Not that many then

Not the best kept secret after his family returned to Oz earlier this year, he has had a great year with us, would have been nice to have had him go around again next season but it must have been tough for him once they went home. 

[georgeb1]

Thurs evening will be both memorable and emotional, Fantastic memories and ups and downs in our first superleague season (hopefully many more to come ) , should be an amazing atmosphere and send off for all connected with the club

[HaxbyKnight]

I agree entirely, and in amongst all the celebrations, we should not forget the massive impact Clint Goodchild has had on getting us where we are.

I will never forget when Clint said "We're not just here to take part, we're here to take over".

The guy is a York RLFC legend as far as I am concerned. An absolute visionary, and the game needs more folk cut from the same cloth.

Without Clint we wouldn't have been in Super League this season, that's a fact, plus all the players he brought in.

As a club we have come such a long way in a relatively short time, hopefully or upward trajectory will continue.

In my eyes, he should be involved in some capacity with the RFL. He never will be because his face would never fit and that is a massive shame.

I agree, and don't forget Mash he brought in too when he moved Hendo sideways. That hasn't been a bad move either.

[Expatknight]

I hope come awards night that Clint will be there and honoured for what he has done for us along with all the guys who may be moving on to pastures new, we are what we are because of all of them.

Scurr was Bradfords best player. Ran hard.

Cracking player

[Darwin]

A tense 20 minutes and then we ran out comfortably.

2 recognised half backs and McShane going back to hooker kept us calm and the kicking from act in half was superb. I hope we can manage to persuade him to stay another year. 
 

Great to see Vaughan getting the drop goal. He’s going to be such a miss. A massive player that made plenty of yards and had such enthusiasm and energy.

Now the seasons over we can look back and see how well we have done to finish where we are. The futures bright at the club and hopefully more exciting news with signings.
