Hopefully we'll start to see some promotion from the junior ranks, instead of "buying in" replacements for them all.

The likes of the Tate's, Burgess's etc will hopefully come through so we don't have to sign a whole new team. That's the idea of junior development anyway. We need to be bringing through two per season.

Lynch, maybe Cook and Halley are the only ones that Bradford need to hang on to. Unfortunately the rest will probably be too old or perhaps not up to it (pending appropriate replacements being found).

Too old: Tadulala, Newton, Morrison, Menzies, Solomona
Not good enough (?): Jeffries, ?Solomona, ?James - how long has he been on the edge of the first team?


Wouldn't say Newton was too old, but definitely needs to improve.

Tadulala & Solomona are both 31 so I wouldn't say that's too old considering Menzies and Morrison are two of our best players so far this season.

Bradford Out:

Semi Tadulala
Ben Jeffries
Terry Newton
Andy Lynch
Morrison (Retire)
Menzies(Retire)
Matt Cook
Dave Halley
Matt James
David Solomona


Of that list my priority for resigning, in order would be;
Essential
Lynch
Cook
Morrison
Lynch - so essential it needs mentioning twice :D

If they show contniued/potential form
Halley
Tadulala

Menzies will retire, Solomona can go for mine, the others need to convince me they deserve another deal at the moment. Another good opportunity to recruit in the areas needed.

I'd probably add Newton in there, but yeah, it would need proving. I'd love Menzies to have another season with us but he's already said this is his last one.

For me Morrison would be up there with Lynch. He's been our best player so far and he's the only real leader on the pitch.

Morrison is very important to us I agree, and has done great, on current form like I said I would resign him tomorrow. But as good as he is, we could get many many more years out of Lynch who could easily be a regular contenter for the MOS steel award IMO season aftre season.

Its easy, just resign both. 8)

I geniunely thought that, when we first signed him, Langley would be contending for MoS in a few years. If he had lived up to his potential we could have all 3 MoS's at Bradford.
