I heard that. But I thought the player had to have played a certain amount of first grade games before they were allowed to play in super league. Didn't we try to sign a young halfback at the start of the season, only to to be knocked back because of that reason

has anyone heard any rumours about FC and a tournament in Vegas?

Not next year he won't, and depending on outcome of negotiations maybe not anytime in forseeable future either. definitely at bradford for 2013 season at least. http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportbulls/9935536.Bradford_Bulls__Bateman_contract_talks_under_way/

As you've said "defo" I assume this is NOT a rumour. Much the same as:

Or...

Or perhaps, your take on Galea...

And...

You need new sources, BB, but lets look at your final list of our, ahem, signings...

With the lack of halfback talent, wouldn't we be better keeping Seymour than sign a NRL reserve grade player.

TBH happy that we have signed one very good halfback.

Seymour failed a medical at giants, as previous regime signed him with no medical, ala adam dykes

We tried to sign Michael Picker, Canberra's reserve stand off. Think it was drink driving charges that stopped him getting a visa but can't quite remember. Picker's not standing out in the reserves so it was maybe for the best.

Best thing about Chase not signing is that we can target a genuine scrum half, and let Holdsworth play his preferred, natural position of stand off.
