Why was he in Bradford's squad to face Harlequins then?
The Bulls have named their 19-man squad for Sunday's Super League opener at Harlequins.

They are: Michael Platt, Rikki Sheriffe, Paul Sykes, Chris Nero, Semi Tadulala, Ben Jeffries, Paul Deacon, Sam Burgess, Terry Newton, Nick Scruton, Glenn Morrison, Steve Menzies, Jamie Langley, Wayne Godwin, Craig Kopczak, Matt Cook, David Solomona, Mike Worrincy, Jason Crookes.

Surely if there is an impending move (with a more than likely transfer) why would the Bulls risk playing Solomona?

This "reliable source" isn't the same person that claimed the signing of Ryan McGoldrick was a "done deal" too :wink: :roll:

He is not same source re: McGoldrick as I have said nothing about McGoldrick have I? Solomona is a Bradford player til he is bought - but I am sure the release is subject to Bird getting permission to play in the UK - which is not likely with the amount of visas declined this season for lesser criminal activities......as Bradford would be over the salary cap to keep Solomona - but there are a few things determining this move but all I was saying is that Solomona is making plans for his season at Wigan - but if Bird is refused a visa then I can see Bradford keeping him in contract

So this "move" is more dependant on a player getting a visa than Wigan actually making a move for the aformentioned player? You sure you are not just making this up?

Never said you had mentioned Bird did I? Just that some posters on here quote (like you are) "good sources" from within the club - yet they are often about as reliable as chocolate fireguard!

My source is not from within the club but he is someone that is good friends with most/all the team through business, he is always getting freebies from players and also gets info such as who is coming/going etc and the players must have therefore mentioned to my source this news
