If we let Burgess go then it totally ridicules the building for the future and a bradford born team ideas.

Now mate this Is one of those proper rumours so here goes: my cuz has the same hairdresser as big Sam( I know you couldn't make it up) but he said that Sam has been offered a deal in oz and wants to go! Bradford have been offered money and players(which is almost unheard of) but the bulls won't let him go and Sam is most pi$$ed off about it!!

Rightly so, he signed a contract and should honour it. Either way, a rumour is a rumour so we should probably take it as a pinch of salt for now.

TBH, if he is piddled off that he can't go we would, depending on the quality of players being offered, be better taking the deal IMO. An unhappy player is not what is wanted at the club.

Of course, assuming this is all true!

And if it was, I thought that McNamara was the reason he wanted to stay in the first place?????

I agree, but still.. he shouldn't be piddled when he was the one who signed the contract.

Either way, if we get some decent players in and a huge transfer fee then that's great.

As much as i hate to say it, i hope Morrison gives up playing for his own sake, but we keep him on as a coach.

Jamie Peacock didn't do to bad for us in his final year and half at Bulls.

No he didn't.

I, and at least one other poster on here, were told a bit ago from the highest level the gate the club needed to break even on a matchday. We were also told the incremental financial "contribution" per head through the turnstiles. The economics may well have changed since then, of course. But I recognise the figure being quoted.

The figure was 10k IIRC.

He'll almost certainly end up at Manly and I wouldn't be surprised to see him follow Beaver over for a few years at the end of next season. I'd like to then see him return a much better player for the Bulls but that is unlikely if we're still achieving similar results to this season.

How good are his younger brothers? Do they have genuine potential as SL players? He'd no doubt relish the opportunity to play alongside them but hopefully not as keen to play with older brother Luke!

I certainly wouldn't stand in his way if he fancied a stint in the NRL, if I got offered employment over there I'd probably go too.
