Sounds to me like it still leaves his SL, and his league career in general, very much open.

His agent has gone on record and said that he still wants to play for Bradford, and Bradford still want him to play for them.

I suspect this may be a case of him keeping his fitness levels, and his competitive edge up until his court case is over and done with in April.

I'd be surprised if it's over that quick it only starts in april doesn't it??
I see what your saying match fit wise but what about risk of injury because he's bound to be targeted.

What's he doing playing union then, he'd be better off doing nothing.

It's scheduled to last 3 days 27th, 28th & 29th of April so it will be over in April.

If we're still after signing him then it's good that he's doing something to maintain his fitness levels instead of sitting on the couch eatting chips or something

Playing Union may also be of benefit as it will vary his style of play and he could bring more creative flow into the Bradford side.
