From what I can remember there are a few players on one-year deals including Mullaney, Purtell, Henry, Baile, Sidlow, Conroy and Brook, I reckon the signing of Mendeika points to one of those leaving, particular if we need to reduce our overseas and non-fed quota fudge.

Our best strike player last season playing at centre - wouldve won player of season last season had he not done his cruciate away at haven

Has also played 1, 6, 9, 13 for us so versatile though in the centre was his best posistion for us in my opinion

Worked his way back to fitness but has made only 1 appearance this season - at haven in the league 3 weeks ago and had a shocker at full back and got hauled off after 60 mins

Simply cant and not getting in the team at the moment - our chairman has already come out and said he is currently 4th choice full back at this moment in time

Weve certainly not missed him this season

Cant see him in our or your first choice 17 so its a strange move all round for me however the change of scenery plus the guaranteed FT environment may do him some good, plus another off the wage bill for us

Dont expect any pots broken initially probably though will probably get a hattrick on 1st July

I vaguely remember him at an academy game 3yrs or so ago, I think he played 6 for Wire. Looked very good then. I think he was the one that Ainscough broke his arm in a tackle at that match. Jimmy obviously remembers him from his Warrington days.

Either Mullaney's injury is worse than reported. Or Mullaney is going to play rest of season in the halves with Gaskell and this basically spells the end of Siejka's Bradford career (at least for this season)

Addy showed he can kick goals, so one of Shaws reasons for being in the team is removed. Lots of possibilities.

Ferres stated in the T&A yesterday that some players will be leaving which is normal.
I would keep Shaw but I don't see him as a solid fullback.
This new lad does look decent - although only in 8 mins of video - but we will all now be looking forward to seeing him play.
Maybe he is a replacement for Mullaney at FB who MAY take over from Gaskell at SO next year with Seika and possibly Sammut as our three halves.

Mendeika-Siejka.
Any taker?
Hope at least one
Is a decent laiker

Had a quick look on the Leigh board earlier, has I sometimes do for a bit of a laugh and found they have a thread asking who they want in the next round of the cup. I'm no fan of Wakie and wouldn't mind seeing them relegated, hopefully to change places with us, but I would love it if they rain on Leigh's parade on Sunday

Oh, I hope Leigh beat Wakey. Not because I dislike Wakey, but because it means our main rival in the league has to play at least 160 minutes more rugby than Bradford this year.

Not sure whether keeping Wakey engaged in the cup wouldn't pay a bigger dividend. A draw with several replays would have been ideal. It's a great opportunity for everyone else to study both teams. It could also have a great bearing at a psychological level.... For either team. If Leigh can beat Wakey then we would definitely have to be thinking we could do it. Hopefully they could go on and draw Widnes or Hull as I'd be thinking they could be middle eight contenders.

I'm hoping for a Leigh win.

Wakey are struggling for form and finance. Anything which helps them find either is unhelpful.

Leigh are a little bit 'high on their own supply' at the moment. Anything which inflates them further like a close fought win at Wakey and a draw against Sts or Wigan will take its toll as the season wears on.

Back on topic it's hard to avoid the fact we've 30+ players and no scrum half.

Problem is available scrum halves are a little thin on the ground mid season. We can only sign what's out there. Suspect we've done next best thing and signed a player who's a better fullback than any of our backup fullbacks to allow mulllaney to move into scrum half role. A role in which he looked pretty good in his brief stint early in season. Plus we'll have sjeika and brook giving some competition for role too in next month or two.

Have you seen the wakey squad for tomorrow's game? If they lose then Webster needs to walk, there will be no excuses for him this time.

It is amusing though M@islebugs a scrum half at 15st 9lbs

I am hoping for a Leigh win as a neutral and as has already been said they smash each other to bits

i hope Leigh win, but i am sure there will be some handbags flying around if it is close

I know ... Light blue touch paper and stand well back !!

If it is close then surely Wakey will know what to expect from Leigh and not respond in kind.
