Said on the Virtual Terrace there is a new scrum half who has played both in Australia and UK. However i now know from a winger at Bulls that he is also talking to Bulls, but don't see it as it would involve a transfer fee.

Sorry i can't say more but it's positive. The scrum half who was in line to replace Long may be coming to you guys.

I'm guessing it's his off-field antics, but on the field he is one of the best SH's in the league, wouldn't count on quota and his kicking game is brilliant.

exactly and its not like its been one offs - he's been in trouble off field at every club he's been at. Suspect we'll end up with thorman as he doesnt seem to have settled at hull and is off contract at end of season so no transfer fee, plus he's a bit surplus to requirements now they've got long.

question is do we retain jeffries to play alongside him or use the quota spot to bring in a genuine stand-off. ( and thats assuming that we only see deacon as injury cover next year, which considering his performance so far this year we'd be crazy to consider him as a starting option).

Oh no, another minority barbarian with his strange accent and sayings like 'By Thor's Hammer'.

Its the Decline And Fall Of The Bradford Bulls starring Brian Noble as Marcus Aurelius (the philosopher emperor) and MacBanana as his protege Commodus getting seduced by power. Young Sammy Burgess and Robyn Morrison members of the imperial family repulsing Commodus's advances in his pursuit of 'Greek' culture, Solomona starring as Atilla the Hun despoiling Bradford by starving the other players in the canteen and blocking the toilet for 1000K denarii, and capturing all the booty Michael Platt the incompetent frontier general letting hordes of barbarians through the defences. Chris Thorman the barbarian conscripted into the army leading to a decline in defensive military standards and big losses of territory.
