Unless Sutcliffe or Carlos are injured he won't start there, probably on the bench at best.

3 forwards out plus potentially Cartwright will see him plsy in the pack again.

just seems a lot more settled in that position plus i would rather see Carlos given a run in the second row a position i think he could make an impact.
You are likely to be correct though and we will see him on the bench

Settled? Only played 1/2 times in that position for Bradford against part time players, think people are getting a bit carried away by him playing ok in the championship.

Indeed. I'd be doing everything to move him on. If he's digging his heels in, make life difficult. He must know he's not earning whatever he's been paid. Most players that take that sort of stance (and to be clear, I'm not saying he is) do it because they know they're not getting another gig as good as the one they've got.

Regardless of any quota rule changes, they should be used as wisely as possible and include as much quality as possible.

You can’t compare any of those to Ock. They’re proven regulars. There’s something else going on with Walker, but the others have been here years and can play.

Refusing to recall someone from Bradford on loan to play back row is not the same as dropping Sao.

The recall lasted long. He's in Bradford squad for this weekend.

Looking like he's gone for good. Best wishes to him. Best move for all concerned I think.

Said at the time, it was a move by hull to call him back was a move to push him towards the exit. Looks like it has worked.

Awful signing, along with Pele in our top 5 worst either signings.

Bradford doing a lot of business at the moment, wonder if they think they're in with a chance of SL in 2025

Was he recalled to cover the injuries but then failed to show enough in training?
Think that's him as good as gone with them doing for a season long terms.

I'd never taken notice of his age before but at 27 he clearly isn't good enough. How much money have we wasted on our 2024 recruitment. Absolutely shocking

Brown, Pele and Diakhate already gone. Okunbor appears to have played his last game for the club.

Tindall and Walker are out of favour and there may be question marks over Smith's future with the Cust signing. Ashworth has impressed but looks like he'll finihs the season with just nine appearances.

Out of nine new signings only Ese'ese can be considered a great one.

Wakefield have quietly been told they are in S/L next season
The only chance Bradford or Toulouse have is if they increase S/L to 14 teams

Cas and Leigh scored very poorly on the preliminary
. Imagine Derek's outburst if they're not in SL next year

Cant see IMG lasting much longer so dont think Cas or Leigh have much to worry about

Club chairmen have limited IMGs impact, they're deciding the kick off times which leads to the situation we're in now where on a spoetless Thursday, there's no games on, but then multiple fixtures at once later in the weekend, and a clash with the Euros...the chairmen also wanted to keep magic and the loop fixtures despite Img saying they should go, and theyre trying to shaft Catalan despite Img seeing France as a growth area.

If IMG do stay, I'd worry if I were a hudds fan, I can't really see how their score gets any higher , the fans aren't increasing, finances won't get any better as Ken Davey is already one of the richest chairmen and their catchment area won't improve.

Cas seem to be going all out with their ground improvements and their chairman thinks they'll score max points for it...says a lot about IMGs grading criteria if Wheldon road scores full points, but you can credit IMG with making cas and Wakey do the improvements they wouldn't have done otherwise.

If IMG go, chairmen will moan when revenue drops...and another jairbrain restructure won't be too far off

Hilarious if cas score more points for their ground than us because we're less than half full despite getting bigger crowds than them

If, for any reason, Leigh were to be demoted at the end of this season, Beaumont will go nuclear!!!!


He will blame anyone and everyone he can possibly think of! but I reckon he would reserve a certain amount of splenetic rage to direct towards us! He'll blame it all on Hull Fc such would be his state of mind by that point.

Reckon we would hear the clap of thunder all the way across the Pennines to the fair city!!!

what is hilarious is that IMG see street food and burger vans at one end of a ground as innovative and ground breaking
So we can we now expect several S/L clubs to bulldoze a stand at one end of their ground to become innovative and gain IMG approval

Joint tenancy also reduces IMG stadium points doesn't it? If you have to have some of fixtures moved due to another tennant you lose points...cas don't have that problem, we do

You sure about that? Wigan are tenants, Saints have just recently moved in Liverpool Women. Pretty sure Leigh have other stuff going on at their gaff as well

primacy of tenancy I think

If you have to move fixtures for whatever reason e.g Hull city tell us to move a fixture, then you score 0 points, if you can prove you've primacy of tenancy, so you can have joint tenants but they won't cause you to move fixtures, then you score 0.25
