How disgusting the Bulls stripping Salford of their best players knowing that they are in a desperate situation.

Shocking.
I hope the Bulls go down, all die of the plague etc etc

All those who had a go at the Giants seem very quiet

Are you going to lock this thread when you run out of arguments too?

On most sites I expect the mods to be amongst the most reasonable, knowledgeable and sensible posters.

Now, I know the Shudds board is full of inbred half-wits, but surely this idiot can't be amongst the best of them? Any less intelligent and he/she wouldn't be able to turn a computer on.

If hes one of their best then the rest are hopeless going on what the salford fans think of him, that hes just a soft plodder, they are better off without him and is of no loss.

In my eyes hes a step up on mason who in turn is s tep up on fielden, so while we pick up the players who have years in front of them you lot stick to picking up our leftovers.

Just to clear up any misunderstandings. On our website at Salford it says it was arranged for Sidlow to go to Bradford regardless of the desperate money side of things. Nothing underhand by Bulls at all, just a player not fitting in anymore and wanting to move. I wish him the best of luck. www.reds.co.uk/rugby-news/sidlow ... ford-bulls I just hope we can keep the rest of our tiny squad, but I think we are in deep trouble and unless we get new owners next week - we won't have a club for 2013 ...

Don't feed the trolls!!

Trouble is the link post says nothing that suggests anything about the deal.


However Sidlows comments are interesting.



So Sidlow leaves a club in a dodgy position even subject to a contract and joins the Bulls. to get security for himself and family Bulls fans say well done lad.

Kopczak leaves struggling club to get security for himself and family and joins the Giants. Bulls fans say, traitor

The smell of Hypocrisy is overpowering

Difference being sidlow has gone to a club with ambition, koppy went to a club on the rise, unfortunately its still many rungs behind the bulls, every time you start to climb the ladder, it slips and you end up flat on your face.

That's probably your colon.

Our dodgy finances aside, Adam Sidlow was not likely to be retained at beyond this coming season anyway, so a 2 year deal at another club would be better security for him. Message coming out of Salford is that is was Vievers decision to let him go, and not financially motivated. He has all the physical attributes to be an excellent prop, but rarely runs his weight, and often lacks agression. Who knows, he may find these things at Bradford! Good luck to him and the Bulls!

It could be a "who's punching below their weight" competition between him and Scruton?

Isn't it more that Bradford approached Salford about an under contract player and Salford agreed to release him as he didn't fit into their plans. The player then signed a deal with Bradford leaving everyone involved with the result they wanted.
If we'd approached Sidlow directly, while making no representation to Salford, who'd then found a legal loop hole to get out of his contract, maybe there would be grounds to compare the 2 deals.

But lets not let that get in the way of having a little b***h giant fans

Difference is Bradford approached Salford and asked whether Sidlow was available (take note Giants) and were given permission to speak to the player.

Sidlow didn't on his teammates before the end of the season either. But we've moved on and I wish Craig success your quarter full stadium.

Quarter full!!

Didn't know they'd sold [ithat[/i many...Respect!!

I've just twigged we're becoming more like Leeds, as they approached Salford about Joel Moon, came to an agreement with the club, then signed the player. Damn, this must stop!

A mis-informed, bigoted pop at us, I believe is what you meant to say

I'm sure you're not the first person to give Durham Giant the clap.

However, Durham Giant has been shown up for know-nothing that he is, his arguments carry less water than a polo mint and no doubt he's love to lock this thread so people will stop laughing at his stupidity

Is it? Smells more like total bullshhit to me, as Kopczak was under contract to the Bulls but chose to walk out. He was the only player to do so. Sidlow has not walked out on his team-mates at a key point mid-season. Salford, Sidlow and the Bulls have handled the transfer properly and amicably. Kopczak just walked, claiming to be a free agent.

I don't have as much problem with Kopczak as some people, though what he did was disappointing, but there really is no comparison between the two cases. Anyone with half a brain knows this.
