Its on the bulls website a day early too. Bet someone has put it on tonight so they dont have to be in early in the morning.

You're a proper conspiracy theorist you are Matthew.



Biggest coup since Huddersfield stole McNally from under the noses of Bulls and Rhinos.



No seriously though, I thought he looked really promising.

And it looks like he turned us down as Hudders offered a fair bit more money. Fair enough.

Does say that Bulls will be due compensation as per RFL rules, so at least we get some brass for him I suppose. Would still rather have kept him though, but like Mat said, you put a value on someone and if they want more than that, let them go. A good approach to take I would agree.

How come we'll get compo?

It's something to do with being under a certain age and us offering him a contract on at least the same terms. If that's the case and they choose to go elsewhere, you have to be compensated. To avoid clubs just stealing all the best young talent. Same rules in football.



Someone else probably knows specifics, but it's something along those lines.

Hudders certainly like nicking our juniors. However will this one turn out to be a Larne Patrick or an Abdul Khan?

He looked really good from what I saw of him.

I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

A Keal Carlisle.

Was that the Asian kid that was signed and the club made a big announcement about? Because I remember that announcement but don't remember hearing a single thing more about him afterwards. Always wondered what had happened to him.

£100 for every week he's spent at the club based on 48 weeks a season.

wardle signed at beginning of 2008 season Iirc so we should be inline for 11-12k from hudds. not a massive amount but could come in handy to put in the pot if we're looking to pay the odd transfer fee.
