Steve McNamara has got the go-ahead to dip into Stuart Fielden's world-record transfer fee.

Chairman Peter Hood today revealed the head coach can splash the cash if required as the Bulls set about nailing targets for next season.

Bradford have so far only recruited Parramatta loose forward Glenn Morrison and Leeds prop Chris Feather for 2007.

Both are due out of contract, so no fee was involved, but the Bulls may - unusually - need to make bids to secure other signings.

McNamara is desperate to bring Wakefield ace David Solomona to Grattan Stadium and is also interested in his team-mates Semi Tadulala and Jamie Rooney.

All three would see their Wildcats contracts terminated if they get relegated, effectively making them free agents.

Bradford could have consigned Wakefield to the drop and paved the way for a triple swoop had they beaten John Kear's men on Friday night.

But they messed up and lost, meaning Wildcats could still avoid relegation if they defeat demotion rivals Castleford on Saturday.

If they do, then Solomona, Tadulala and Rooney will all remain contracted at Belle Vue and the Bulls must table offers if they are to continue their pursuit.

World-class international second-rower Solomona is top of McNamara's wish list and it is understood the player would still like to move to Odsal regardless.

But the Kiwi won't come cheap, with Wigan having failed in a £200,000 bid earlier this year.

Transfer fees are usually avoided in modern-day rugby league, the Bulls having forked out only once since buying Salford's Nathan McAvoy (£140,000) and Huddersfield's Neil Harmon (£20,000) in 1998.

But, asked if the club would sanction bids for McNamara's targets, Hood responded: "Yes, absolutely. We will do what we need to do in order to recruit the right calibre of individual."

The £450,000 sale of Fielden to Wigan in June did much to boost the coffers at the Bulls, who have suffered financial losses for the last three years.
