Oscar Thomas : Thu Aug 27, 2015 4:47 pm  

Any good?

We just signed him for 2 years. Never heard of him personally.

Do you not follow the Championship then??

He's skillful and a very good runner but if you're looking for an organizer or someone to control the game then he's not your man.

Potentially a very good player, fast and good with the ball in hand. But naive and at the moment a poor defender. Misses a lot of tackles and doesn't stick in a defensive line.

Sad to see him go, but I posted a few weeks ago that I saw Offiah driving away from the hive, Oscar had a poor game and hasn't been in squad since, so you don't need to be a rocket scientist......

Bizarre!
Excellent player on his day, like at Blackpool this year. Has potential, good pace but weak defensively.
As Brian has said, Offiah all over this - may or may not work out.

To be honest mate no, well not this year. Bulls only


Thanks for your answers.

You would think players would be wary of Offiah.

Most of the heads he's turned ended up in the wilderness.

Re: Oscar Thomas : Fri Aug 28, 2015 7:44 am  

I think that they have signed him on his Blackpool form alone. It was obvious he was going to leave. I heard that he was off to Union.
Hendo ran out of patience with him at Dewsbury away, when he was absolutely awful.
He is a nice lad who is fast, nimble and has a good kick on him, however he is liability in defence. But good luck to him.
As for Martin Offiah, I would not let him anywhere near our players, especially the young ones.

Re: Oscar Thomas : Fri Aug 28, 2015 10:48 am  

A potentially excellent Full Back - quick, great feet, decent kicking game - but not consistent or defensively strong enough for a half back.

As to Offiah, a decent club would have banned him from the training ground years ago, he's ruined that many young players by moving them to inappropriate clubs at inappropriate times in their careers. But he's a famous face, gets on with the chairman, always backs his decisions and looks good in the sponsors lounge, so...guess the rest.

Re: Oscar Thomas : Fri Aug 28, 2015 12:30 pm  

Good luck to him. Needs to spend more time learning his trade. How many ex Broncos can Bradford aquire!

Re: Oscar Thomas : Fri Oct 30, 2015 1:48 pm  

Must be a bit worrying for Oscar. In The Gazette today is published a winding up order against Bradford from HMRC.
The club state that is an error. There participation next season is in jeopardy if this goes through.No doubt the RFL will come to their aid again !
