Same. Good player, exactly the type we need

I know he's had issues with concussion in the past. Hope he makes the right decision for his long term health.

I wasn't personally aware of history there but the London forum was dripping in references to this being on the cards about the time we signed him.

Yes, when my lad was on loan at London last year Lovegrove missed a fair few games later in the season with concussion, when he did play he certainly stood out

That won't help with the signing of a scrum half, we will need another prop if he has to retire! Seriously hope all goes ok for him and he doesn't have to

Well, the article is essentially a distillation of everything you could read on this forum and Bulls Banter FB - with the swearing and ranting filtered out!

I'm not sure why we need another centre - once Purtell, Welham and Blythe are fit we'll have plenty of decent enough centres fighting for the two slots.

Obviously we need a scrum half and full back. In other news, the sky is blue...

The facts are that the RFL won't give the ground back to Green for the reasons mentioned in the T&A today.

No reason at all then? There are no reasons mentioned in the T&A today.

a) they weren't being asked to "give", they refused to "sell";
b) they mention no reasons;
c) they won't sell the lease is one fact. What other "facts" are there?

So is there a point to what you wrote?

Coaches always want two more players......I,m struggling to keep up with who we've got there's been that many comings and goings.

We shouldn't be buying any players until we give the under 19's an extended run in those positions. Joe Lumb and Ethan Ryan are not out of their depth from what Iv seen. We must have others???

Agreed. Dread to think the amount of cap we've used on players Lowes has no intention of using whatsoever.

Being in championship is perfect opportunity to blood a few youngsters and save cap money to get genuine quality in. Could have tried a promising scrum half we had last year...

I suspect the RFL don't want Marc Green making a killing in the pocket from the sale of Odsal to developers.

Peter Hood's decision to sell Odsal has ensured the grounds longevity. Bravo Peter.

Just one small correction required, the hole is actually owned by the council, the RFL and formerly the Bulls just lease it. Only the council could sell Odsal to Marc, and given the even larger financial hole the council has resulting from Gideon's long term economic plan they would want serious coin for it.

According to today's T&A Lovegrove may be back soon. Hope he is, quality player

That read to me like he's going to be out longer. concussions are tricky
