Surely the Bradford Bulls cant be guilty of making an illegal approach to a contracted player before the may deadline??

Big risk by Bradford making a "lucrative offer" to a contracted player before the May deadline.

Hopefully the clause will be found to be unenforcable, Bradford get in trouble for an illegal approach and we can tell Brierley to sod off to Hudds/Leeds for a few bob.

Brierley has repeatedly said one thing to the club and the fans and then shown a very different face to the press and to other interested parties. Rapidly losing patience with him.

Based on the statement, IMO they have done the right thing.

Based on the facts they have put forward they had little choice, seems like a sad end, the Bradford scenario seems a little bizarre, but if that's where he ends up (which I doubt) then good luck to him - this is not going to end pretty IMO

Or perhaps Ryan got fed up when his pal Rowley left and got his agent to ask Bradford if they were still looking for a scrum half?

Your version is equally as tasty though.

They can only approach the player after the deadline. Before then they must get permission off the players club

Whoever is right and wrong in this saga, DB public image is hitting a low point. Hasnt come across as a great employer recently.

Very good statement from the club. No option but to suspend Ryan Brierley.

He only got suspended today and already he's crap. Contradicts the numerous posts on the Bulls forum from your fans telling us how he's better than Gaskell.

Funny really. Remember how current England international Chris Hill managed his exit from the club?
All respected his decisions and he went to wire with the best wishes of the club and the fans.
Amazing the difference between a good agent and a schyster...
