No way will it be Gale, he will be a major part of Bradfords team rebuilding.

Not sure if the player will be at the meeting ,I know Tony has spoken to him and he is keen to join us and not just in a playing capacity

Glenn Morrison?

Thanks Chunkster.

I'm with S/O. I don't want the Christmas present unwrapping until Tuesday!

Just to reply to a few comments: Sean Long has just signed for Preston Grasshoppers rugby union team. Luke Gale is a major part of Bradford's plans. I think we can rule these two out.

We also need to face the possible fact that unless some money is found, this person might still not be coming. Let's all get down to the meeting on Tuesday and support the club in trying to give us what we want.

What a state of affairs it would be if next to no one turns up and a major opportunity is lost and gone forever!

If we want the Dons to be successful we really have to show our support to the club!!

Glenn Morrison has reportedly been injured in pre-season training with Wakefield and forced to retire.

The 35-year old suffered a seemingly innocuous training ground injury whilst coaching in the first week of pre-season and medical experts have confirmed worst fears that he has suffered a labral tear in his left shoulder as well as major damage to the joint capsule and bone damage that will require repairing by taking bone from his hip.

Morrison met with shoulder specialist, Professor Funk who explained that due to the extent of the injury and the major surgery that was required, he would have no option but to retire from playing, meaning he will now focus entirely on his role as Wildcats Assistant Coach.

Have all the former Crusaders players found clubs? If not, it could be one of their unsigned former players?

The name I've heard fits this bill.
