Given he looked quite good for us while on loan, and we now have an opening in the forwards, I wonder if Danny Bridge might be worth a punt to shore up the numbers?

He was one of a number of players released by Warrington a few weeks back.

He's decent enough, but do we need another second row forward?

Epalahame Lauaki needs adding.

added to post and to image, do a refresh of the page on your browser to update it as I have kept the same URL for the updated image. if anyone can advise on stopping it from shrinking that would be useful. The only thing I can think is theres a maximum size otherwise it cuts it down, anybody help???

might just need to change the spelling of his name!!!

just noticed that the first team squad is on the Bulls website, with stats, and the one that I was most anticipating: Tahraoui. In September the news item said he was 122kg, and now, as I expected, he is down - to 115kg or 18 stone. That is 7kg, or nearly a whole stone less in weight to move around the pitch, = more biffs a game. Given that muscle weighs more than fat the implication of his exercise regime is that it has been stamina oriented rather than muscle bulk. Less weight means faster to maximum speed too. With the likes of Harrison Clough and Sidlow imparting their experience to him and the other younger props, its going to be interesting to see how they develop.

Fleming on the other hand has gone up to 111kg, up 5. So Davies is the lightest prop at 105, Clough 106 (up 5), Sidlow 109, Lauaki and Fleming 111kg, and Tahraoui at 115. Added up that's at least four times more beef than last seasons props!

Sam Bates is now described as a utility forward rather than prop.

I will update the table to the values shown on the Official website some point in the not too distant future.

Samir isn't the lightest on his feet so I think the weight loss my help his agility and footwork.

I'm more worried by the moustaches on some of the profile pictures. Next club sponsor needs to be Gillette.

updated for squad numbers

Watched the 2003 grand final on Sky last night, I hadent appreciated at the time just what a fantastic team/squad Bradford had. Head and shoulders above anything currently in SL.

Probably our best ever side that year.
