Bradford Bulls have brought in Ashley Gibson. Gibson will likely go straight into the 19 man squad for Sunday. http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/article/ ... ue-centre-

Underwhelmed but signing until 2018 which would make me think there is a plan...

Centre not a priority but clearly better than Mendeika so have to be pleased with the signing.

If Lilley doesn't come back then Smith to FB when fit rather than in centres as Thomas will need to play in halves.

Solid player with experience which is something we're lacking in the back line

Re: Ashley Gibson : Thu Jun 29, 2017 4:54 pm  

Could turn out to be a shrewd signing. Hopefully his attitude will be spot on and he'll be good for us. Hopefully Oakes stays on next season too so we have 3 good centres in Oakes, Smith and Gibson.

He's been great for us and is a real solid player as stated. He won't let you down.

Re: Ashley Gibson : Thu Jun 29, 2017 5:22 pm  

Good signing. Experience in a position we're really lacking depth. Just a shame we couldn't get him I'm 4 weeks ago.

Would be interesting to find out if there are any clauses regarding the 2018 part of the deal....

A SL player signing for a club destined for the drop into CH1.
Maybe he has heard something or been assured something that we are all guessing about.
You do have to wonder if something is afoot.

Unless he was in his last year and needs to play regular to put himself in shop window for a new contract as he may have a clause in his contract that says if we go down he is free to leave?
