| Quote: ex Bull Dog "Does't he play Centre as well though?
Good signing, always looked like a Super League player plying his trade in the lower leagues'"
Yes he can play Centre, he has ahad a couple of goes at Loose forward as well in the past.
if you want the best from him then Play him at Full Back

| If Ah Van is going to be used at centre we'll have Platt, Ah Van, Sykes, Walker, Crookes.
I reckon (from what i've heard) if Kearney is used at 6, that Royston could force his way into being our first choice full-back (but it depends on where Potter does see Ah Van's best position)
One thing is certain, excluding the halves(atm), we'll have competition for places everywhere and that can only be good.

| Quote: mat "dont forget club see Addy as a loose forward long term. Dont really want use to revert to using langley there as I think he's much better in 2nd row. think you could be onto something with royston sharing role with donaldson and addy,'"
So, the pack 'mix' is shaping up like this
Second Row : any two from Langley, Elima and Whitehead, with Donaldson, Hall and Sibbitt as options
Loose : Donaldson, Addy or Royston, with Langley as an option
Props : Scruton and Lynch to start, with any from Hargreaves, Kopczak, Hall as interchange (Sculthorpe unknown quantity?)
Hooker : L'Estrange and Godwin
I think that's looking decent

| I think Potter is definitely putting together a side to make the top 8. We're still some class short of worrying the top 4 or 5 though IMO. I wonder if the next couple of recruits will address this? If we intend spending the full cap, you would hope so.

| Quote: Bulls4Champs2010 "And I once painted my balls blue in art.'" Do you watch the game with your eyes shut, Worrincy's problem is the fact that he is occasionally caught flat-footed in defence, his athleticism has never been in question.

Well, you're in a minority with that assessment of Royston's signing. Most people believe Bradford have got themselves a bargain and that Royston is the arguably the Championship's best back and even that he's the Championship's best player.

Signing the guy who is considered the best player in England outside of Super League?
Amazing how the attitude of folks like you has changed now that you've won the hubcap. Not long ago, people like you were defending your club signing the likes of Jordan James, Danny Hill, Tim Jonkers, Nathan McAvoy & Oliver Wilkes.

| One of the main differences between Championship and SL is SL players train full time, Shad has a rugby brain second to none, his positional play, backing up, defence are all oustanding, you will see a better Shad than we have and hes been our most consistent performer for years. He will do a good job for you and deserves some respect from people that think only aging ex NRL players can do a job for you. Enjoy your Shad he will serve you well and give Potter a chance before shooting everything down in flames.

Well the majority of Bradford fans have welcomed his signing. It's myopic fans of other teams who are bagging him
