Sutcliffe to Bradford not good news for us....Kath needs to put her foot down with the hubby on that one.....

Leeds will be looking after their own interests. Not worried as Bulls down to bare bones on size which will probably cost them when it comes to rotation. BJB would be a massive move for us. Competition for places there isnt at moment so him coming would be a massive kick up the khyber for them.

Sutcliffe would be a big boost for Bradford. I think he is a fantastic player.

BJB would be excellent, even for a short loan. Problem is short term loans do upset the side a bit.
If he replaces Mathers, Fox or Lyne you have to accept you may be left with a disgruntled player when they leave.

Some may say that is good for those players but it will leave us worse than we are now.
Like him or not Mathers is a key part of team. Let him go by all means but don't owe him off and then keep him.

Saying all that clearly BJB is better than all of them and would be great for us.

Would BJB play at centre with Sykes initially then with Collis when he returns from injury?

Or has Mathers been that poor he will slot in at full back? This would mean we'd still be very weak at centre for Les Cat this weekend?

Where is all the money coming from to pay for this?



Are we going to off load a player or send Keinhorst/Briscoe back?

Let's just hope that we do sign him at the end of his contract. (Only if he fits within our budget.) let's just hope he does.
Not let him go to the Red Devils as it's says in the Yorkshire Evening Post.

BJB would be a shrewd deal and although it's only an initial one month deal, whose to say it wouldn't be extended? Personally rate him more than Briscoe whose replaced him

Mathers, BJB, Briscoe, Keinhorst, Fox, Moore, McShane, Scruton, Lauitiiti, D Smith.. Missing a stand off, scrum half and second rower off a full ex/current Leeds squad.

Just goes to show how much talent can be unearthed if you invest in youth properly

Would be happy with BJB, he is better than our current wingers, If he has a similar impact that what Dave Halley had when he came in on Loan I would be very happy.

Him outside Collis would be a tasty proposition, I should imagine.

I can't remember which side he plays but either outside Collis or outiside Lauititi would be fine.
He will not get the same chances as he gets at Leeds but his kick return and speed on the wing is worth creating a plan to simply get him the ball.
Possibly full back just to get him some ball in space

Ryan Hall plays on the left so I would guess he plays on the right?

Ben jones bishop straight in at full back for me ,one of mathers or lyne or briscoe onto the wing.

Would be a fantastic signing if it comes off

This would be a major boost just before some vital games if it comes off. He would be a big improvement on the wing instead of Lyne, at Fullback for Mathers or, at this point in his career, Briscoe at centre. Get him in!

Other side for me. I know people have issues with Fox but it's a productive partnership.

He is but we have the creative players now, we also have some size in the pack what we really need is some strike power and he offers that. Should take the FB roll for me but I expect to see him play SR.

If we got him FB for me.

Please don't joke! It could happen,

I agree he will be most useful for us at fullback. I think it will test Agar out to keep Mathers happy which is important if he is our long term option but for me, best player gets the gig and that is BJB.
I think with Fox, Lyne and Sammut with speed to burn, BJB will give them a go forward they can latch on to.

Isn't mathers vice captain? Cant see him being dislodged of he is? Would be a better option in my eyes though.

For me I'd drop Lyne and put BJB in his place. I know BJB played right wing at Leeds but I'd like to see him in place with the Fox Collis partnership maintained.

Whilst a lot of people criticise Mathers I think Lyne is the weakest out of Lyne/Mathers/Fox. I was also dismayed at Lyne standing like a zombie watching the ball bounce on Sunday until Wigan picked it up and ran in tries. Lyne is okay going forward and very fast but defensively I think he needs to work more on his game.

Mathers isn't long term hes OOC end of this season?

If they don't buck up their ideas they may all be OOC by the end of the season!

Good point well made. I can't see BJB being the long term plan either but no harm in making him feel welcome and encouraging him to stay longer. Amor liked it

I remember Mathers playing in the centre for Cas against us one game at Belle Vue and i believe he scored and may have got the League Express MOM for what its worth!

Playing there he wouldnt be so isolated in defense but at the same time would we be just fitting a square peg in a round hole?
