Do you have a link, I can't find it on the HDM website...thanks.

Anyone know if Eagle is still shutdown?

I read the tone of the piece a little differently to you, although I did say he was mainly complaining about where the cash went. He might actually have a point, albeit a naive one. The cash belonged to the SL and the clubs were never going to be altruistic with the disbursement.

No link, just read it in the paper itself. They don't always put stories on the website.

Talking about how the loan move reignited his career, amongst other things, he says "Hull were outstanding. What a club they are. The fans were amazing, the players and coaches. They really kick-started my career and I owe them a hell of a lot. I'll be showing a lot of respect when I got there. I'll be giving 110% to the Bradford cause but there won't be any celebrations if I score any tries or kick any goals. I really appreciate what they've done for me and my career. I'll be showing a bit of class".

Completely agree. Really hope we don't go back to Heremaia at halfback after one game, would just smack of a panicky response and not address what the real problem was last week. I'll actually feel quite sorry for Seymour if he's dropped and then the pack pull their fingers out.

He has 3 players there and only one can play the full 80. Heremai, on form, is the pick of the three, so he starts at 7 then switches to 9 when Houghton needs a rest and Seymour comes on.

Possible way Gentle is thinking

Then, as you say, he's a top bloke and true profeessional.

There are a few FC players, past and present, that could learn from him!

My problem with this way of thinking is that is saying that hookers and halves are the same when they're not. Yes, some can do a job in the other position, but rarely are they as good, and IMO this applies to Heremaia. If Heremaia deserves to play, play him at hooker.

Gentle actually said about this when he took over, that he wouldn't move players around instead of giving kids a go and that he would play players in their proper positions, if he goes against this to get rid of Seymour and to try and accommodate both Houghton and Heremaia into the same 13 I personally will be very disappointed.

Especially as IMO the larger problem lies with the forwards.

What a top guy! Its so refreshing to hear things like that, both from an appreciative and impressed (and eloquent) player and for what it says about club and fans? Reckon we are lucky to gave secured his services, and we can just hope he comes to feel the same way about his time at Bradford. He's certainly impressed a lot of us so far.

And I would suggest it will be the final death knell in Seymour's coffin as well as me beginning to slightly doubt our head coaches stratagem.

He cops a lot of stick for various reasons but I know a lot of the younger supporters at Hull became big fans of his. He came over to the South Stand and handed over a pair of boots to a young lad following his last home league game for Hull. He got his confidence back at Hull and as you say it's refreshing to hear a player saying such things. Good luck to him (after tonight).

That's the first thing I thought - basically if Seymour doesnt play 7 tonight, that's it! As much as I think Seymour is rhubarb, I don't agree with PG's strategy. What does 1 game tell him last week that he/we didn't know? Surely he won't be on the bench, he either gives him another run with DH or bins him off (which is what they should have done last year).

Going back to his quote last year regarding playing folk out of position - I think Nicklas should have been given a go now he can play alongside a real organiser like Holdsworth. Bit less pressure for him. He was good enough this time last year according to PG.

I'm hoping tonights game answers the question, were we really that bad last week, or was it just leeds being excellent?

I wont be happy if Seymour gets dropped even to the bench. He needs to play with Holdsworth as theyre our half backs now. End of
