New Signings : Mon Jul 13, 2009 8:39 am  

All we seem to be hearing about is players leaving us to go to other clubs and other clubs signing big names.

Terry's going. Solomona's going. Semi's probably going. Not looking promising for Morro, BJ, Cook or James. We've resigned Lynch and Sykes and now it looks like Beaver too and we have Glenn Hall coming in. So what?

A new prop and 3 players that we have already (one of whom needs stringing up for incredibly suspect defensive) aren't going to make a difference to a team that is struggling to string 2 wins together.

Add to this new signings from other clubs, particularly Hull with the likes of O'Mealey and Fitzgibbon.

Okay, we're not looking for signings of more second rowers but it would be nice to get word of a signing from Australia. Someone to boost the morale of the fans, much like the resigning of Lynch did at the fan's forum.

I not going to make suggestions of who to get but as with everyone else i think we should be looking at a quality half, a decent hooker, a centre and a new loose forward to replace Mr Langley.

The fans aren't happy with the performances on the field. We should at least be given something to look forward to next year.

I heard some very interesting news on where he might end up the other day. Very surprising if true.

Ah, must be part of our ongoing player exchange programme with Wakey then?

Newton, maybe BJ and Solo and now Morro to Wakey then . You'd think they'd learn not to pick up players from lower half of the league teams..mediocraty that way leads.

The club, for some years, hasn`t generally announced incoming players until after the end of the season so there`s no real reason to think it`s going to change now. Maybe it`s because of the anti tampering rules or maybe because they don`t want to unsettle the current squad (though some might suggest that wouldn`t be a bad thing!!), hard to say.

This is true, and looking on the bright side at least we wont have as long to wait this year for the news, they can tell us after the end of our season on 11th of September....around 9.45pm ish.

Is there any connection between the despicable behaviour of a number of high profile Aussies & the fact Bradford might be recruiting for next year? Bird must think it's worth a few months in chokey.
