With Carney signed at Salford they might have a halfback going spare?

O' Brien or Lui would do very nicely indeed! Won't happen though.

Quote from Ian Watson



Wait - wasn't he all set to play for us if Lamb got the club?

The phrase 'bull merchant' comes to mind...

Well spotted Paul.

Richard Lamb talks b0llocks. In other news, sun confirmed as hot.

I'm as sure as the next man that Lamb is full of it. But wasnt the terminology he used for all the RFL knew we could have had Todd Carney ready to sign? That was how I read it anyway as he was talking about a lack of interest from the RFL in his plans for the club

Keyes has tweeted #Bulls17 with a picture of him playing last season. Read into it what you will but it sounds like he is one of the players who have signed. At least we have an halfback pairing!!

And a goal kicker (in case we ever get near enough the opposition line to need one)

seems odd to say 26 signed but not release names. surely they've got to announce at least 17 names today or isnt it required to release squadlist for friendlies?. I'm guessing from ross's comments about 10 new signings that its actually pryce,mendieka + 10 first teamers plus whatevers left of u19s making up the 26. Seems safe to assume leigh beattie has been retained if he's in charge for sunday. Was anything said about john bastian? imo most important signing we could make after Toovey.

Bastian still with us I believe. Leigh Beattie too.

Class.

Anybody know if wr have managed to keep the academy lads together?

Surprising this didn't get a mention in the Press Conference

Well, I've pulled back the original 2017 Squad post and out of those who've not been officially announced as leaving we are left with:

Omari Caro (Winger) 2017
Ethan Ryan (Winger / Centre) 2018
Leon Pryce (Stand Off) 2017 - New Signing
Phil Joseph (Prop / Loose Forward) 2018 - New Signing
Joe Lumb (Hooker) 2019
Jon Magrin (Prop) 2018 - New Signing
Alex Foster (Centre / Second Row) 2018 - New Signing
Joe Keyes (Scrum Half) 2018
Iliess Macani (Winger) 2018 - New Signing
Ross Peltier (Prop) 2018 - New Signing
Vila Halafihi (Hooker) 2017
Johnny Campbell (Fullback / Winger) 2017
James Mendeika (Utility Back) 2017
Oscar Thomas (Stand Off / Fullback) 2017
Ross Oakes (Centre) 2017
James Bentley (Second Row / Loose Forward) 2017
Liam Kirk (Prop) 2017
Brandon Pickersgill (Fullback / Stand Off) 2017
Josh Rickett (Winger) 2017
Brandan Wilkinson (Second Row / Prop) 2017

So that leaves us with 20 players. As the club announced that we've got 26 players, that leaves at least 6 new players to be named not including replacements for any of that list who haven't signed and are being replaced

3 props! I hope there is another couple to be announced sometime soon.

there's 5 on that list unless I'm missing something. joseph, peltier, magrin, kirk and wilkinson.
