Ryan Bailey

Bailey has gone to hunslet

Re: Rumours 2014 : Thu Mar 27, 2014 8:16 pm  

The dark days have started - Hunslet are now beating us to signings.

Wonder what he's done wrong at Leeds? Must be well out of favor to be sent to Hunslet - They'll be plenty of semi pro players happy to rough him up this weekend. Feeling slightly Jealous!

BTW, even though he's at Hunlet (this week!), we should still attempt to sign him, even if there is only the slightest chance of pulling the deal off. He's probably, imo, better than any of our current forwards.

I think we will struggle to get any players, who would want to join a club that has had more owners than I've had hot dinners recently. In such a short career players want stability and a good wage, neither of which the Bulls can provide. We need some positive press, perhaps contract extensions or something to raise our reputation.

Bailey is a nasty old bugger - but I would have him up at Odsal tomorrow if possible. We need a couple of them asap. Is it true that Ferguson could be finished as per Sculthorpe with us a few years ago.

I'd be surprised if that was the case with Ferguson. He wasn't even expecting to have surgery until recently, so the medical staff must have been confident that physio would do the trick. Even after surgery, it would be far too early to determine how the recovery will turn out.

Does anyone know if he's actually had the surgery yet?

No it's not

Anyone know if there's some decent championship players about. Every other team seems to be able to pick them.
How's Steve Crossley getting on at Fev?

Problem with the part time players in lower divisions is that many of them have decent jobs to accommodate them being semi pro.

When you add their working salaries on top of their part time playing salary, it becomes quite a decent wage you have to match.
