Another one bites the dust. Surely there has to be more to this story? 40K isn't a huge amount of money when you consider the cost of signing SL players (albeit slightly past their best ones).

The frustrating thing is he clearly won't be ready for SL yet so will just get bounced out on loan or dual reg anyway.

He’s out of contract and won’t sign another (apparently). The fee is compo for his age so not like we are cashing in, he is or will be soon out of contract

Supporters will be up in arms if this in the case. If not, supporters need to re-assured that he is not leaving.

Noble along with Greeny has done a decent job so far but his philosophy usually is to sign older more experienced players rather than blooding young talent.

Beattie on twitter reckons he wanted to stay but Bulls want the 40K. Should be fairly easily cleared up with an interview in the local rag!

I mean I'd be surprised if we have a young halfback with half of SL chasing him, deciding that he would rather stay at the Bulls but if that is true.. well it needs explaining to supporters.

Assume the 40k compensation will be used to prop up and pay for the academy for another year.

I’ve heard he’s Wigan bound and only reason he stayed is to finish his apprenticeship before moving fulltime.

I wouldn’t rest too much into what Beattie says speaking to a lad who used to be in the reserves reckons Beattie and dunning were a big part of the culture problem at bulls and were extremely unapproachable

Regarding the compo, I believe the rules are, you only get the compo if you offer a contract and the player rejects it
The new club has to pay the compensation. Granted it only has to be £1 more the new contract.

So I don't think there's any great conspiracy, we're probably offered him new improved deal, some SL clubs think he's worth a punt on a FT deal.

Let's be honest if an SL club offers him a FT deal, it's very hard for us to compete with that, as disappointing as it is.

Absolutely spot on Bull Mania. Couldnt have worded it any better my self.

The way people are reacting and talk of suporter unrest is just laughable. I was beginning to think it was just me that actually understands whats going on here.

The way its been reported (yes im talking about you Mr Game Caller) and by peoples reactions you would think we have just gone and booted the lad out of the club for no reason in order to make a few quid.

Some of the comments above are pathetic.

There was comment from Leigh Beattie that Myles wished to remain at the club and an insinuation that Bradford were more interested in the 40K. Now I find it unlikely that Myles would turn down a SL offer to remain at Bradford but I’m sure it can be easily cleared up by the player or club once any decision is made.

It does appear that this is the new business model for funding the academy, which is partly why I cancelled my BullBuilder monthly contributions despite paying in from day 1 and assisting on the board for a short time. I can accept players having a breakthrough season or two with us and then moving on but when they’re leaving before they even make an impression on the 1st team.. well I’m struggling to find enthusiasm to back that.
