I would imagine they are hoping to either offload him, or at least push him out on loan somewhere

Agreed. think there is him Oscar and Campbell that clearly arent rated and to keep all 3 doesnt make sense. Guess there is just the small matter of their contracts to consider! Cant blame the lads for wanting to stay
Again lets blame Ferres!

Friendly at Batley in Jan should give us an idea how our season will go.

I know what they have tried to do to Campbell. It's not his fault. But I do think they should give him a chance. He broke his leg before his time at Bradford and hasn't been same since. He was very good at Batley.

To be honest I think Caro is a bit of a simpleton, which affects his ability to be positionally aware in defense. Teams run rings around him quite often. I think Clare is our best winger by a country mile, and Ethan has come on so much in the second half of last season that it would be difficult to overlook him. Maybe Caro's height may count for him, if ever Rohan wants to go aerial in a game. Also, aro does have pace to burn, but he rarely shows it, and rarely backs himself again defending wingers when he decides to apply the afterburners. I think his mentality holds him back.

Summary - Clare and Ethan first choice wingers for me any day of the week. Caro very good backup at this level and has qualities we could use. Campbell is only at the Bulls cos he played well against us in the 2015 season - that was Jimmy/Ferres's signings policy, the way I see it.

Clare and Ryan first choice for me too. Ryan and Welham looked a very good partnership towards the end of the year.

Caro and Macani very good second choices and competition for places.

I agree about Campbell. I just don't see where he fits in at all. Same goes for Mendeika. There was talk of a couple of dual reg situations with lower league clubs in the T&A this week. If they get sorted you would think that Campbell/Mendeika/Thomas/Halafihi will spend most of their time away unless a serious injury crisis hits.

He did. I was surprised to see him at the quiz the other night, but he was there.

I don't know why all this negativity about Caro. Along with Welham he is probably one of the best finishers in the squad. Five tries on two occasions is not to be sniffed at. He scores some very exciting long range trys and is not utilised with high kicks to the corner which I think Chisholm would provide next season.

I think the negativity about Caro comes as a result of his languid style. Not deserved really as you say. That said I think that Clare is better and Ryan scored some tries late last season that Caro would not be able to score. E.g. the long range "in and away" vs Swinton, the step between two covering players vs Fax and the ones where he chased a lost cause kick to score tries

I think the competition between the wingers can only to be good for the side, and yeah, there is quality in abundance so whoever gets the nod will need to be on top form to keep their spot. Just as it should be, in fact.

My opening wingers would be Clare and Ryan, but I certainly wouldn't moan if Caro were involved.

Wow! Didn't see that one coming...

Perhaps they'll think about signing Gaskell and/or Ferguson as well... you just never know icon_lol.gif
