Sounds like a name plucked out of thin air to me.

Yeah.

It was on the bulls board that he was unhappy at not getting a new deal yet and on the Saints board that they're interested in him.

I'd like to think if those things are true we'd be challenging as well. He is a monster of a lad and could be very good and if we had him alongside other young props like Prescott, Mossop and Dudson we'd look well set for a good few years if they all fulfilled their potential.

It is just a name to throw around at the moment though with no substance.

It's never been ob bulls board that toms unhappy about not getting a new deal. He's asked to wait till mid season before opening talks. All the rumours are being started by a rhinos fan stirring. If Tom leaves Bradford it will be for Nrl.

Fair do's mate just what i'd read somewhere.

I think it's a safe bet he'll be at the bulls for a couple of years yet before going to the NRL with a good reputation at the back of him.

Definitely. We now have both money and cap space. And young talented British props are scarce. Any possible chance to accrue one of the top talents should be taken without second thought. Especially when we have cap space and (soon to be) transfer money.

Any slight chance of signing him and I'd be straight to Bradford with a transfer fee.

Saints are currently interested in Tom Burgess, if there's room for movement it is perfectly plausible that Wigan have made an approach.

Hope we are going to pull out a top class signing as a shock announcement buut cant see it. I see a half back as an equal priority to a centre

Tim Smith confirmed 1 year deal with Wakey. Good signing I reckon.

Must just have been waiting for the visa to be sorted. Seems odd that it's been announced in such a low key way though.
