Ha yes, wasn't thinking about our opponents specifically, to be right.

We had 3 [or was it 4?] kits last year, including one specifically for the 'Bash'. The club clearly have Bradford down demographically as a high value, big spending, money no object area. You'd have thought a single look at who our major shirt sponsor is might have given them some pause for thought but, hey ho... :ASK:



Not like us - we've got a major telecoms company - O2 - on ours. :thumb: Although, to be more accurate, it is O2 Leigh - i.e. a local O2 shop!! :wink:

Prop wise last season we had Karl Davies who didn't even play a match and Samir Tahraoui who looked promising but was unproven at the highest level and clearly had some aspects of his game Jimmy didn't like. Walker has played at the highest level, is a Bradford lad and has looked a handful everytime I've seen him. Clark also looked very good on the occasions I saw him play, has links to the club and again both are British so no quota spot.


Clark takes a non fed trained quota spot though.

With Ulugia gone we have both a overseas and a non fed trained spot available so could be we're looking down under for a scrum half which gives us a lot more options

Yep. We had a to build a large squad very quickly last year and inevitably didn't use some of our overseas/non-fed spots in the best way. Lets hope we don't look to Mackay Cutters for a new half back (or any other player for that matter).

Did Siejka take up a non-fed spot as well?

"The Bulls remain on the look-out for further signings but half-back or hooker Pita Godinet – recently released by Wakefield – is not thought to be on Jimmy Lowes’ radar"

That one is squashed then!


It was only a few weeks ago they were saying that Kirk Welham wasn't on the radar - now we are told that Ferres and Lowes were chasing him for ages!

I wouldn't place too much stock on these 'rumours' in the T&A

yep. dont think he took a overseas spot but he did count as non fed trained.

think as it stands our quota spots are as follows

overseas - 5 spots

mullaney
purtell
neilsen
lauaki

non fed trained 7 spots

mullaney
purtell
neilsen
lauaki
uiasele

Cheers for that, I always lose track of who counts under which quota. It'll be interesting to see how the squad finishes up.

Can't see Etu getting much game time in the current squad. Suspect he's one they'd like to move on if possible.

I did say that he and Ulugia were the players most likely to be moved on. In fact, I think all players who went on loan last year have moved on to new clubs apart from Etu. Given the depth we've got in the wings and centres, I have to agree that I don't see him getting much game time unless there's a large injury crisis.

We had O2 Bradford on our shirts last season, though not as the major sponsor - though it's not on the new away shirt I bought the other day.

those were the days, when we had the, then world's biggest, computer manufacturer [Compaq] on our shirts. Haha, the ups and downs of life, eh!

We used to have a novel idea of getting 17 local companies to sponsor shirts 1-17, (before the days of squad numbers) then one of those numbers was drawn out of a hat (flat cap?) and they became the major shirt sponsor.

So far, so good, but the first year the chairman's company was drawn out as major shirt sponsor! Mm :SHIFTY:
