No worries there. Different game plan at Bradford.

Of course, our owner would probably suggest that you lot started the fracas at LSV last February!

Signed for Leeds and loaned back for the season would be covered by that Tweet

To be honest that wouldn't be a bad deal. He'll be gone at end of season for peanuts if we don't get promoted.

I don't get the Haggerty signing unless - as someone else suggested - Ferguson(or another one) is on his way.

Given fergusons injury record, 30 games played over last two seasons so round about 50% availabilty, and assuming hes one of higher wage earners then that one wouldn't bother me as much as OB and would make some sense of haggerty signing.
Assuming worst case and OB is going but being loaned back for next year then provided it sorts out any financial issues guess its just what we're gonna have to get used to.

Ferguson to Wakefield on the agenda too.

I've been told tonight 2 other SL clubs in for Ferguson but Bulls have put a rather large fee on his head, be lucky to get a third of it given his injury record

Ferguson one of our best players. Given te format of the league, I'd rather a top quality player just play the last 8 games than a bang average player who can play every game.

Ferguson would be a loss.

Calling Roger Daly

You obviously have some good sources within the club. Are you able to confirm - or deny - that the fact that we suddenly seem to be putting a fee on the head of various players is related (in any way) to the recent 'discussions' with HMRC?

Serious question

Re: 2016 Squad Requirements : Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:13 pm  

Isn't Haggerty just filling a Matt Ryan shaped hole? Nobody has to leave.
I know it won't happen, but some SL clubs need to feck off and develop their own talent. Some ignorant pr!cks on the Leeds board actually have the gall to claim that Robbie Ward - the young hooker Leeds were only too happy to release - is better than AoB.
Honestly, they don't deserve him if that's their attitude.

Re: 2016 Squad Requirements : Mon Nov 16, 2015 8:13 pm  

Ferguson would be a loss and is easily our most effective second row with ball in hand. I'd be disappointed to see him leave but I expect he'll be a high earner. Perhaps might make room on the cap to add in other areas. I'd be surprised if Wakefield had cash to sign him under contract unless he has done sort of SL club release clause in his deal.

I've been told tonight that we've tabled an offer for Zak Hardaker.
