I think that Rikki would improve with a more stable team in the middle. Some good rumours, interesting to see how many come to fruition

tbh think rikki would look better with a better quality Centre. sykes quite often leaves rikki trying to recover from sykes's own bad positioning imo.

What a load of rubbish.

Interesting stuff, to be honest, I can believe it, apart from the Fielden thing. We wouldn't need him. But I can see them cashing in on Burgess definately.

Reardon? Not sure I'd welcome him back. Didn't he fail a medical at Hull?
And doesn't he have a conviction for assault? Bradford born or not, not the type of player we need.

Why? We are building for the future and emphasising on home-grown talent. Why would we let go one of the best prospects of the last decade?

I hope not. But I'm not sure you can be quite as positive it won't. Unless you know something we don't.

OOC only means we dont have to pay transfer fees, quality backs are still going to demand big wages.

whilst everyone is distracted by Wing, Orford and Finch havent signed deals for next year yet

Well I hope we get one of them, but I don't think we need to get rid of Burgess in order to.
