. . . it's like watching (reading) a swarm of angry wasps



. . . . . . and, for the record, rightly so

There can be some 'interpretation' re world class / top clas players.

If we take current or recent internationals for Oz / NZ / England / SOO or equivalent then Bradford certainly signed them in the past while retaining home grown talent. In recent years the quality has left the club and the players brought in have not been as good + injury prone.

Leaving aside the "Guess Who" Anti-Bradford handbags - I'm sure someone with time on their hands can prove the point as I know I could if I was so-minded - lets get back to the "why would he come?" business.

Of course he would indeed only come for the money. End of. Given equal money, then the other factors would doubtless come into play, but of course he'd come for a payday. Anyone in his position would do the same? Go ask your Morans and Davys all about that (and no criticism of them in that).

More to the point, would we WANT a megasuperhyper marquee player? On a megasuperhyper package taking away from the rest of the squad?

I submit that we would NOT. Hell, haven't we learned our lesson from the Harris disaster? We saw where THAT "Marquee" signing got us.

Surely what we need instead is a number of very good quality players, just below the "marquee" level, who cost individually quite a lot less but who are individually only a very little less talented? Lot more bang for your bucks, and not putting all your eggs in one basket and hacking off the rest of the team (Harrisgate redux...)?

In fact, sort of what the club is actually doing right now? With signing players who I personally believe...no expect (and you can write that down someplace) to do a lot better for us than the Jeremiahs on here are telling us.

Signing Joe Superstar might make the fans feel a bit better, but would it actually be the action most likely to enhance the team performance? I submit that in our present circumstances - probably not?

And as I have said before, the club has stated that they have been spending the whole salary cap, I have been told this and I believe them, so I do not buy into the argument that there must be a huge unspent pot available somewhere.

End of the day, nothing the club does or says between now and the start of next season is going to affect many supporters' assessment. The Jeremiahs will continue to prophecy dire developments, and the some of the remaining optimists will keep their heads down in the face of their derision. That can only change once the 2010 team gets out on the park.

Can't come soon enough. Bring it on.

They're the ones with "Guess Who" at the top left


Except, he's not. His stock is quite high at the fleeting moment, but what has he achieved in the game? A mid-table position with Parrammatta and a loser in one GF?


Yep. Sad, but true. With 1 or 2 honourable exceptions, as true as a true thing.


Awww, bless. "Agenda", FFS!!! Have we hurt your feelings? Compose yourself, Ethel!

So all he wants is to go to teams that will "win things" is it? That, presumably, is why last year on being dropped by NZ he even took out a lawsuit trying to switch to the tournament favourites, Tonga?

Let me ask you a question; when the likes of Morrison, Menzies, Bird, Hall and L'Estrange [iare[/i happy to sign for the Bulls, why would someone like Moi Moi not? His stock is fairly high, but he's hardly in a different league from such company, now is he? What's he ever done? FFS, NZ didn't even pick him for the 2008 WC.
