It only took John Kear 1 minute 08 seconds before he said 'cut your cloth accordingly'. He is obviously a fast learner!



Thanks Mick, these are great.

These are giving me a curiously alien feel good vibe so I've turned it into a sticky.

Good work.

Great interviews. Is this an official club release?

They are on the Bradford Bulls soundcloud account, so I would say yes mate.

Mick, I assume either yourself or the club have given permission for the T&A to "lift" these interviews and pass them off as their own stories? Notice they've been doing it for a long time and I must miss the credit, so they must have obtained permission?

If I remember rightly, the bulls supplied the T&A with fully written articles back at the start of superleague. Peter Deakin apparently stated that journalists are generally lazy and will print pretty much anything they are given. It’s a brilliant way to control the stories and get favourable representation.

Simon Parker does phone up and will ask permission to use them for the T&A.



On other occasions they just randomly appear in the paper with no credit given to the source.



What's even more ridiculous is that once in the T&A the likes of League Express and League Weekly then use the T&A interview, which is basically mine. Crazy times.



Anyway, here's to a successful 2018 for John Kear and the Bradford Bulls.

Hi Mick,



Not being antagonistic here, I'm genuinely confused and hoping you can clear it up.



You mentioned that these are interviews coming out of the club now rather than just you as freelancing (or words to that effect). Also that your commentary with John Keyes is also official club commentary now.



That being the case, how come the club never seems to mention it? I've just seen their Twitter mention the coverage on BCB, but not the official club coverage, which seems odd? I don't think I've seen them retweet any of your interviews either, although I may be wrong with that. I know the lad in charge of the club's media is a bit of a lemon, but surely they could be plugging these more?

I'm tending to believe Mick. I was in the Legends Suite for the match on Sunday, and they were showing the game 'live' (delay of about a minute) on all the TVs, complete with Micks commentary.

They should be getting plugged from this weekend.

Good stuff. If you're gonna put the work in, least they can do is publicise it!

It certainly helps from a sponsor perspective.

How did the Bulls TV/Bulls Live stream come across mate?



Would you watch League One games based on that quality, if you couldn't make the game?



I know the Sheffield Eagles directors all sat inside for the second half and watched the stream.
