I’d love us to sign Connor Wynne

Someone mentioned Tindall, he has signed for Hull FC next year otherwise he would have been a great shout. With Wallace and Thompson leaving, I would try get Donaldson in, that is just one to throw out there.

Gill, England, Lilley and Matongo I would keep if the contracts are right. I would keep Patten if him and Holmes are in the halves as they seemed to be playing well together but we definitely need a new Fullback next year.

Yes I also would have liked Lawford to have been given a chance. But he's only 19, the game time he's getting at Hunslet will only help him. Hopefully we see him getting a game in the first team this year.

Lawford has looked good in 90% of the games he’s played for Bulls. Deffo deserves it. I’ve heard he is reluctant to sign another deal but his dad is urging him to stay as it will be the best for his development.

I’d personally give him the 7 shirt alongside Patton at 6. Yes he will have the odd bad game. So did Milnes. But he’ll do better for playing.

Matongo for me, depends on his output for the rest of the year. Hopefully he learns a ton playing with Lawrence and Thompson, and tbf Baldwinson (with the way he’s applied himself).

Wynne is an unknown. One good reserve game doesn’t scream sign him. He needs to properly recover. And have a few games in a settled position before we make judgement. I’d argue Turgut is in the same position.

Im biased but it would be absolutely mad for Lawford to leave us. I highly rate him but at this moment in time, would any other champ club sign him to be their main 7 at 19 years old?

I'm frustrated (as I'm sure he is) at lack of game time this season. But he's 19 and there is a proper path way with us.

Thanks guys

Bodine off home after Keighley game.

I guess ots the news we all knew about so it is hardly surprising. I just hope we can find a decent replacement.

I would be looking at a James Donaldson if available. Regardless, it free's up cap space at a very important time for the club.

We have it’s Batieri

Baitieri was announced before we even knew Thompson was contemplating retiring. I don't believe for 1 minute that he is a replacement and I do see the club going in and actually getting a replacement.

Batieri was announced before YOU new Thompson was contemplating retire.
You have no idea when discussions between Thompson and the club started to take place .

Another new signing coming at 5pm.

Taufua from Wakefield

Don't know much about him but watching him on youtube he makes some monster hits. Depends how fit he is.

Think he's struggled at Wakey (let's be honest who hasn't though) be interesting to see how he goes in this division.

Just me who gets incredibly anxious when we make all these mid-season signings?
Bulls fans have been here before, several times, and they always led to disaster...

Two of our highest earners have just left to be fair.

Given our history there will always be a little doubt but we need to have a little faith that we aren’t going bust just because the bar has restocked seabrook crisps!

We have Bulls Squad contributing now as well as likely two high earners leaving which will free up funds.

Gill signed a new 3 year deal?

Really really good retention that

Outstanding news

Wait... someone getting to the end of their contract and not immediately running for the hills??????

I am on the right forum aren't I?

Uncle Nige and crew mustn't be that bad if Gill's hanging about?

Not bad as according to some we’ve no money and he won’t spend what we have got! I’m pretty sure an in demand Gill won’t be that cheap

I knew I remembered that from somewhere

Gill deffo wasn’t Holmes was signed on a 2 year they year after gill signed his
