Take Adam Henry!!'"
Are you serious ??
I for one think Henry has played very well this season since cementing his starting spot !!
Unluckily Baile did pick up an injury but wouldnt say he is bad enough to go,
Ulugia i feel sorry for as the lad has pace to burn and runs hard, just makes bad decisions and sometimes struggles to catch the ball,
As someone put Shaw is a great goal kicker and supports well but thats about it for me,
Walker should probably retire
Sjieka "no comment"
Luaki for me is not getting enough game time - maybe worth a stint at oxford and bring back Davies
Tahaouri was playing well i thought god knows why he isnt playing.

First up, not I wasn't being serious, despite still having elements of rocks and diamonds Adam Henry has improved, I'm just carrying on my joking from last year when Adam Henry's pants defensive did my head in!
I wouldn't write off Shaw just yet, he's still only young like some of the other backs, and we don't use the plays that link in the fullback so he's had limited chances on that front. Yes his dropped bombs are annoying, but all young kids do it, Hampshire and Escare for example.
As I've made known for a while I rate Baile in a much needed defensive centre role so I defo wouldn't get rid I just think someone probably will make way for Mendieka and JPB seems logical - Catalan down on backs and a homegrown player for them.
The outside back I feel sorry for is Danny Williams, he seems to be consistent but forever the in and out man.
While I'm musing and while you mentioned Chev Walker, one player I think would replace him and more would be Richard Whiting.

Could be right there - we could use a few more forwards

That's about what I said to my lad on the way back from Whitehaven - not a bad position to be in

| Reading the report from Jimmy and Steve today in the T&A I read it as saying they are starting to sign players for next year. Maybe nobody is leaving and nobody is coming in just yet. They are just starting to prepare for next year which actually starts with pre-season training in just 6 months.
I would keep Shaw and Henry as young players with good potential. I am surprised I never seem to read about people saying Mullaney is the new Ferguson as he seems to be injured a lot of time with his leg muscle. If he comes back in a few weeks time and does it again it would effectively be all season he has missed when it is 5-7 weeks at a time. It doesn't surprise me if we are looking for another fullback as we have played this season without one.

Could be, but it would be a bit of a departure to make a big announcement about next year half way through the current season. Most clubs, including us, generally stick to making next season's announcements after the current season is done and dusted, for no other reason than it probably helps keep the player's mind on his current job - unless there has been 'blabbiing' behind the scenes and the story has been 'blown', of course, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

| From BULLS TV:
"
BRADFORD Bulls are delighted to this evening announce the signing of rising international star James Mendeika.
The 23-year-old utility talent has agreed a deal which will keep him at the Provident Stadium, Odsal, until at least the end of the 2017 season.
Mendeika, a former Warrington Wolves Academy player, arrives with immediate effect from the Bradford’s Kingstone Press Championship rivals, Featherstone Rovers, having previously enjoyed spells with Leigh Centurions, Swinton Lions and London Broncos.
He played a key role in Ireland’s 2013 World Cup campaign, lining up at full-back and stand-off in games against England, Australia and Fiji, though the Manchester-born player has also featured at centre and on the wing.
Hear from the Bulls' newest recruit by pressing 'PLAY'!"

| Suspect this signals either mullaney moving into halves or his injury being longish term. Jimmy clearly doesn't rate shaw at fb.
