It's on the Giants Twitter feed and website, also says he can be recalled! What's the point of that

Re: 2018 Bradford Bulls : Sun Oct 15, 2017 6:56 pm  

Mikey is fresh out of the U19s where he stood out head and shoulders above the rest of his peers.
But he has experience at a higher level - He spent some time at Oldham this season and fax/Newcastle prior to that. Strong running forward. Won't take a backwards step.

Agreed. Loan players being recalled crippled us this year. Can't see why we're going down that road again.

After several Administrations it's probably safe to say we don't learn from our mistakes.

Hope we don't come to rely on him. Loans not good.

Re: 2018 Bradford Bulls : Sun Oct 15, 2017 8:59 pm  

Don't see the point, if he goes well he'll likely get recalled so what's in it for us?

Let's hope there aren't an more misleading season long loans to come.

It would take an injury list of humungous proportions for giamts to recall him- worse than even the 13 we had out this year! Mikey is going out on loan for the experience- he's nowhere near first team as things stand, and it's an area we have plenty of players. Taai, symonds, ferguson, Lawrence, roberts, mellor, all in front of him, whilst Hinchcliffe could move to cover and we also have young Johnson who's just done a full year loan at Sheffield who's back at Giants and will be in before him.

Seems he's a decent acquisition so that would be the reason why. If he gets called back then he gets called back - the main thing is that it won't leave us up the creek without a paddle, as it did all too often last season when we seemed to have more loaned players than actual signed ones. I don't see a problem with one or two loans in an otherwise full squad to be honest.

I'd prefer us to be steering clear of loans, it rather makes me wonder if we're having trouble recruiting. For whatever reason.
