Bradley was a guy who seemed to rub quite a few people up the wrong way (sadly most were referees), though if these reported comments from Murray are true it seems there must have been some contact back in Aus before they came over here. Not sure why he should hate Bradford though, other than possibly the fact that Bradley played for us. Maybe this was just a way to engage with the local rabble? Actually that `s not a bad idea........I can think of someone else who might like to make `I hate the Rhinos` comment`, which might help to endear him a bit more to the locals................................

Graham Murry like most people involved in sport will say what he thinks people want to here even if he doesn't normally share their views.

I guess that`s true enough. The fact he reportedly made the comments within ten minutes of arriving at Leeds suggests that might well be the case.

Though if he were to be offered a job here would his old comments come back to haunt him? Would he feel he couldn`t backtrack, I mean the vast majority of professionals don`t make comments about `hating` another club, however intense the rivalry with their current employer and I`d guess that the chief reason would be that they don`t want to queer the pitch for any future job.

There have been a few Leeds and Bradford born players who were well versed in the dislike between the clubs who have pulled on the `other` team`s jumper in the past so maybe it`s possible he`d come.
