We won't be making any signings from the Bulls although we have been offered some. Here :-

And maybe warning agents of their conduct.

Does this now change with the news that Bradford have now gone into liquidation? I 100% agreed with the statement before the news broke, however there are now players needing a job and so does that change the goalposts slightly?

The club is rumoured to reform, did the Rfl take over there contracts to safeguard them? I'm sure that's happened before

Good point. I guess we will need to wait for the statement from the RFL. If the club does reform will it be with a points deduction in the Championship, or on zero points in Championship 1? Whichever it is, I would suggest that there will be players wanting out any way as some won't wont to play with a 12 point deduction as it will be nearly impossible to compete to get in the top 4, and some just won't want to play in Championship 1. We shall wait and see

The club can reform will a clean slate now and you will see a lot of people trying to get hold of the club now ...sadly there are people who will have lost a lot of money including fans who up to a couple of days ago were buying season tickets when it must have been known they were throwing there money away

According to the report on the BBC website all players have been made redundant. Surely that means that we could sign any that we thought fitted in without it being morally wrong? They are effectively out of work and need employment

If that is true a couple of trialist maybe heading down t'lane I would have thought.

What about taking James Clare back as we need another wing option?

That's only if they can find another suitable buyer.

Sorry that response was to your previous post.

I think I've seen that Clare has gone to Leigh?

[The Firm]

With all Bradfords players now free agents i guess the clubs statement is obselete.

If we were to move for any of their players then i'd go for a young lad by the name if Ethan Ryan. 20 year old winger or centre who made his debut last season. Has a touch of class and the look of aplayer who will go far in the game to me.

that's a pretty random statement to me, but clearly something has been going on behind the scenes? Anyone got any info?

Surely we're not just saying it to have a pop at Buy, Randy Clarke, Anne Diamond and Dunny Semolina.


Hopefully Pete Riding is in talks with DP about which young guns to snare.

Might have something else up our sleeves.

AFAIAA Players have been offered to other clubs by the administrator. We were offered Clare and Whelham. We are the only club to respond to the offer by the administrator by declining. I'm sure some clubs will have agreed to take other players on but they are waiting for the emotional side of things to die down a bit first before they announce it.

League Express quoted Daryl Powell on the James Clare situation saying that he'd spoken to JC but that he didn't have the desire for the challenge at Castleford in front of him.

Whether it's in response to that I don't know.

Ryan looks a good prospect. I'd also have a look at Oscar Thomas - a F/B and S/O who came through the London ranks.
