GH's record of overseas signings has been very mixed. On the plus side there's the likes of Luati'iti, Leuluai, Webb and (eventually) Buderus. On the downside you could have the likes of Cross, Eastwood, Hauraki, Millard and Mark O'Neill. The common thread across our recent failures, Eastwood apart, has been paying peanuts and signing monkeys.

What about Scott Donald, David Furner, Mark Granville etc. Any idea whether it's Mini or Williams? |

Millard and Hauraki although overseas players were signed having impressed for SL clubs and in this context should count as domestic signings. At the very least if you're bagging GH for them you should also give credit for Poching and Dunemann who came to Leeds in similar circumstances. |

Hauraki still has the ability to turn into a successful signing...depends if he can find some consistency.
Is it really fair to class Millard as a poor signing - he was a short time signing filling a gap after Dunneman left and Diskin got injured IIRC. I thought he did a reasonable if unspectacular job. |

Not true.

Teachers salaries in the UK are amongst the best in Europe and have rose significantly during Labour's time in office. In fact I'd say that has actually compounded the problem. Teaching used to be a vocation for many highly talented academics but the attractive salaries for extremely average graduates (of which there are huge numbers these days) has seen an influx of dip$h!ts into the teaching profession - particularly in the infant and junior schools. Remember this on C4's Dispatches?

The teachers at our comp are on a different planet, they are recruited on performance and has a head who doesn't accept second best and it shows. Our comp is one of the best in the country. |

Wonder how Eastwood woould have gone if he hadn't had problems with his visa? That year at the Bulldogs was the problem. That said, he didn't come across as a guy who was interested in playing here - just making some cash. He could quite possibly have given it the "homesick" routine after his first season anyway.
Hauraki still has to show anything, Millard and O'Neill were cheap and nasty, Cross was rubbish. Having said that, Cross proved he was rubbish and then Wigan signed him! However poor we might seem I'd be interested in looking how well other clubs have really done with overseas signings in comparisson. |

Me too. Can't ever remember thinking he was a poor signing. |

Has there been any movement in Bradford selling players and should we be interested?

He was dire.
Was solid as a rock for Widnes and Broncos but simply didn't produce the goods for us. I imagine he was brought it for his old-head, he was around 30 when we signed him. One to forget. I try to. |
