The club are looking at one of the best young players in British RL, and all people can talk about is the rat's tail? What next - will people be telling him to 'get a Turkish'?

I'm happy to see the club aggressively pursue the best youngsters in the game. People say we don't need him but nobody knows what Smith's play for him is. We apparently didn't need Ratchford with Myler and Briers settled, but we still got him and now he's a heartthrob for the Willis street massivo.

i've not seen anything so far this year from him thats made me jump up and say, oh yeah. It could be the way he's being played but at the moment, i'm not seeing anything worth XXXk amount.

I see a quality young British player who looks the part each week in a very ordinary Bradford side

If we can fit him in then bring him in
