I'm amazed he's stuck it out this long under a coach who clearly has no faith in him, if I were him I'd have sacked it off as soon as it became clear Nathan McAvoy was considered a better option.

To be fair to Halley he really tried to compete in the hair stakes as well.

If i were Kear i would sign him permanantly, but only on a free. No way would i contemplate swapping anyone as we are short on numbers. The lad Halley is out of contract at the end of the season i think, so cant see much money being exchanged. Just Wakey taking over his contract with the opportunity of first team Rugby.

Maybe he's hoping Maca will be gone before his contract is up.

As Halley himself admitted a few weeks back, he has fallen short of the standards set during pre-season. I reckon this is the real reason he's not getting a break; he's lacking in commitment. That said, I would have him at FB over Platt. And you just know that if he does sign for Wakefield he'll be on the score sheet a few times when we play 'em.

Confirmed on SportingLife that he's extended the loan for another month. Bulls have also put a 48-hr recall clause in there.

that would seem to suit both clubs down to the ground tbh. If we get an injury then we can get him back at short notice and he's getting gametime which he needs to improve further. Be interesting to see if he gets starts when wakey start getting players back, petersen in particular.

TBH, I doubt he would be alone if he were thinking that.

Tbh I would love to swap Halley for Atkins as somebody said, but I really can't see it happening.

It was me, never say never eh! Ryan is a Bradford lad after all and was denied his chance by old 'Nobby' who has now gone so who knows

If I see him in Pudsey on Saturday night I'll start tapping him up
