Boyles face (god knows why) does not fit with Terry it is plainly obvious for all to see. we are not privy to what goes on behind the scenes or at training but ryan has never been a favourte of Terry's.

as for higgins i have cases for and against him. solid player but really if we are tombecome a force we need bigger stronger skillful props.

boyle may well be a wakey player next year but dont rule out bulls!

think chris has been your best prop this year. said when you signed him "given a chance he will do ok" got a bad injury at bradford, never really got a chance after that. nice guy, hope it keeps going well for him. as for boyle think he's worth keeping and so is higgins.

I've heard one or two rumours about Boyle's off-field antics being the cause of why he doesn't seem to be in favour with TM, but whether that's true or not I have no idea.

It's a shame if so because I think he's a massive prospect for the future.

Well I think hes done a lot of growing up this year to be fair coz you don’t see any of the lads out half as much as last season, I know boyle likes a drink but whenever ive seen him out its always after the game and not before and hes usually with his missus or one of the other lads normally huby, westy or richy owen and you don’t hear stories about their off-field antics so maybe it just is that terry doesn’t like him I hope that’s not the case though and that he gets to stay at the club, I think he could gain a lot of experience from Sarge and Feather and working along side Huby who is only a couple of seasons ahead will give him something to strive for.

I can't imagine TM is dropping players just because he doesn't like them as a person.
If their attitude wasn't right then fine but just because they don't get along would be a bit off.

Blanch, Dyer, Mason

Cant remember any problems with dyer.

i can he was SH!TE

Spoke to some of Ryan Boyles family at the game Saturday he is having meetings with Cas at the min and he wants to stay the lad is cas through and through but he also wants to start getting some first team rugby even if it means going out on loan, but from initial talks it doesn’t seem that TM see’s Boyle in his future plans so at the minute I think he is still waiting to be offered a deal.
After how some of them performed on Saturday I think now is the time that TM gave Boyle a chance

I'd assumed Boyle had 2 broken legs on Saturday, what with Clayton getting in the first 13

One broken leg i'd have given him the nod

I'd keep Boyle at the club over Matterson, who really doesn't deserve a contract extension imo, he's taken the club as far as he can.

That would be a pleasent surprise for me as a Bulls fan. Ive always thought this lad was a really good young prop. I hope it's true.

Why because midway through the second consecutive season in SL we're not pushing for the top 3?
Not sure what you were expecting at the start of the season but to be 8th with over half the season gone is damn good in my opinion. And on top of that doing it with only really one year to build the squad we have.
