Former Bulls Star For England

Brett Ferres put in another really good performance in England's bad tampered Fed Shield win over Tonga today, which left some Bulls fans with a bitter taste in the mouth, especially with the sight of Ryan Atkins play for his country again, when deemed not even good enough to pip Ben Harris 6 months ago.
It left me to think, just what do the club hope its youth policy will do in the long run? Strengthen other clubs?
When you add up the numbers, and see Stuart Reardon and Chris Bridge at Warrington, Leon Pryce at St.Helens, and Ferres and Cook at Wakey, it really does beggar belief. Not to mention Fielden and Peacock at respective Super League rivals.
Granted, the David Solomona signing is a big one for the club, and he's a top player, there's no doubting that. But I find it hard to concur that the club are 'giving' the best young prospects around to other clubs in exchange for another player.

One must feel a total cash deal would have been the far better option the more and more you look at it.
