Where have the likes of Le Cam gone released from Catalan?

He doesn't doesn't seem to be on the TO radar. What is on the radar looks OK, but to be honest, getting anyone to come to France for championship money is difficult. They need new money to kick start a new campaign.

Eribe Doro announced at Fax. Happy with this signing and been impressed by him every time I have seen him play.

Typical Wire - They mass buy in props and release one of their youngsters with promise never having given him the chance to establish himself at the club.

Some rumours,rather than confirmed signings,would be nice.

 

Well a report rather than a rumour, but Matt Shaw suggests that Bradford have had to withdraw their offer to hooker Curtis Davies because they still haven't found a resolution to the issue of how to get Dec Patton off the payroll.

This does beg the question, if they can't afford Davies - whose last 3 gigs were with Villeneuve, Workington and Whitehaven - how on earth could they afford Jack Walker? Hard not to think it's cost Leeds a fair bit to get him off the books.

How much is Patton likely to be on? surely they could pay him off with Bradford paying some and his new club paying some.

Bulls linked with a current PNG player apparently with that news coming from down under. 🤔

 

Where have you seen that? They confirmed at their fans forum that there was 2 players coming from teams in the world cup QF, so would make sense that it's probably PNG and Fiji. Also stated 2 super league players were joining. Not sure who though.

I don't know, but you'd think he would have been just about Bradford's highest earner when he came - did he have a job outside RL? - and he then signed a contract extension after just one game, a win against subsequently-relegated Dewsbury - which obviously doesn't look such a good decision for the Bulls now.

His stock must have plummeted more than most Championship players this season, his form went down the pan, I don't think Kear (who was a big fan) leaving helped at all, and then he received the long ban for gouging (think he still has two matches left on that). Most Bradford fans on social media seem to want to get rid of him.

Other than Toulouse, who desperately need half backs but don't seem to have much cash to spend, it's hard to see who might want him at anything other than a basement price, especially as everyone knows Bradford want to lose him. In the current financial climate, he's not likely to accept a net cut in wages when he's under contract, you'd have thought, so it might cost Bradford a lot to move him on.

Either that or he got it wrong in the first place and is now back tracking. There is money to spend on a 9 as Doyle has left I doubt they are not going to sign a hooker just because Patton is still on the books

Possibly, Shaw isn't infallible but he's right a lot more often than he's wrong and is by some way the most reliable source amongst the UK RL media fraternity.

Didn't Shaw also say that Bradford intend to use Patton at 9 if he does stay?

No mention of Patton on the Toulouse Olympique website, but if he is going there, maybe to soon yet for an announcement.

Joe Bretherton is staying at TO XIII for what will be his fifth or sixth season there.

Doubt it. Lilley if anyone from Halves would be better at Hooker. Thought Hallas was staying as he can cover there. However his Australian club move has been cancelled......

 

Crikey I feel like I'm turning into Gledhill.
