Has anybody heard Ferguson's name mentioned as available? I'd be happily surprised if he is.

I've hardly heard him mentioned all off-season, almost like they were avoiding talking about his back injury.

It would be a welcomed return for me as I rate him and think he could really stand out in the Championship.

Unfortunately, Ferguson is our O'Loughlin. Superb player when on the field, but spends more time in the treatment room than the physio.

It was the pressure from Hall Moon and Ablett - 2 internationals and a top class Aussie.One on one tackling did not seem to pose a problem.
I think this game against a team not expected to feature in the middle 8 is a perfect opportunity for his debut.

That's the problem, one month on when he was supposed to be fit to feature ina friendly, but no word. As I assume if he is now fit he'd certainly feature in the squad, that suggests he's had another setback. Anybody heard anything? If fully fit, he would surely be a stellar addition to any Championship squad, he's not a Championship level player.

Ferguson's still not ready for action apparently, so won't be in the squad this week.

WE'VE something very exciting for you fantastic fans coming later! Stay tuned... #ItAllStartsNow

It's the exact date in June when Ferguson will play.

Mmm, or maybe the new car park deal??

Jeez could you have said anything less mouthwatering than that. It's exciting news about the new type of paper towel being used in the disabled toilet on the left hand side of the coral stand.

It's far from exciting to me, to be honest, seeing as I usually walk to Odsal..

It's just details of the new competition to identify a Bulls fan to referee the return match against Leigh. As with the Leigh guy the competition winner will not need to demonstrate any particular competence or experience.

I'm willing to take a risk here and say that I don't think you are a Bulls fan.

In fact I think you support Leigh Centipedes or whatever

Only been standing on the terraces for 48 years...... not continuously mind. Main claim to fame is I used to eat my lunch in City Hall canteen with the great Terry Price and occasionally he brought Berwyn Jones. So relatively new to things then. I presume you thought my post was mischievous and it probably was, but I'm still seething about the refs contribution to the game.

Riiiiight. Well it's the exciting launch of Bullsapp.

Also excited about the new programme that's free on Sunday and return to Odsal.

Seijka and Williams charged with Grade C striking an offence that carries a ban of 2/3 games.

Also 2 from Leigh charged with grade c offences.
