Pasted from other thread:

Kearney
Kear
Blythe
Henry
Foster
Sammut/Gaskell
Gale
Scruton
Heath
Nas
Bateman
Ferguson
Addy

Diskin
Carvell
Sidlow
Winterstein

This leaves one of Sammut or Gaskell knocking on the door along with Purtell, George, Olbison, Donaldson, Walker, Evans, Roberts, Wood, Mellor, O' Brien and Conroy.

I never even thought about Matty Blythe

Think the squad is looking pretty decent

Assuming everybody was fit (which is unlikely to happen I admit) I would go with:

Kearney
Kear
Purtell
Gaskell
Foster (gk)
Sammutt
Gale
Scruton
L'Estrange
Manuokofoa
Ferguson
Bateman
Addy

Interchange: Carvell, Sidlow, Diskin, Blythe.

Harsh on some to miss out but that would give us plenty of options for reshuffles either due to injury or lack of form. For the tougher games I would put Evans or Winterstein in for Gaskell and Blythe or Henry into the centres but that is just me.

I still shudder at the thought of Gaskell in the centre. While to me he's very reminiscent of Leon in the way he moves and plays, I fear his defence won't be up to scratch out wide.

I'd happily play him there in a friendly to see it for myself, but defending close to our line with Sammut, him and Foster out on an edge gives me the heebie-jeebies.

At the moment from who's nailed on and in the form I believe they can play, I'd pick;

Kearney
Foster (George)
Henry (George)
Blythe
Kear
Gaskell
Sammut
Scruton
L'Estrange
Carvell
Ferguson
Bateman
Donaldson

Diskin (O'Brien)
Winterstein (hmmm)
Sidlow
Manuokafoa

For me the top 3 to 'improve' (for want of a better word) are Diskin, Purtell and Olbison. Add that extra few percent and there pushing behind the team. My back-up of George is purely on when he's good! (back in 2012)

A few changes means to the above means we do lack a goal kicker though.

Do you know if Evans is definitely with you next year ? I have not seen anything on the Wolves website, nor heard anything on the grapevine.

Quote: Winslade's Offload "Do you know if Evans is definitely with you next year ? I have not seen anything on the Wolves website, nor heard anything on the grapevine.'"

It's been in the local paper quite a bit; when the story has been about Evans himself and when the story is about Cummins and his plans and prep for the off-season.

The Bulls reporter in the T&A usually doesn't deal in wild speculation and often talks of the on-going negotiations between the clubs.

I'd expect it to go ahead anyway.

Kearney
George
Henry
Blythe
Kear
Sammut/Gaskell depending on opposition
Gale

Scruton
Diskin
Sidlow
Ferguson
Winterstein
Donaldson

subs
Carvell
Nas
L'Estrange
Bateman (tho in the early part of season Addy may be in better form)

Donaldson Sidlow Diskin start for tackle quality, exchanges are for go forward. one caveat: Henry defence unknown so could be an open door paired with George, tho Wintersteins defence looks better than Whiteheads. At least we have a choice in all positions!

This story from October 4 edition of Bradford's Telegraph & Argus (local paper, the T&A) is the most overt reference to date of Evans staying at the Bulls.

Thanks again, and good luck with 2014. Looks as though the club is on a steady upward curve, even though you have been robbed of half the SL cash.
