Meh, not as good as Lulia, but I suppose we were lucky to have had him, Lulia had played a fair bit of 1st grade whereas this lad hasn’t. I’ll reserve judgement till I’ve seen him in action but he looks like a typical Kopak Stiff/Bartercard Reject of yesteryear, sort of a Willie Isa/Patrick Ah Van quality. I can’t wait to be proved wrong.

Leave paddy alone! I don't think he did much wrong for us, and he will always score you his quota of tries. Plus he fulfilled our "big hair" quota for a while.

I don't think Ah Van was that bad. His finishing was excellent. However his defence and fitness were not so excellent.

Can I remind everyone of the times Ah Van pelted out of the defence to miss his opponent and leave a huge gap behind. Lulia was a thousand times better. Ah Van, while not quite in the Nick Zisti class of Bulls ex players was the sort of player that you get in a team that won’t make the 8.

Ah Van was never a centre for me. He didn't have the ball playing skill or defensive awareness. He is a winger.

Re: Adam Henry - From Newtown Jets to Bradford Bulls : Fri Oct 11, 2013 1:39 pm  

I completely went off Ah Van when watching the game where he knocked on 2 or three times from the base of the scrum. He had this 'lazy' persona when playing a game, and yes Bullseye, he was criminal at trying to put a big shot on, and always missing!

Edit: And his kicking was terrible!

Think that was the Saints at home match. Every time we went down his side he knocked on. He was at centre in that match IIRC.

Updated on wikipedia so must be true.

Looks a decent prospect, we hadnt really heard to much of Lulia before he came and purtell so lets hold our breath until we at least see him in action.
