The pattern of signings over the last 10 years (to me, anyway) is that we look at all the players who played really well against us, then sign as many of them as we can, even if they’ve been gash in all the other games they’d played in. Blackmore would fit that. He’s played ok against us.

I think it's far more likely we just look at what positions we need to fill and then see who's being offered around by the agents that fall within our pitiful budget.
Our days of headhunting people are long gone.

If the club has a significant chunk of budget tied up in the current halves I could see why they’d be tempted to move one on and reinvest across the squad.

The problem is I don’t have faith in them to get recruitment right, especially if we’re looking at the likes of Blackmore.

Although out of form, there is a decent player in both Patton and Lilley. They’re not the worst halves we’ve ever seen - Siejka and Herbert spring to mind for that!

I have a feeling we’ll try to find a club for Patton and go with Lilley + youngsters….

The latter.

Go on then give us the most likely underwhelming name

Jamie Doran from Workington fits the body shape profile

Wouldn’t mind Anthony Thackrey

Paul Sykes for a swansong year before retirement

I'm going to go out on a limb and say RagingBull is referring to Sammut judging by his earlier comment when Addy and Sammut were mentioned.

Addy has played half back.

Even though Scott Murrell is retiring at the end of the season surely he will want to go round again with the Bulls !!!

Murrell and Flanagan at Bradford. The 2 biggest wind up merchants in Rugby League. Inject it into my veins!

Don't joke - it really could happen...
