Any chance of either ending up down in London??

Yes, but only when Crusaders come to town.

Just seen on Twitter that Phelps still doesnt know anything about a contract for him next season

I don't suppose he will until Wigan have decided one way or the other about making another signing from Australia.



Mark Riddell's early departure has freed up quite a bit more cash than was expected.

Bradford sink to new lows by signing a player thats actually in prison [urlhttp://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/4960/RAYNOR%20WINGS%20IN%20FOR%20BULLS[/url

he is very lucky for them to want him.

Bradford are going to be pants next year, they will sign anyone as they are skint eastwood. I wouldn't mind trying to sign Scruton, I'm sure Bradford enjoy recieving transfer fees.

Which do part do you think is the 'new low' for Bradford?



The fact they've signed someone who is in prison or the fact they've gone for Gareth Raynor.

Raynor's an average signing but still a big step up from their last capture - Ian Sibbit.



Bradford's 2011 recruitment has been really poor so far. As someone who genuinely wants Bradford to become a real force again for the benefit of the game, its disappointing.

Is that more morally wrong than re-signing a player who broke someone's jaw, or a player who broke someone's back, or a cocaine user, or Paul Koloi. We're not in a position to really judge them on things like this. In fact, I can't think of many clubs who could take the moral high ground.

Im not saying its more morally wrong than anything. I just think that given the circumstances its a stupid signing. Bradford are a struggling club and he will do more bad for the club than good IMO - hes missed all this season, been in prison so wont have been able to train with professionals, is the wrong side of 30, and he's not exactly a great role model for the young players at Bradford like Ainscough, Donaldson, Vinny F, The Burgess Twins etc. I'd be embarrassed and gutted if we had signed him.

Thats spot on imo. He was done for dodgy ink cartridges or something wasnt he? Not exactly a violent criminal and he can only play when hes done his time. We have apparantly resigned or are going to resign Hock who is currently banned!

Are you of the same opinion with us potentially re-signing Gareth Hock then?



Because Gareth Hock has missed all this season, served a sentence, wont have been able to train with professionals, and (in your own words) "not exactly a great role model for the young players".



I think as supporters we'd be hypocritical if we started lambasting Bradford for signing Gareth Raynor, for the reasons above.
