Disappointing with him going to the Bulls. Although only at the club for a short time, on the pitch he seemed one of the most committed players I've seen at the club in the last decade, so you can't begrudge him going back to what he knows.

Will free up money on the cap and we can spend that if and when we like, or more accurately if Hendo and David Hughes see someone of value. I think we will keep our powder dry and wait for someone who will commit properly, else bring in loanees who will do a job for a patch while the likes of Cunningham are out.

Rhys got a two year deal in the end at Bradford. Does leave a bad taste though

Quite agree. The way he did this was a poor show.

Suddenly decided he couldn't afford to live in London the day his concussion ban ended

Re: Rhys Lovegrove : Sun Mar 06, 2016 9:10 pm  

Think concussion ban is a bit of a harsh term

Whatever you want to call it, Rhys Lovegrove, decent player and all, took the Broncos for a ride.

Re: Rhys Lovegrove : Sun Mar 06, 2016 10:51 pm  

Mmmm, maybe, but if you were in charge at Bradford would you snap him up at the beginning of his ban or would you save yourself some money and wait.

Sounds like common sense on the Bulls part and I wish London would take a similar attitude.

It makes sense for Bradford to sign him, who knows what was going on behind the scene. RL is a small world, but to leave like that does the player no credit.
I certainly would not want to keep him if he wanted away. No signs of it at Dewsbury pre season.
Seems strange to me that so late in the day Bradford had room for him within the salary cap.

He's now officially retired from playing due to to one knock too many to the head and will now be part of the Bulls coaching staff. Good luck to the fella.

Players can only do what the club allows them to do. If the club have a non business approach and it works well for the players then they will use this to ensure their futures. London has always had a high percentage of retiring journeymen so he is no different to what has gone before. Between the club player selection process and Martin Offiah it is a wonder we are still around
