Seems a bit odd to me but I suppose he won't be expensive.

For what GF Is on, you won’t find much better value for money, even if that’s just the off field stuff, morale, energy etc

Really not sure about this one. He's not been as good on the field this year and I think he'd be better packing in while he's still healthy.

I'm OK with it. He's OK at this level now, but he'll be our third choice Hooker behind Lilley and whoever we replace Segeyaro with.

He'll be cheap plus what he brings off-field is important too. Remember when Appo first arrived in the country without his family, Flanagan was key in helping him settle and integrate.

I have mixed feelings about GFS. On one hand he looks like he is a spent force, he doesn't bring the same energy, doesn't really have the ability to change a game anymore and has been/is a liability of he loses his cool.

On the other, he clearly loves the club and fair play to him as one of only a few that has dropped to the reserves without seemly complaining too much (could anyone see Patton doing this?). Maybe the coach sees his as someone who can play reserves and be an older head to help the younger ones develop?

Either way, I can't see it blowing the budget and as long as he isn't a disruptive influence then I can see why its worth another year.

anyone bleeding blood for our team should stay ... i know he is getting on a bit but just like Lilley, i want players in the team that are passionate

players like this breed passion, just need all of the RAB to buy in ... we arnt top of super league, but seeing players with that passion i really dont mind seeing us lose

Rumours flying around about Appo. He signed a one year deal with the option of a second. Hope we hang onto him as I think he's got plenty of unrealised potential.

So who do we want to see come in next season. A decent end to the season and new coach might just make us a bit more of an attractive place ti come.

Would love an Adam Gledhill or Joel Farrell. Hardend established Champ forwards.
Nathan Mason?
Can we keep Segayaro if not O'Brian?

Backs we need a couple of wingers, utility centre/backrow. Or utility wing/fullback

1st choilce fullback with Homles at 7 and Lilley at 9.
Id be after Matty Marsh.

Lets hear some (realistic) names!

I'd keep the bulk of the squad and add 4-5 quality additions. Be first time in years we wouldn't have whole sale changes.

For me we need a quality FB or Half as Holmes is fine at either. Marsh would be a good shout.

Hooker. O'Brien would be the dream. Depends what happens with him at Hudds, may stay at fax in which case I'd look at Inman also from Fax who looks a fine player.

Couple of props, Mason was great when he was here.

Back-Row.

Hard to come up with realistic names. With no automatic promotion and relegation I'd imagine clubs will spend significantly less on players next year. I think Lawrence, Thompson and Jack Walker would have been laughed at last year when all we had signed were Brad Foster and Ben Blackmore (who I'd give another deal to)

Ioane and Doyle from our dear neighbours. Mitch Clark from Newcastle. Perhaps Alex Foster depending on what happens with Cas.
Maybe also try and get Ruan on a season loan from Leeds.

I would very much like to see James Donaldson back at Bradford. Full credit to him, he has earnt a 12 month contract to stay at Leeds.

Wouldn't mind Taai and Antrobus from York.

I'd be looking at who is going to fill the gaps left by our more senior players like Lawrence, Flanagan, Baitieri and Gaskell over the next few years. We need to look beyond just next season. In the short term we'll need a couple of wingers, a hooker, a prop and a backrower.

Would love to get O'Brien.

I almost said Antrobus on my original post. Absolute quality when fit.

Its much harder to identify quality backs. Seems to be a bit of a shortage
