Would hate seeing him in another team.

same here but we said this about greenhill too

If were in for Whitehead ,then someone's off but we still have plenty in the backrow to cover . Craig Kopczak would have been a better target if Moa & O'Meley are off.

While we're basically robbing Bradford I want Tom Burgess too.

They've had enough off us over the years.

As other have said, Whitehaed is a very good player, but I am quiet happy with our backrow of Manu, Westerman, Tickle, Aspinwall and Whiting (who has been excellent so far in that position), plus young kids like Kent, Green and Crookes etc. So seems a slightly strange signing. If we are targeting a o for player I would go for a prop (Burgess, Kopchaz) or a centre (Sarginson).

Like the fact that we are targeting young British players though, can't say that I would be unhappy with this signing if true.

Excellent player who I've said for some time I'd love to see at Hull. Plus he bit a chunk out of a rovers player last season which is a big positive. Does seem odd that we'd swoop mid season for a back rower though

Anyone know if its for 2013 or straight away ? If true of course

Can't see why we would be going for a back rower for this season unless Gentle plans to use Tickle (or Whiting!) at prop to cover our lack of depth in that area.

Would imagine its for next season.

We need a prop. We should get Taylor from Rovers. They can't afford to turn money down

Also the Whitehead signing could be for this season we could do with more bodies on board and we've got 60 grand left. Also been told Mcrea wants to spend the money on a British player

Nothing on the bradford forum

He's a big unit but the only way i can see this happening is if Moa or Shrek leave and we push Tickle up to prop.

Info I got was Whitehead coming now and Johnson from Wakey at the end of the season.

Would be very pleased with both signings.
