf of my 80 year old mum I had to make a stand. The other one I was referring to is the guy who wanted to set me on fire which I thought was a bit harsh even in my case.

Yes I'd say that is slightly over the top.
You clearly command a lot of passion in people Vasty.
You must be a hell of a ladies man.

Pimp007 quoted one of your posts Vasty, so it's very difficult to disagree with what he said.
You changed your stance in a later post.
For the record, I've not know Finn play the most of his career at 9, like Wood.
But if Wood can do 9, I'm sure Finn can, as he looks to have a little more timber on him than Wood.

No I didn't change my stance at all just clarified it there is a difference. It's not always possible to get your point exactly right first time even when you're as erudite as me

The issue was with a now deleted post rather than that of mr pimp.

The point for me is that Finn has played hooker at various times throughout his career. He's clearly a half back first but it's not new to him.

Correct, wished I'd posted that in the first place.

Could have saved about 3 pages of nothing!

Some involved at Bradford still don't get it!

I read an article the other day where the head of youth was decrying that they had a really good group of youngsters who were about to break through and he wanted to see it through! These would be some of the youngsters they have outbid others for, that they didn't have the money for!

At the same time, people keep asking how many players are left - the answer is None! You don't have a club, no one is employed. If a new club starts, the players will all, individually, have to decide to sign or not, and unless there's a bottomless pit of funds from the new owner, they will mostly be on less money!

I really do have sympathy with the fans, but goodness me, some dose of reality wouldn't hurt one bit!

Bradford Bull has always been more fantasy than reality. Bradford didn't embrace SL they corrupted it - anyone could have done what they did if they had gambled it all and been lucky.

It is a mirror image of SL itself - a broken dream. People on the VT, people like Harry Edgar then Martyn Sadler have always pushed SL from the superficial angle. So on the surface it looks a flashy vibrant game or certainly did when it first started. Sadly the foundations were rotten and still are and when Bradford's money ran out so did they and the same fate awaits SL.

I'd love to know if you took away the SKY money and it's associated events (including Catalan) does the RFL in real terms generate any more cash and have any more clubs and players than it did in 1994? If it doesn't then that is your failure right there - despite millions pumped into the game nothing has changed - personally I fear it's got worse and the game has simply been ransacked by those lining there own pockets.

Every bit of Bradford's success was based on borrowed money and gambling on their on field success. When the success stopped the credit crunch hit and Bradford ran out of cash and options it collapsed. Sadly as you say far to many people at Bradford are still in that bubble and won't cut their cloth and won't take responsibility.

I don't resent any clubs success, even Bradford's still had to be gained on the pitch that can't be taken away from some great players and teams, but the means by which they did it were cheating end of. Also before the normal suspects appear, we at Wakefield are not innocent - there can be no doubt that in our desperation to survive we to borrowed and deceived but we have sure paid the price and as far as I recall nobody has ever given us any excuses we've always been villified why shouldn't they.
