Wasn't the received wisdom that we'd be screwed this year because nobody would melt down like Wakefield did?

Indeed it was.


Of course, no one has ...........yet!

There are three candidates in HKR, Leigh, and Salford, Wakey have form, and Huddersfield, while they will probably pull it back round, are at least candidates for having a shocker. Whilst I take no joy in the failings of other clubs, it brings the dignified, steady approach of Bradford into stark relief and I take great pleasure in that.

I wouldn't wanna get into a legal wrangle with Beaumont because he may be the sort of man who will stop at nothing to preserve his pride, and taking issues with him to court could lead literally anywhere and could last a ling time.

Looking at both Leigh and Salford it makes me thankful we got Marc Green as our owner. He may not be a mega millionaire but he comes over as a very sensible chap who will do things right and that may count for us with the RFL if they have any quiet chats about changing the set up to allow dead wood to drop out of SL and devising a better way for a well run championship team to move up. We should stay well away from any of this nonsense and get on with building our club back up in a responsible way.

On Brierley, I doubt that many SL clubs will be looking at him. There has to be doubt about his ability at that level. He has apparently got set up for 2017 so it would be a short term deal that would be unsuitable for most clubs. Hudds are desperate for someone but most other teams are fine for halves.

I refer the gentleman to my earlier quote.

As I said im pretty sure no one at Leigh will claim Bradford did anything wrong (anything at all in fact).
Maybe someone tried to use it as leverage to get extra cash?

Maybe someone at the club contacted Bradford to ask if it were true and were told No it isn't?

Re: Illegal approach? : Sat Mar 05, 2016 8:11 pm  

Well. Reading brierleys public reply to Leigh, we can answer the op. No, no it appears we did not make an illigal approach, need to look closer to home for the source of the troubles. Id be surprised if he's a free agent for long though if he does walk out on April 1st.

I hope the bulls don't publish a single word on this issue.
