My son plays rugby and met Heath at the Last game at home and asked him straight up "are you going back to Aus Heath cos your my best player" Heath laughed and said he had thought about it but had made up his mind that his home is now Bradford and he won't be leaving anytime soon.

Heath flies back from Oz this week, leaving his wife and little one. That's commitment!!!

Just read thread i have been told that at the end of last season that leaks were comming out of the club to the T and A.
Investigations led back to Heath which led to alot of un rest in the changing room and was thought by many to be poor form. The then owner Omar wanted to sack him but did not. So if i were a bulls fan no great loss as he portraid himself as the face of the Bulls!!!!

Bloody ell....another day, another rumour!!!

And they always come from the one post wonders... I know I don't post very often but it makes you wonder when someone feels so strongly to enlighten us all that they sign up just to make that one unsettling rumour post.

Personally, I don't think Heath is going anywhere, my source? The fact Heath has said so himself, openly. Given Heath's character I would trust him!

I heard that Greg Inglis had a curry in Bradford last week and enjoyed it so much that he's not going back to South Sydney after the World Cup and has instead signed for the Bulls.

In all seriousness, I'm with Bulls4. Heath said he was staying, and so I believe he will stay.

TBH if he does go i think we are ok at hooker - Diskin for another season with O'Brien and Conroy vying for the bench. And Addy if needed, was impressed with his distribution for Scotland last game when he went to hooker.

Hopefully we can still bring in a couple of South Sea Islanders, a Centre and a Prop would be nice.

This is what Heath said at the last match before going home. Hope this is the case.

Wow just wanted to enlighten you about really happened lads. No axe to grind here Heath is not comming back that is fact. And was caught tipping the T and A and was sacked as skipper FACT! If that is what you want from your skipper thaen good luck to you. Check your sources!!!!

There is an easy way to settle the rumour. Get on twitter ask Heath himself

What? You mean actually ASK someone if a rumour is true? Why would anyone do that when they can just come on here and talk rubbish

You are either a malicious troll or just a mischief maker?
Heath Le Strange is an ambassador for the foundation and a community role model for the club.
Your remarks are designed to cause him damage to both his reputation and his professional standing with the Bulls and it's supporters. This is pure and simple libel, so may I suggest you shut up, or put up?

Well it seems that this rumour is true... I mean he put 'FACT' after his sentences. The people that do that always end up being right



Not having a pop at you leedsfan just have my own opinion as do you. Heath has come out and said he is staying until he/the club say he is gone then I chose to believe he is still a Bull.

No need to ask Heath personally as he has already answered this question personally and said he wasn't leaving

Thanks for replies but the rest of the squad were told this week i have been informed. He is not comming back and you putting your faith in him as a figure head bla bla bla is up to you. But you would be surprised if you new the truth or even if you just read the truth on the above chat! But it will come out in the wash and dont tell me i was wrong when you realise you have been fighting the corner or someone that does not deserve it.

Really? Who's told you this. If it's so true you should have no trouble naming your source.

Roof aldo cant tell you that pal but believe me will break this week i would suggest that he is not returning.

Not as much to do in Perpignan as you thought Elliot ?

Leeds fan is right, he has gone!!!

Confirmed on BBC that L'Estrange has left on 'compassionate grounds'.

I'm assuming many have the mail shot in which he explains his decision?

I first thought it was a direct email telling me off for spreading rumours!

Anyway, as mentioned earlier, I think it's the best thing for him and he certainly has done this properly and I also think in the mid-to-long term this is what's best for the club.

So when is Paul McShane signing?! We may aswell lump in Moore, Senior and Ronnie the Rhino... again.

He had French blood in him after all. I'm well up for next season now it's another backs against the wall job

A genuinely good player and a nice guy who never gave less than 100% during 5 seasons which saw some of the worst Bradford teams in living memory.

Good luck Heath and Jessica.

What changed over the 7 months since

Still it's a quota spot the club is bigger than any one player.

Would you say the "is not likely to bring in a replacement" comment is linked solely to the hooking role? We have spoken in many lengths about our squad not being big enough, i just hope that his wage is being re-invested somewhere into playing personnel .
Its becoming a bit of a joke now, i know with us being a team who are more likely to miss the play off than reach them, then we are going to struggle to keep and attract the better players, but looking in it doesnt look good. We can only hope the Kearney rumour is just that.

McShane to the Bulls?
