If clubs are cutting cloth to suit smaller budgets then it stands to reason others will be paying more. Clubs losing their best players will always try and spin it to save face with their supporters. We've seen more than enough of that at the Bulls over the last 18 years.


Its just a case at the moment Bradford have more money to spend than every team barring Wakefield in this league. Its hard to blame them for trying to get the players in they want and its hard to blame agents for trying to screw every penny out of a club that they know is cash rich.

Wonder how the recruitment to sign maizen from Whitehaven went.can play all along the backline with pace just what we are lacking .His try up there against us was outstanding.


We're certainly short of a few backs. Think Okunbor is the only winger we have signed up. Is Taufua worth another year? He does heaps of work and is vital for getting us some go forward but he's had more than a few suspensions lately too. Despite that I'd still offer another year.

Not wishing any ill will upon Whitehaven, but it should be possible for us to sign Jake Maizen.

His last minute winner last week against Doncaster showcased the pace he has to offer. Would be a good addition for next year!

Rumour has it we're interested in signing Aiden McGowan for 2025.

Also rumours doing the rounds of SL clubs interested in some of our players notably Fulton. Mick reckons it depends on what he's offered. Aaron Bower reports that we're not letting anyone go that we want to keep.

Re: 2025 Recruitment : Wed Aug 28, 2024 4:26 pm  
I think we are going to struggle keeping hold of Fulton. Losing one of our better players to a SL team is always tough, but it’s a reality we have to face given our position. When you’re a lower league team, it’s almost inevitable that talented players will attract attention from bigger clubs.

While it’s disappointing, it’s also a testament to the quality we’ve developed here. I’d love to keep him but if he does leave I’ll wish him the best, and we’ll keep pushing forward, knowing that there are always new talents waiting for their chance to step up e.g. Bateman.

When you say rumours you mean Mick Gledhill?

Whilst still playing well I don't think Fulton is quite showing his early season form. Could this be because he knows he is leaving.
