thats what i thought, obviously walker isnt aware of this, who knows. At least it seems done and dusted, will not be 100% sure until I see him at training in bulls gear and in the number 7 shirt.

speaking of which when are squad numbers announced.

Didn't I hear they were looking at doing a Squad Presentation evening again this year? Although then I heard there were no events planned, so maybe not....

If they're not doing it at a proper evening, I would expect they'll come out around the time the shirts get in stock, to try to capitalise on shirt printing sales.

It would make sense for the club to have a squad presentation evening this year. Given the new players, the club needs to create a buzz around Odsal. Maybe do it as free admission for season ticket holders and £5 for everyone else? That way you'd make a bit of cash off it and you might knock a few floaters off the fence and get them to buy a season ticket.
Plus, have the bar open a bit longer than they have at the fans forum (something else that the club should get organised before the start of the new season, head off the bad feeling of last year's let down with our new players etc etc etc)

As we all know, that only means that the RFL will allow Orford's registration.

The legalities may well continue but it does look unlikely.

Would imagine very soon, think they will go like this myself:

1. Halley
2. Sheriffe
3. Sykes
4. Nero
5. Reardon
6. Kearney
7. Orford
8. Scruton
9. Godwin
10. Lynch
11. Menzies
12. Hall
13. Langley

14. L'Estrange
15. Sculthorpe
16. Worrincy
17. Kopzcak

18. Platt
19. Whitehead
20. Donaldson
22. Crossley
23. Crookes
24. Hyde
25. Olbison
26. Straugheir
27. Tate
28. T Burgess
29. G Burgess


I would really like to see Sheriffe and Reardon swapping those shirts but i've put it down 1-13 how I think Macca will choose then the rest what i'm thinking will probably happen.

Walkers latest "Tweets" include:

His answer to the question " any news on where ur playing next yr " was:

"don't know, still up in the air, hopefully by the end of the week.... "

Followed by:

"big day getting my business affairs in order, brother is happy with how its all going, we are still on the same path, heading forward"

His answer to the first one leads me to believe that he may have something lined up now if we don't have to sign him.

Both Celtic and Catalans have been mentioned in passing in various news reports.

I'd prefer:


1. Halley
2. Sheriffe
3. Sykes
4. Nero
5. Reardon
6. Kearney
7. Orford
8. Scruton
9. Godwin
10. Lynch
11. Menzies
12. Hall
13. Langley

14. L'Estrange
15. Sculthorpe
16. Worrincy
17. Kopzcak

18. Platt
19. Whitehead
20. Donaldson
22. Crossley
23. Crookes
24. Hyde
25. Olbison
26. Straugheir
27. Tate
28. G Burgess
29. T Burgess

"i hate the time difference with the UK, sorting out the contract thing with Bulls, they are kidding............."

reading between lines sounds like we're negotiating a settlement and he'll be aannounced for catalans once its all finalised.
