From what i've seen Wheeler is absolute quality, and Lomax has pace to burn compared to most players.

Would you rather field inexperienced halves (Wheeler & Eastmond) than let Pryce turn up and play 6?

Yes.

We don't have a thing to lose. We won nothing last year so the only thing we can miss out on this year is the playoffs and if our standard and style of play continues as it has now since June, we'll be lucky to make the playoffs this season. So I'd say go for broke. In fact, I'd be tempted to follow Leeds' model and have an organising 13 so that both Wheeler and Eastmond could do their thing without the burden of having to organise players around the park. But that's just me.

I mean, if you had a few young players with real potential at Bradford and one of them was being held back by a well paid man who either doesn't know what to do or can't be bothered doing it, and your season was looking like a non-starter, wouldn't you be tempted to throw caution to the wind and let your young guys get some serious game time in to show us what they can do?

You mean like with Michael Worrincy vs Olbison/Whitehead?

If you've got a prop then we're on! Do you have any spare props around?


Good news on the centres. The British game needs native centres. For some reason Saints are good at producing halfbacks. So if you need one when your present contingent are returning down under, let us know. I'm sure we'll have a spare one tucked away somewhere.

The good thing about halfbacks is they can play a number of positions equally well.

We'll have another Paul Deacon type one who would be ready to take over from Orford in 3 years.

We've got Straugheir and Crookes coming through in the centres, then Crossley, George and Tom Burgess & Tom Lilycrop coming through in the props. Out of those i'd most like to spare Crossley to swap for a halfback, although he is 19/20 now so not a proper youngster, but still young for a prop.

Bradford produce their own quality halfbacks. We don't need anybody's help.

I'll think you'll find we can handle losing games as long as it looks like our team were trying to win. The booing is for the lack of effort and coordination not the fact we lost.

Don't be daft. We're just having some banter.

I think it would be cool if clubs specialised in developing players in different positions so that we could then all trade in sound talent, meaning less need for imports, and furnish the England team with enough quality to kill off the Aussies at last!

The RFL will pay you for that scheme

And Bulls4 champs, who apart from Danny Addy do we have who could be pusing for a first team place in the next 2-3 years?

Sounds familiar

I see Graham's been passed fit, which is a damn shame in regards to our chances on Sunday. If he wouldn't have been playing Saints lose their impact prop in Fa'asavalu and arguably their best player in Graham himself.
