I can only assume it is someone who has been here before or was born here and wants to represent the club before they retire? either that or they can make more money part time because of that riduculous rule about having no more than 20 players on over 20k (is that rule still in place in super league?)

The name I've had mentioned to me this morning is very interesting, would be one hell of a coup!

And he hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet.

Although I must stress my source isn't brilliant.

We have not offered massive money and the player says money is not the deceiding factor

We're all guessing at this stage but given what we know, maybe the player sees a future in coaching, realises that he will have to ply his trade in the lower leagues as a coach before possibly graduating to be a Super League coach, and wants to get some first hand experience of playing at this level.

We're all motivated to do things for different reasons. Thank goodness this guy seems motivated to want to play for the Dons!

Chunkster ... don't know whether you can reveal this, but will the player concerned be at the meeting?

I think Sean Long wants to get into coaching?

I personally think that we shouldn't know who this player is and that to find out would totally spoil the meeting.
It's looking to me, and I hope I am not wrong, that this player is quite special.
I want to go to the meeting and be gob-smacked.
That's what I want.
COYD

if fans knew his name then perhaps more would then attend the meeting ?????

You are correct. This thread is like poking your finger through the Christmas wrapping paper before the 25th of December. I just hope we don't end up with the RL equivalent of a pair of socks.

I hope personally that it is someone completely new to the club and not someone returning.

I can't see it being a pair of socks after all this hype.

No way will it be Gale, he will be a major part of Bradfords team rebuilding.

Not sure if the player will be at the meeting ,I know Tony has spoken to him and he is keen to join us and not just in a playing capacity

Glenn Morrison?

Thanks Chunkster.

I'm with S/O. I don't want the Christmas present unwrapping until Tuesday!

Just to reply to a few comments: Sean Long has just signed for Preston Grasshoppers rugby union team. Luke Gale is a major part of Bradford's plans. I think we can rule these two out.

We also need to face the possible fact that unless some money is found, this person might still not be coming. Let's all get down to the meeting on Tuesday and support the club in trying to give us what we want.

What a state of affairs it would be if next to no one turns up and a major opportunity is lost and gone forever!

If we want the Dons to be successful we really have to show our support to the club!!

Glenn Morrison has reportedly been injured in pre-season training with Wakefield and forced to retire.

The 35-year old suffered a seemingly innocuous training ground injury whilst coaching in the first week of pre-season and medical experts have confirmed worst fears that he has suffered a labral tear in his left shoulder as well as major damage to the joint capsule and bone damage that will require repairing by taking bone from his hip.

Morrison met with shoulder specialist, Professor Funk who explained that due to the extent of the injury and the major surgery that was required, he would have no option but to retire from playing, meaning he will now focus entirely on his role as Wildcats Assistant Coach.
