In all fairness he has gone and Stevie was in charge when he left.

Looks like its over. Be interesting to hear what Connor has to write in the t&a about it and if we have recieved anything.

Its all done guys, thank god, Dave Furner just announced it Fox Sports News.



When do you guys start your season in the ESL, is there anywhere on the internet i can watch any of your games, even if its just replays, i'd like to follow how Herbie goes this year, wanted to wish you guys all the best in 2011.

"On injury leave from his English club, Matt Orford was at Brookvale Oval in mid-2010 when the Raiders stole a surprise win over Manly that turned around their season.



Watching on the sidelines, the Dally M-winning halfback decided there and then to turn his back on the Super League and make a return to Australia for good."



And this, boys and girls, is finally the admission of what a lying little toerag that scumbag actually is. There in black and white is the confirmation of what we had all come to realise months ago - that he never had any intention of coming back.



""The first game I went to (when I was in Australia) was Manly-Canberra," the former Sea Eagle said.



"Obviously to sort of catch up with old (Manly teammates), but as soon as I saw that game, I knew straight away what I wanted to do.



"I wanted to come back to the NRL.""





He can go rot, as far as I am concerned.

Is it just me or do those oz press reports seem a bit garbled. They start off saying orford has got a release from bradford and has signed for canberra. Then when they get into detail it changes to he hopes to finalise a release in next couple of days and canberra are hopeful of signing him by end of week. Maybe a little further to go with this sorry saga yet- Although can't see it dragging on more than another day or two now.

Remember, your average ocker struggles with the English language when it gets anything much harder than "you Pommie barsteward"...

Well he has been removed from the Squad List on the Bulls site, but I doubt that we will hear anything official till the paperwork properly is signed and release terms agreed, feeding the press in Oz is just a tactical pressure ploy by madam mimmis.



I have also put a reply on the Canberra Times, but made sure the emotive bit left out

That's not very nice. There are some Canberra fans reading here.

Well, if he shafts you over the way he has done with us, you're more than welcome to come back on here and tell us we're not being very nice. But he deserves all the bad luck that comes his way. Anyway, after yesterday, if he can stay fit and play like that, the annoyance of Orford going is eased beautifully by Herbert.

Whilst I don't particularly wish Orford any personal success, I would love for Canberra to win the NRL next year (and with the Orford signing I think you have a very good chance).



I don't have any problem with the way that Canberra has conducted itself throughout this (at least publicly) but the reason I want them to win is so that you come over here for the WCC challenge.



I'm sure we'd all love to give Orford a warm welcome - even if it's unlikely to be against us.

Mmm. Not our fault they've signed a two-faced toerag though is it? I hope his form turns to sh?t, and he spends the next 2 years on the bench in the Toyota Cup, before being released as surplus to requirements.



And I hope he gets piles.

Look at me. I've got a website! Go on look at it!! please …
