Our resident seemingly dyslexic reporter has dropped another clanger in the headlines .... "opportunity arrises" ....

Just hope we don't get our "arrises" kicked on Friday.

Genuinely shocking that this lemon still has a job at the club that doesn't involve cleaning the bogs.

Possibly just a tad unfair. Everyone has their own set of good and less good qualities and whilst normally a poor command of the native language would preclude a job in journalism, or any related position, you'd think some supervision, or mentoring, could be arranged. Though I'd accept that this arrangement couldn't go on for ever, and to be fair, it would seem that some 'multi-tasking' is going on up at Odsal so we must hope that his (her) other duties are more suitable to his (her) abilities.

All that said, I've never had a word processing programme which didn't come with a spell checker (which I have to overrule on a regular basis....but that's another matter).

This matter has been raised on numerous occasions with plenty of people (including staff) offering to proof read before issue. Nothing has been done. This week's output has been very poor indeed with a scatter-gun approach to capital letters, apostrophes and players names being spelt differently throughout an article.

I suspect there is little management oversight of the staff member in question.

I'll be bringing the issue up at the next fans forum if nothing's done about it. I've tried the "more in sorrow than in anger" approach and been through all the usual channels on the quiet. It hasn't worked. I'd obviously rather not embarrass anyone in public but it might be the only way...

Let's hope they do take some sort of action as it putting the club in a very poor light as it is. Amateurish doesn't even come close.

Definitely a good signing. Interesting that an attacking FB was seen as the priority after wings rather than a decapitator type of prop. Although as expected the emphasis has been on defence to start with, this looks like a commitment to attacking play from a number of positions not just half backs. Chisholm and McNally, how many tries are they going to make/finish for each other - and Elliot, Joe, Reiss etc too. So a big step in the right direction, and the promise of entertaining and winning rugby this season.

I'd agree. I know Kear said in an interview or an article (before we signed McNally) that Ryan was putting his hand up for FB. Although I do like Ryan from what I have seen I just don't think he's good enough at FB going forward and finishing moves in that sense. The signing of McNally shows that we have signed someone who can make a break from anywhere. Back up any breaks made on the field and finish them off with a try. But for me more importantly it allows Ryan to revert to the wing and continue his fruitful partnership with Oakes, where his type of finishing is better and he'll score a ton of tries.

I still think that the club are in the market for at least one prop.
I'd be very surprised if there isn't one announced before the final friendly.

Trial list prop playing Friday. Big lad, line buster and off loader looking at video Jordan Andrade: who knows?!

TBF If he's playing for Oxford the level of opposition will be the same as what we will come up against this season

saw the name on the squad list, went to the video, came back here and saw everything I wanted to say already said by tt TB BB2 and BB. Lets hope he delivers. and can tackle.

Hi again Bulls fans.

McNally = Great signing IMHO.
Maybe a little slight in build for a modern RL FB & of course his only real failing is a reluctance to return the ball, however given 2 seasons of early & big injuries taking him out for long periods of the season it is perhaps an understandable psychological hurdle he must overcome.

Gregg will rip holes through CH1 & would still be a top performing FB at Championship level.

Oh, by the way, I love the away shirt, looks like one of the old NRL indigenous designs .... I approve.
