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

Looks like a good bit of business to me.

what at sainsburys

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

Sounds spot on. As talented as he is, his experience may have been lost, but the club have done the right thing.

We are!
We don't!

Interesting that you still see us as a small selling club and that Bradford have the whip hand in this deal.

Maybe Wakefield have used Bradford to offload a player that's been injured almost the whole season so that we can clear the way for our youngsters or a new exciting signing. We might of used Bradford to offload BJs wages so that we can bring in AN Other player.

I know what you mean, there is a thread on the Bulls site where they are discussing the possible signing of Stefan Ratchford from Salford. Quite a few of them are questioning whether a mere Salford player is good enough to push them forward. Can someone put them out of their misery and tell them that the glory days are gone and they are just "another club" these days.

Interesting comment from JK saying that BJ has moved for his own and his familys future.
Not wishing to be negative but does this mean the future is brighter with the Bulls or an acceptance that we wont be in SL next season.

That could just mean they are offering more money.

Or could it just be they came with a ridiculous too good to turn down offer and he said yes. Therefore securing his future with more money than his Wakey would have provided.

And a longer contract?
