Your Say Your Bradford

I don't think there is any need for concern. He will be offered a deal and I never really thought it likely he would walk in the meantime. It is obvious he knows what is what and already we have seen progress and that is all the board are looking for right now. − clackett.lane, Bradford

Taylor: I've got the City bug »

We have now got a decent team to support and we need to get fully behind them. There are some strong teams in Super League this year but we will win a good share of games. Realistically, around 6th position would be a step forward this season with maybe a cup run thrown in. I too think that we are laying sound foundations towards being a team that can challenge for honours in the next year or two. We are moving in the right direction so lets give credit where its due. The comeback against Wigan said it all for me. − Will, Huddersfield
