The idea he's the best signing in the Championship is a bit laughable. Hall, Winterstein & Tomkins I would argue are certainly better, others probably debatable. But I suppose it's also about what the squad is looking for. Widnes badly needed a hooker so Tomkins was a superb deal for them. Similarly England is a better signing for Bradford than just being a former SL player because the club are severely lacking experience and grunt in the pack.
Spot on Dilligaf, you can't leave out the context when coming up with "the best" signing. We badly needed a decent prop and we've signed an excellent one. It's top drawer, however you define it.

It's also a further example of how fortunate we were to have attracted Kear. His contacts in the game will be second to none, and it's clear when he picks up the phone the people who know him are very receptive to joining. In a way his positive reputation provides a bit of an antidote to our toxicity.

Not beyond the realms of possibility is it? Contracts are barely worth the paper they're written on these days. Chisholm came back to the Bulls (albeit it took a bit longer than the off season to get him back, and in retrospect it was probably a bad move anyway).
Edit: I'd just like to point out that I have no basis for Peltier's return other than "who might be considered a key player". I'd hate for posters in Bradford Bulls Banter to use this post as evidence that Peltier's return is nailed on when the quality of my information (i.e. none) is as good as Soft Mick's.

That’s a bit harsh on Mick,”, he’s been going to the gym a lot more recently so he might be less soft these days...
Great to have Steve extending with us. Another battle hardened forward to lead us. Injuries will be the real key. If we can keep the best and brightest fit and on the pitch we should land mid table or similar to last season. If injuries bite then it will be a long long season.

It's good news, obviously but doesn't affect this season. Hopefully there will be more new signings or, at the very least, some of the loans/DR deals being agreed before long. We're already in training, so it's becoming more and more important as the days go by.
