Started the commentary notes early and I’ve got this as our current strongest lineup on paper for next year:

FB - Brandon Pickersgill/Alex Stephenson
LW - Dee Foggin-Johnston/Murphy Smith
LC - Ross Oakes/Sam Smith
RC - Rhys Evans/Elliot Culling
RW - Greg Johnson/Ryan Butterworth
SO - Jordan Lilley/Cobi Green
SH - Rowan Milnes/Harry Shackleton
P - Steve Crossley/Oliver Scott
HK - Tom Doyle/Cameron Berry
P - Liam Kirk
SR - Evan Hodgson/Vytas Vaznys
SR - Conner Farrell *injured/Bradley Gallagher
LF - Sam Hallas


INT - George Flanagan *suspended
INT - Anthony England
INT - Keelan Foster
INT - Joe Brown

Slowly but surely it’s all starting to fit together.

Our lack of forwards is very worrying. We're struggling to even make a 17 and there's absolutely no depth there whatsoever.
Still a long way to go before the start of the season but JK has a hell of a lot of work to do.

Thanks Mick that's a help seeing where we are light, are the prospective signings you mentioned on the other thread forwards? Talking of beefcake, well done on losing 6kg keep going!

The ask the fans indicated 6 more signings. I hope that at least four of those are forwards

thanks DrFG, thats made me...

...Feel Good

To be accurate, it indicated that they were hoping to make 6 more signings, but it also stated that nobody was actually signed. Perhaps being pessimistic, but that didn't sound all that positive to me. I can only hope that the 6 they're referring to are people they're already talking to and the process is happening, rather than "we quite like him and are just waiting for his agent to come back from Magaluf to see if he's available and cheap enough".

Cheers, it’s going to be a long weight loss journey but I’m fully committed to fighting the flab.

In reply to your question - affirmative.

Slight misinterpretation on my part, apologies.

This was my question I asked the night this ask the bulls thing started could well be signed by now

I wonder how many of the '6' mentioned are actual signings and how many are DR/loans?

Not seen anything about signings announced yet mick

Anthony England was announced earlier this week.

It’s the last payday before the early bird ends next week so expect some news on signings and fingers crossed (the dual registration agreement).

F*** me Mick, carry on making shrewd observations like that and you will be roped in to do the Bulls cash flow forecast for them, under the nom de plumb: The Cash Caller.

btw, 6.2 kg today?

One overwhelming positive for the Bradford Bulls is the club’s track record in promoting young players from the academy to the first team. Harry Shackleton and Sam Smith become the latest players to make this journey when Bradford travel to face Castleford on Boxing Day.
