Is there any recall option on these players? That’s a brave move if not.

Makes sense then - these lads are unlikely to get game time at the beginning of the season.

Some more players due out at Fev?

Previous history with Bradford aside, i'd like to see them back in SL. One of the few Championship clubs with potential to grow.

Maybe mate. I'm trying to think of how many players who played in the great Bulls sides were even from Bradford though. A fair few (English players) were from Leeds or Halifax I think? Paul Newlove was from Fev, Fielden from Halifax, Peacock and Lowes from Leeds... most of the other champion players were overseas imports.

The club overspent to get success, got in a world of trouble and failed to really connect with local youth development for me. Not saying that would be the same again of course.

Their fan base wasn't amazing unless they were spanking everyone either IMO.

Definitely has potential based on population and history, but a club doesn't add value if it's not developing it's own local juniors IMO as a core competence.
