[/url] Would be a good signing imo, but i'd rather have Myler

Poor lad. We put him in the first team and couldn't cut it. So he took his bat and ball back to the Whinos. When the going got tough he got out.

His opinion is apparently gospel when it comes to all academy players at all clubs. If anyone disagrees, they don't know what they're talking about. This counts also for when former academy players in the last 5 years break through into the first team of their club.

He is not the answer to our halfback problem! at least not yet!!!

His attitude stunk this year whilst on loan as Halifax as he sulked when not picked in the first team.

I taught him at high school and coached him a little. he was the best player on the team. His cousin who is a year older is a better player, He is Luke Gale who plays for Quins.

they have both been in the Leeds system for years ( at least since 2000)

Linking them both up at 6 and 7 would be good, but perhaps in a year or two.
He has some past links with the club, as his dad is ( or was) the main person in the UK for ISC when they did our kit! this is probably of no relevance!!!

There sounds to be potential in him though.

Why wouldn't we need an understudy for a year or two?
We just probably need a more senior half back to come in the short term too.

Bradford used to have a bit of a reputation for not tolerating the disruptive players, hence why an obviously talented Chris Bridge never got through (among others).

I get the feeling that was more of a Brian Noble at Bradford thing, but if it's still the case, that might be a reason for not signing this lad. Sounds like he's a bit of a prima donna.

Sean Long is a massive improvement on deacon.

Indeed, the greatest British match-winner of his generation, and a much needed big name and character to boot.

It's a no-brainer, sign him up.
