Bulldog Days Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 It does look like the Bulls are starting to build from a solid base for the first time in many years, and the pulling power of a Coach with the pedigree of John Kear has a huge part to play in attracting SL/ ex SL players, who are able to improve their game under him. I do have doubts about the 'Chinese Wall' with the Sawyers between Dewsbury and Bradford, but good luck to Bradford in the new venture to resurrect a sleeping giant of the game. I just hope that we can attract some additional players of quality before the season ( experience required) to lead the young talent on the pitch.

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly the RL press didn't seek to publicise this. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

I'd settle for leaving Hull with Doncaster, and signing Watson Boas from the Keepmoat. He certainly did a job on GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did Fev get rid.I'm sure there are complications related to PNG players (visas etc ).Apparently he wasn't first choice at Donny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildog Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Donny must have a good un then!! I keep asking, are we talking? Would he have played enough games to qualify for a visa, like the problems there were with Uce? What was his national background, and are there different laws for different countries? I'm sure I saw somewhere about players from some country who didn't count as overseas players due to being development nations or am I dreaming? Maybe a Post Office Roader mjght be able to enlighten us on the Boas front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a Post Office Roader mjght be able to enlighten us on the Boas front? As far as I know Boas as signed a contract at Doncaster. Is it true that PNG players that come over to play in this country can only play rugby and not seek other employment? If true they need a decent contract to be able to live on. Or do what Sheffield do,apply for a student visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry my mistake BSJ. Still say his wage demands would be outside what we could offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
