Mick Potter has recruited the players he wants but where will he play them and what style of play will he use.
Some welcomed help in the front row with Hargreaves and the fire of Elima behind but what will be his forward's game plan?
Sibbett adds bulk but how best will Potter use him? And what about Worrincey, can he be effective and how and where.?
What roll willl Hall have in his plans? and can he get Langley up to his full potential.
Will Le'Strange and Godwin continue to rotate as hookers and if so under what cicumstances, and what role will Diskin take?

Raynor, Ainscough, on the wings need supply of ball from inside. Are Walker and Sykes up to the job? Can Crooks come of age?
Where should Potter play Ah Van.
Marc Herbert at 7? or Diskin? with Southernwood as understudy?
And where to play Kearney, Full back or stand off. Awesome at both.

Throw in Addy, Whitehead, Donalaldson, Royston, Finnigan into the mix
Will be interesting to see the style of play Potter decides to use next year

Red Amber and Black Fantasy Rugby League Champion 2012. By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013 Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know: Mystic Eddie has been right all along! - copyright vbfg 05.01.2017:Others/combustable.gif

In an injury crisis and in the opening rounds of the CC against lower league sides.

Quote: bobsmyuncle "And what about Worrincey, can he be effective and how and where.?'"


He can't be effective anywhere - he's p!sh. I concede he may be a top notch programme seller - lets give him a try.

Quote: bobsmyuncle "What roll willl Hall have in his plans?'"


Hopefully a more effective one than McNamara had him playing.

Quote: bobsmyuncle "Will Le'Strange and Godwin continue to rotate as hookers and if so under what cicumstances, and what role will Diskin take?'"


No. Diskin will start, Le'Strange will be an impact hooker from the bench. Godwin will hopefully be lining up for York City Knights or someone similar.

As for the rest. Ah Van and Walker at centre for me, can Crookes actually stay fit? Kearney at FB but if we cannot get the right man in then he will go in the halves with either Platt, Sykes or Royston at FB IMO.

I'm surprised he's still here but lets give the lad a chance this season before bagging him already. With an off season with a new coach lets hope some of his faults can be rectified.

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid! If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/ Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get! Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!:13554.jpg



All Mick Potter has to do, is apply the KISS principle to Worrincy, Maccas idea of all players being able to operate in several different positions caused him problems, he wasn't the only but seemed the worst affected by it through the season. LSH can take a lot of the blame for not rectifying it. Hopefully Potter will make it clear he (LSH) needs to talk to players when things are going wrong with them. It was partly due to him being on his own so to speak, but with another Assistant Coach in place there should better communication to sort out players and on the field issues

Where on earth has that random assessment come from and why do you assume there are on field comm' problems?

Personally I think he's bottom right. A kitten.

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg



This criticism of Worrincy is uncalled for. I'm backing him to have a good season. He's a good natural athlete and has potential if coached right, I think Potter might be able to get the best out of him.

Precisely how often have you seen him play? What has he done to validate your view?

Alternatively, your criticism of the criticism of Worrincy is uncalled for.

That's headhunters view, you don't have to question everything.

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg



It is going to be an interesting season.

Especially when you look at the squad so far as it looks to me that we should have the players to actually have two XIII's. I'd imagine that Potter has a fair idea of who goes in the A team and who'll be in the B team. But as I don't think he's actually physically joined the club yet there's still plenty of time for all players to step up and claim a spot.

Looking forward to 2011

Nor does anyone on here. Bit like you questioning someone else's view of someone else. Forums are clever like that.

Quote: Roofaldo "we should have the players to actually have two XIII's'"


With plenty of players to spare, only in the halves do we struggle and I've had to put Kearney and Godwin there out of position in these example teams (and fingers crossed we've got more of them to come).
