I see that Sheffield have issued a club statement apologising for the poor performances over the last two weeks. That's nowt. They should try putting up with them for about 8 years. Now that's dedication from us Bulls fans.

Yeah Sheffield are amateurs at this game. Even the apology is well written.

You might cop some flak but at the end of the day none of this is the fans fault, and regardl ss of how much 'banter' goes on most people recognise that. That being said, we will probably all take the p!ss for quite some time.

Did they say "On the other hand we screwed the Bulls over with the Chisolm affair and kept him from playing in 3 games they could have won and got £10k into the bargain"

Yeah how naughty of Sheffield to not let the Bulls walk in and take a player without paying a fee, regardless of whether Sheffield wanted him or not he was still their player and the fact it took so long to sort out you would have to think Sheffield were in the right. Disgusting behaviour by the Eagles

Didn't Sheffield get him for nothing, like many other teams got our players for nothing. We are very good at giving and not taking - but there will come a limit to this.

There must have been some misrepresentation by Chisholm or his agent. Our initial inquiry was based on the fact Chisholm said Sheffield had granted his release. And he also tweeted he had proof of that - whether email or paper idk.
A few weeks later we pay a transfer fee...

We should have backed off straight away, left Sheffield paying a disgruntled players wages for as long as they felt they wanted to.

Strange. Wasn't it you that told us he'd already been sacked by them.

There was no fall out with Aston. Aston had to sack him for what he did

The saying is what goes around comes around and from a Fax point of view Bradford never seemed to have a problem coming in to our area and snapping up our juniors so I can very much see the irony in this post. I must admit I had a smile on my face when I heard we were in for a couple of young lads from Bradford because we can offer a better standard of rugby, a line we got used to the other way round over the years.

Why, what will you do, sign them and dual reg them to Salford?
