SO here we are – the final game of the season and my last appearance for the Bulls.

I should be playing and it will be a good way to end the season and indeed my time at the club.

There has been different things said such as ‘do players who are leaving want to play?’

I don’t know anyone else’s agendas, but I know I want to play and give this club a send-off that it deserves from me personally.

My family and I have loved it here and I’ve made a lot of friends for life during my time at Bradford.

I’ve got a lot of respect for Jimmy, so I want to sign off on a high and we’ve got to beat London, it’s as simple as that.

I think people can get wrapped up in things sometimes and forget that this is Bradford Bulls.

I know the last few years have been pretty tough but we’re a massive club and certainly miles bigger than London.

We need to be going there and blowing them away.

You can beat around the bush and say ‘London have been playing well’ but we’ve got to beat them comfortably.

Individually we are better than all of their players and Jimmy is a very hands-on coach.

He laid down the law after Sunday’s defeat to Widnes and basically said to people ‘if you don’t want to be here, don’t come here next week’.

I understand totally what he was saying. It sounds ruthless but it’s absolutely right.

You can’t have lads who are rocking in during the week and thinking about their own agendas.

You need to come in here and be fully committed because at the end of the day Bradford are still paying us until the end of our contracts, which is the end of November.

Some people may not be bothered about playing this week but I certainly do.

I want to play and I want to perform well on Saturday and bow out on a high after two years here.

Last season was especially enjoyable and playing outside Keith Lulia was a great partnership.

The fans took to me straight away and I’ll always be grateful for their support.

I might be leaving but, as the saying goes, once a Bull, always a Bull.
