Quote: Nothus "Definitely need some props, hopefully Magrin and Evans both sign up which would give us Sidlow, Kavanagh, Evans, Magrin and Kirk. Still at least one more needed after that imo.

As for our centres, I want Welham and Clare to get the 3 and 4 shirts. Oakes for backup, Mellor can also fill in if needed.

Loose forward is a tricky one. Do you go for pure bulk and ignore the handling skills? Or maybe you just get a tackling machine like Donaldson was? No names are immediately springing to mind - hopefully Rohan can use his contacts in Aus to bring over one or two more gems like Moss.'"


maybe plan is to use haggerty at loose forward then gradually bring bentley into the role?.

Looks like Ross has a new favourite word in exodus. He's certainly using it at every opportunity. Ateotd we were always going to have a big turnover of players this year due to stupidly large squad and 2 yr deals given out last year. Only a handful of those going that we would have probably liked to keep. Suspect due to issue with HMRC and winding up petition, we're in special measures, so unable to announce any new signings until after hearing 5th September. So a couple more weeks of only outgoing news.

Dovetail, he loves that one.

Foster at 13 for me should we sign him. Big strong runner and defender.

London fans seem to think Foster is going to Widnes.
A shame Ioane is staying at London because he looked good today, runs very hard.
And who on here wasn't impressed with Macani? Scored a very special try today. Hopefully roger is right and he's already a done deal.

Macani, Caro, Clare and Ryan battling it out for the wing spots is fine for next year. His try today and 3 last week all showed tremendous speed. Rohan seems to be going for a very quick and skillful backline with Moss and Welham in there too.

Very happy with how things look to be shaping up if all the rumours are true.

Anyone heard anything more on the Achurch rumour? He looked good again today. The guy is massive and pretty mobile too. He took his try very well. He'd add some much needed size to our pack.

Macani is an out and out finisher. Great speed and footwork.

But his defence and ability under the high ball need a lot of work.

We're certainly upgrading in recruiting Dalton Grant.... In my opinion icon_smile.gif

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!

Quote: redeverready "Blame Paul Medley for that if you weren't 18 stone and over 6 foot you weren't getting recommend by him.'"


Well I think at the time bulking up was a long term strategy use by all the SL Clubs for Senior and Junior players, in Johns case he was probably glad he had the bulk after seeing how he was targeted by the Aussie Schoolboys(What a misnomer they were all built like brick outhouses) while on tour in 2012 over there, but that could also account for his neck twitch, which can happen when using and I am assuming this was steroidal bulking products!

Quote: hindle xiii "Without wanting to circle Sheffield like vultures, there are a number of players we could offer a reasonable - cut our cloth accordingly - lifeline to.

I'd especially think Matt James could come and do a job in the forwards once again, a former home grown player and Champ established forward.

And of course I think we'd all like to see roger get his wish if things don't turn around in the short term.'"


Know what you mean about the vultures comment but certainly wouldn't say no to mark Mexico and Gary lo

Just reading and thinking about the exodus, from the MPG last year, which presumably was our strongest team at that point, only 2 from the 17 will still be at the club, namely AOB and Sidlow!!!! Of the ones leaving my main regrets would be Mullaney, Gaskell 2015 vintage and Clough with lesser regrets around Pitts and Olbison.

Don't think you can call it vultures when the players have been told to find another club, different from a certain SL team not far from where I live and a Welsh prop forward, that was a vulture approach

Macani, Magrin and Foster all confirmed on 2 year deals.

rlhttp://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/post/bulls-sign-london-triorl

Ross seems to think Foster has been signed as a first choice centre for next season. I'll admit to not knowing too much about him but I thought he was more of a second rower or loose?

You certainly are. On one hand Bradford fans must just be happy they still have a club but on the other hand the signings they are making leave them further away from SL than they have ever been.

Don't be so sure, Rohan Smith is giving the impression that he can make silk purses from sows ears, whereas Jimmy seemed to be able to do it in reverse,

Providing Marc Green can sort his finances out and get a decent replacement for Ferris, things should start to look better for the Club!

Don't think we can be much further away than we are now, you have to get into SL before making SL signings

I'll think we'll be fine Greg. A full pre-season for our spine to gel who IMO will probably be one of the best next year.

Back line is fine.

Badly needs some forwards but i trust Rohan to sort this unlike the comedy double act of Lowes and Ferres.

Foster i like at centre. Biggest attribute is his defence.

Macani. Think he'll be decent attack and poor defence. Don't think he's better than Ryan or Clare.

Margrin looks a big lad. Needs some grunt up front so hopefully he'll be first of a few in that position.
