Anyone hear some of the Stains fans cheering when he got injured? Absolutely no need for that, even Eddie wasn't happy with it, mentioned it a couple of times. It's never something to cheer about when a player gets injured, no matter who they are.

Exactly the idiots, How was there reaction when Westerman was injured last week?...
“If I can play until the end of the season and get the op, then that’s fine by me. I’ve got to think about next year though.
“I’m not sure where I’ll be playing and whether I’ll be ready to play. I do have a family and I don’t just want to carry on for the sake of getting some game time, especially if it’s going to be detrimental to me and the side.
“It’s potentially the first time where I’ll have been out of contract and injured.
“We’re not too sure about the extent of the damage yet though and we’ll have to see what the specialist says regarding surgery or rehab. I should know by Thursday.”

I feel for the lad here, He has been unlucky with injury this season as you have all mentioned and its unfortunate its happened so near to him being out of contract, but playing devils advocat and disegarding his personal circumstances it may prove to be somewhat of a blessing for the club.
For me the Bulls haven't got their moneys worth out of Solomona, we all know he can play and in the past couple of games he's done well (Anyone would think he needs a new contract ) but the amount of games he plays is becoming more and more limited, unlike his salary which is reportedly the biggest outlayed by the Bulls (Considering Deacons is susidised by £50k from the RFL; testimonial and all) For me I wouldn't offer the lad another contract. He's not getting any younger, he's noticably doesn't appear the "fittest" at the club (I love Frey bentos myself so I have alot of Sympathy) and he is becomming injury prone. Could it be time for Bulls to cut their losses and try and sell him?? If they could sell him now, they could possibly aquire a transfer feel aswell as freeing up cap space; im sure there might be some bidders for his services. then again he could get over this injury, hit the form of his life and all deserve a new contract. I just can't see that happening though and I think if I was Bradford I may try offload Solomona now, so I have money spare to ensure that the like of Menzies can stay. I think getting rid of Tupou, as much as it was bad press and came across to some as disloyalty from the club, was a shrewd bit of business and has proven that Bradford want to get their finances sorted and want the best for their squad and team.......I wonder if selling Solomona would be shrewd business and the best for their sqaud and the Bulls???
Nobody is going to buy a player who's potentially injured for the rest of the season when his contract is up at the end.
If he definitely isn't going to play again this season I'd look to come to a deal to release him now to try and free some cap space. If he needs rehabilitation to get right then I'd give him that time as when fit and on form he adds something we don't get from other players.
A new contract should only be considered if he can show he's worth it and that means playing.
