Cos if you ain't from Cumbria you are not allowed in McNamara's gang.

So what will our back line next year look like?

FB Kearney
W Walker
C Nero
C Reardon
W Halley

Assuming rumours are true of course. Better or worse?

But I have been to Wakefield and Harlequins several times, as that no longer enough for Macca? He keeps moving the goalposts!

probably slightly better though I wouldnt be surprised to to see following line up.

FB halley
W walker
C nero
C sykes
W reardon

with kearney in halves.

Problem would come with injuries as we only have crookes with any SL experience as backup. despite what you think of platt he did give us cover for a few positions. We desperately need to sign some backs now just cant see where we're going to get them from.

Swap Walker with Reardon for mine, but I'm not too sure about either of those rumours.


I hope Halley keeps the FB spot.

Please not again

So it's confirmed ?

Sykes had an absolute mare defending in the centres last year. I hope he's not going to be paired with Sheriffe again.

Having said that it depends on who comes in.

Reardon keeps being mentioned but I do have my doubts given his serious injury. If he's fit then he's ok and can cover fullback and wing but he's not really a centre.

I expect he'll be on quite a bit less than the £75k a year he was on at Wire.

If Kearney comes in to play stand off are we planning on playing Walker in the centres?

That would be my guess, with lots of "flexibility" between the backs, but again, the Platt story is not confirmed anywhere except the ever realible (?) daily express. (then again Walker, Kesrney and Reardon are not confirmed pubilcally either) It wouldn't surprise me TBH, but I'll await confirmation.

Plenty of room for INS at least....

Anyone else notice the daily T&A Bulls story is not online yet?

I agree with the first, but I never want to see Sykes playing Centre for us again.

If Walker comes I imagine it will be for Centre, or maybe a slight possibility of Wing now that Semi's gone.

Bradford Bulls have posted this on FB:

"Bradford Bulls Ticket Office is reminding supporters who wish to sign up to the 5-months Direct Debit payment scheme to sign up before 30th October. Season Ticket Holders who wish to keep their current seats are also reminded they must renew by 6th November in order to guarantee their seat for the 2010 season."

Sure they'll be a mad dash to sort this out.

I'm doing it by Direct Debit this year.

One positive thing Platt is is fast, not slow, should be a fast news story if its true
