Possible another old head in the outside backs but im lead to believe that one its a little further away from being done

[quote="Bully_Boxer"]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.

I thought that was poor from Beattie. He knows damn well we would have had to have offered Myles a new contract to be entititled to the compensation.

What could be loose change to an SL club could be a significant portion of our wage bill. Myles has great potential, I feel he should have had more game time, but he's still completely unproven, he's not been exposed regularly to First team rugby. Granted he's doing very well at Hunslet but playing Cornwall, Skolars and Doncaster is a complete different kettle of fish to playing Fax, Fev, Batley week in week out.

Its not the first dig at the club Beattie has made on his social media since he left. Highly unproffesional and lacking class also. Bit like his and MDs coaching methods by all accounts. At least that was view of numerous players i spoke to in Toulouse anyway.

Disappointed with Leigh. Time to move on now.

Did Walker play on Monday? Bet he's got his chins up now after that win.
