Keyes might not even want to come back. Our history of administrations still hangs over the club and will for some time. I wouldn't begrudge anyone thinking twice about taking up a job with an employer with such a shaky track record.

1st of all nothing is even confirmed.

2nd no one on either this forum or the panthers one really knows the true finances of either club or what has been put on the table for Keyes

We're interested in Sheffield winger/fullback Ryan Miller apparently.

I agree with the consensus that having all 3 of Brough, Lilley & Keyes would be an expensive luxury. That doesn't mean we didn't offer Keyes a contract, possibly we were thinking Brough/Keyes was slightly better than Brough/Lilley?

Re: New Signings : Fri Sep 03, 2021 1:01 pm  

Perhaps - I agree we're unlikely to be able to afford all three. Brough is staying for next year so if it were a choice between Keyes and Lilley it's a difficult one. Both have attributes the other doesn't. Keyes for instance is more of an attacking threat and more creative and he can direct the team as a single halfback. Lilley is stronger, more durable, better defensively and more versatile but struggles a bit to direct the team on his own.

Re: New Signings : Fri Sep 03, 2021 5:48 pm  

I would be happy with Lilley or Keyes, but I wouldn't be surprised to see neither in Bulls colours. Sounds like we are going to see a big turnover of players, I'd rather we have a bit of stability in key positions.

Lilley is off

Fax outbidding us for players does seem to happen a lot...

Has anyone else actually said we were in for Keyes? Even then, if we retained Lilley, and possibly Brough, then it's likely that Fax will outbid us as he'll be their main half back so will spend larger chunk of their budget on him.

I think you're getting carried away with his accounts and Fax outbidding us for players Greg. Your taking on your forum how down to the bare bones you are this year and aren't bringing anyone in? Seems strange considering how healthy your accounts were 12 months a go...

No I agree my comment was just down to a Bulls fan talking like Fax and York shouldn't be able to outbid Bradford. Given recent financial history of the teams I know who my money is on to be in the best financial state.

Sounds like we have offered Matty Dawson-Jones a new deal
