If they’re looking at players like Austin and Hurrell, they probably won’t win a game in 2013!

If they do they will have invented time travel.

On ability Trueman is a better and younger half than our two encumbant’s. If he became available we should be very interested, but think Cas would sell him anywhere before us!

No way is Trueman better than Sezer.

We won’t be terminating contracts over here. Would cost the club more in contract law, than in just paying the salary. Plus they’d be loosing a player…….

Are they letting Jai Arrow go?

Iwan Stephens : Tue Jan 04, 2022 7:41 pm  

Just seen Iwan Stephens named in England u-20s squad in union. It did seem odd when we released him. He always looked the outstanding player in academy highlights. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rug ... 630904.amp

Kear has some interesting things to say here - https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... d-22633147 I’m going to recommend to the board here at Bradford that we don’t sign anybody or offer contract extensions to any player who isn’t prepared to have the vaccinations. I just think it’s putting other people in the group at unnecessary risk of losing one of your commodities, which is your players, when you’re paying them to supposedly play. Having listened to Jurgen Klopp, I have thought about this a great deal because I do feel we’re responsible employers at Bradford Bulls. But we’ve also got a responsibility to look after the people who are toeing the line and are being fully vaccinated – we need to look after them and their families. Obviously if it spreads between work colleagues, the work colleague goes back home and there is a possibility of the virus then spreading within families. Therefore we’ve got a responsibility as employers, but I think society has got a responsibility as well. It is very important for clubs to have as many players as possible who have had the full quota of jabs so that we aren’t missing vital time in pre-season or have players unavailable for games.
