I wasn't particularly interested in the CC and I won't be devastated if we lose tomorrow but I think we need a good performance tomorrow for the teams confidence. A victory seems unlikely but it might just give the players the lift they clearly need.

Agree about no interest in CC. Worst thing thay could happen tomorrow is playing poorly but being a close game and coaching staff thinking everything is ok. The two results from Wigan and Leeds could be a good thing as it gives everyone at the club a rocket that things need changing.

MANAGING DIRECTOR Steve Ferres is urging supporters to get behind Francis Cummins' men on Sunday as Bradford Bulls welcome Catalan Dragons to The Provident Stadium, in round five of the Tetley's Challenge Cup.

“It would be fantastic to see a strong crowd getting behind the boys on Sunday, in what is a very important game for the club,” said Ferres.

I think it's about time the Team gave the fans something to get behind! Show us some Pride and fight for each other.

Can't see it being anything BUT a trickle to be fair, and what's worse, with loanees it [icould[/i be like a revolving door.

None of us knows what money is available but it is a fact that there are few players available to sign and probably even fewer [thinking mainly about overseas players here] who would want to commit to a club in our position. There may be the odd one or two, I guess, and hopefully the pieces will fall our way - but I'm not holding my breath.

Perhaps but for players just outside their clubs first choice 17 it's a chance to prove yourself - so maybe not the stars but players with a bit of something to prove?

Thought Pitts was very good today!

Well, yeah I agree, but I think that's pretty much what I said, to be fair. Players outside their clubs top 17 are obviously in contract though, which leaves us with the 'revolving door syndrome' loan system, and of course, you say top 17 but every club has a set of regularly used players, outside the top 17 to cover for the inevitable injuries - so we're really talking about players who are unlikely to feature at all for their own clubs, except in the direst of emergencies.

Though I'd agree that there are an odd few around - and I'd guess more to come for us [if we're lucky] -I'd really like to see fully signed blokes coming in, though as said previously, it really isn't the best time to be looking.

I agree. He looked hungry for possession and has good footwork. Looking forward to seeing how Arundel goes this weekend.

Today's T&A story about the fans being then18th man says that the club are trying to bring in some new faces before the weekend

I'm just preparing my smug face for when it's Lee Jewitt.

I'm just preparing my FFS face for when it's Ryan Bailey.

I'd be delighted with Jewitt. Under rated player IMO.

I've heard that Ryan Shaw has been talking to the Bulls. I think he's been released by Warrington. Not sure why we need a winger myself though.

No, I think we're 'suited' for outside backs - unless he doubles as a prop?

McAvoy signed for Workington Town at the end of last season.

So he's playing outside SL? Wonder if he'd be open to a return?
