This bit made me laugh



“With the amount of bans I’ve had, I’m like an old car with low mileage. I missed a lot of games early in my career and hopefully that will help me later in life.”

lol Ace....

Tury will be the raw power in the first 20 mins of each match, and then just as the defence is about to go into all out retreat he goes off (they breathe a sigh of relief) then on come Latu!!!

What a combo they will be!

Im loving the idea of the Newton/Latu factor

Newton is deadwood, when he got injured and it was down to Godwin, we got better and we didn't lose our last 6-7 matches of the season

Kear told BBC Radio Leeds: "If I was going to put a bet on it I'd bet pretty solidly that Paul would be joining us. The coach added: "I think how things are looking at the moment as long as we can dot the i's and cross the t's it should be a relatively safe bet." Kear doesn't say this unless he's signed. news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 382609.stm

Until Headhunter gets his usual ban for trying to decapitate some poor bugger....Sean Long for instance.

Oh I thought you meant latu

I have a lot more faith in Kear as a coach to get the best out off Newton then I do with Mcnamara. Dave Halley is a name that springs to mind!

Lol we'll see. Ever heard the song lyrics A change would do you good?

Typical Bulls fan, still think they're up there with the best of em and everyone who leaves is useless and everyone who joins is great.

Most who join them start great and end up rubbish!

I say most - Semi was still intact when he left - lucky sod!

Perhaps, but just because you've signed him, doesn't mean he's any good.

Last season, Newton was slow, unfit and dis-interested.

If John Kear can spark him up a bit, you might have a decent player on your hands. But having watched him at Bradford for the last few years I honestly think you've been sold a bit of a lemon

If that's your honest opinion - fair enough.

For my money though JK's opinion is worth considerably more.

IMO Terry is the type of player who needs to move on to a fresh challenge and he seems to have become stale - for whatever reason, possibly no-one's fault - and I guess JK is challenging himself and the player to get him back to something like his best.

I wouldn't like to think of us signing players like this with a rookie coach at the helm - I'd give you that!

I'll be honest with you I didn't like him when he was at wigan and bradford because of the way he plays, he's a very much in your face type player that won't take to much crap, niggally in the tackle and looking for that gap, sooooo pleased he his on our side with him BJ and Morrison they should have enough on the bulls this year to get some pay back

TBH, out of those 3 players the only one I think is still a threat is Morrison

Agreed, if Morrison has some luck with injuries Wakefield have made a tremendous signing and he will come back to haunt us for sure. Missed alot of games for the Bulls though and his quota status made it difficult to retain him.

BJ had some good games for us, but also went missing at times. I use to rate Newton but in 09 he was garbage, glad we have sent him off to his retirement home and signed a younger replacement.

The proof of the pudding and all that, we'll come back to this at some point during the season

I'm sure we will, but don't get all





if we come back to say we told you so

think newton will prove a lot wrong this year. he has done nothing under mcnamara and i am sure his book next year will explain a lot but there again bradford has done nothing under mac

he is the bright light that I hope can ignite us accelerate away from the start but you can't ignore the fact that Terry has got the talent and has got a point to prove, and oh boy do I feel that Bradford going to get the blunt end of a good old fashioned rogering this season

Who have bradford got thats still a threat?
Big struggle for them this year imo

Everything at Bradford depends on their overseas signings. Everything - even Macca's job!
