Fax weren’t unprofessional, that’s your opinion, Grix has a very direct communication style , all he said was Arundel hadn’t reached the heights expected as an ex superleague player and had struggled to adapt from full time to part time rugby , and that basically he hadn’t reached the standards expected enough on a consistent basis. I suspect that applies to many fax players who have left in the last couple of seasons, rightly or wrongly, springer , Morris, arundal , Martin , aston , even a couple of seasons ago Grix called salty out on his efforts and he went on to win player of the season, it’s grixs’ style , he gives the players a chance to redeem prove themselves and expect ms a reaction , walmsey n jouffret at the beginning of last season were dropped and come back firing , Grix demands high standards , that’s not unprofessional.

Yes I agree and good luck to them and him , a competitive Bradford is always good for us and the sport in general, they’ve signed some decent players some come with risks attached but I guess that applies to all players I guess . I thought arundal improved as the season went on but ultimately Grix sees things differently , I don’t think his statement was unprofessional he was just stating his truth as he has done about cole Oakley. I think our squad is at 24 now and suspect given what our board and Grix have said there’ll be a couple of new additions in the new year .

I mean fatford bulls were probably the most unprofessional team ever to grace the championship last year but ok .

Yes it was a bit harsh , I think Grix likes a certain type of player,( doesn’t seem to be a fan of luxury players)he made similar comments about springer yet he’s gone on to play well for other clubs .

I don’t think Flanagan jr is a world beater, I don’t think you’re signings are as good as what the press are making out , seems to be some kind of weird Bradford love and I don’t get it , going from 9th to challenging for promotion seems a bit of a stretch regardless of a clear out . Cabbage.

Why is everyone playing at Bradford suddenly rated as world beaters ? Is Nigel paying the press to exaggerate things to get the fans back , everyone else in the league might as well not bother according to the journalist, doing my turnip in .

Agree completely, the first game against Batley away he was out muscled and subsequently dropped , came back against fev in the cup and showed a great attitude and scored a brace , turned the momentum when down to eleven against York away and like you say started carrying the ball for his team and getting success as the season progressed, looks like he put 6lb of muscle on and I suspect with a good preseason he’ll be even better next year . If we sign maizen our back line will have pace to burn with walmsey, tibbs , maizen , McComb , rawsthorne to choose from complimented by strong carries from arundal and salty .

Jake maizen rumoured to have signed for fax , looked quality in the World Cup ,hope it’s true .

My bad thought it was about Curtis davies.

Can’t see fax re-signing him , he wasn’t getting a great deal of game time before and we have three hookers now in Brandon Moore , kyle wood and Tom inman .

Fax linked with will Maher , mixed reviews on Twitter, any hull kr fans with objective opinions ?

Isn’t that the young lad who came on in the playoffs and played well for you guys? ( kicked a 40/20) think he’s local to fax

Must admit a little disappointed with this one it’s 50/50 who will regret it the most , the club or the player. Fax have done a good job of keeping signings quiet , haven’t heard a thing apart from doro and king . I wonder if the new board will invest in some late signings.

Tom holmes signs for Bradford, good signing that https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/bradford-bulls-tom-holmes-sheffield-24879225?utm_source=leeds_live_newsletter&utm_campaign=rugby_league_lve_newsletter&utm_medium=emahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.examinerlive.co.uk%2Fsport%2Frugby-league%2Fbradford-bulls-tom-holmes-sheffield-24879225%3Futm_source%3Dleeds_live_newsletter&utm_campaign=rugby_league_lve_newsletter&utm_medium=email

I think the first part of the season he was perhaps not fully committed to the defensive side of the game but I wouldn’t question that now , he took crossley down one on one in the Bradford away game who probably weighs 7/8 stone more . Keyes has a slight build so yeah sometimes he gets rolled but not for the lack of trying.
