heard from very good sources that Sam is going to the NRL next year.
Also, Deacs is going and Jeffries.

No rumours who - if any - will sign to replace them

Who's going to sign Deacon? Can't see him retiring. Who are these sources?

Deacs and Jefferies in the NRL is surely a dream come true for some lucky antipodeans



Hope Sam isn't going, he might not be the finished article, but I would like to have seen him become that at Bradford before plying his trade in Auz.

Interesting. If Sam does go then the club would have to bring in some top quality to soften the blow. If they don't pull it off a lot of people will be very disgruntled, after all he ticks all the boxes for fans, he's a local lad, young, coveted by other clubs and when he performs he's one of the best forwards in SL.

I wouldn't be surprised if Deacs retired. He's taken some heavy knocks this year.

If Jeffries goes as well we'll need two new halfbacks at least. That means the side would take time to settle down next year but it's an opportunity for a fresh start.

I hate to say this but, if Sam stays at the Bulls as they are now I don't think he'll ever be the finished article.

I'd be extremely surprised if that was true. New players at 6,7 and 9. Plus the loss of our star man, sounds like a lot of re-building in one off season.

I did hear a few weeks ago that Leon Pryce might be on his way back to the Bulls. I laughed it off at the time though as complete nonsense.

I'd take

6.Pryce
7.Jeffries
9.Wing

To Salford to replace Myler. That should seal their fate. Or Oldham.

Outs
Newton
Burgess ? Hope not.
Solomona
Morrison ?

Ins
Hall
?
?
?

Macca needs to get some shopping done.

We won't get wing.

This would disappoint me, but I wouldn't be at all surprised:

6.Jeffries
7.Deacon
9.Drew

Of course
6.Pryce
7.Jeffries or New
9. Quality Hooker would be better.

Pryce ain't coming back.

Would rather it was not him doing the shopping. His record in the transfer market is appalling.

Shame we cannot add.....

Cook
Sheriffe
Platt
Deacon
Godwin
Langley
and Sykes

to that list.

Oh, and Hood, McNamara, Richards and Clawson.

Then the future would look a bit brighter as far as I am concerned.
