I sometimes wonder on those posts on twitter whether it's bulls fans raving or FC fans asking Bradford to sign him up

Without being disrespectful I think in all honesty he is probably now playing at a level that he is suited to and whilst I admire him wanting to fight for his place, I just don't think he is good enough or tough enough for SL rugby.

Had we actually seen a glimpse of something in any of his performances that would suggest otherwise then maybe just maybe you could argue that as he's contracted he's worth another shout, but frankly he has shown nothing whatsoever. So with that in mind I just see no point in him playing first team rugby again for us, would we see the likes of ST's or Wigan doing similar? No is the answer.

You have to question how a recruitment process that can find and secure Ese Ese can also sign pele and okunbor

He's free to leave so hopefully he can find another club and free up another quota spot for us.

It's a signing that just didn't work out. I don't question the effort but he's not at the required standard.

Best for all concerned if he moved on.

It's like the misses throwing darts .. She might get a lucky shot , but you know where the rest are going .

He’s not in Bradford squad this week.

Probably dropped.

Recalled by parent club according to the Bulls squad announcement ...

do we have a reserves game this week?

yes

Feels a strange move, bringing him back to play reserves rather than for Bradford.

Although we are paying his wages, so may be a principle move by the club.

Will certainly be interesting if he isn't named in our reserves squad

sounds like they are going to give him a run on the wing
Bit strange if we want rid and need his quota position

Honestly think it's a move to force him out and take the pay off.

It does seem odd bringing him back to play reserves and take a spot which would have been filled with one of the clubs up and coming players. Unless we have some injury concerns and need him to avoid risking someone else? who knows ...

If the club is trying to force the issue, maybe they have three quota players already lined up. Don't see the point otherwise.

Maybe Cartwright wants to take a look at him in our first team before making a decision on next year like with Balmforth

Maybe Okunbor is holding the club to ransom. A very costly signing in more ways than one.

We don’t have to pay him off to get the quota spot, could just not register him. Obviously that would mean paying him for nothing though.

Anyone having problems posting on here today?

Scott, Sao, Ashworth all out injured for likely a couple of months each, which likely explains why Okunbor is back. He might be rubbish but we've just lost 3 players for a significant portion of the remaining season, we need bodies.

He's not in the reserves squad for tomorrow
