Good news if we could get him, but I'd heard the sort of salary he was on at the Bulls so I'd assume it would be a heck of a drop in pay if he came to us.

Yes please.

Re: Ben Kavanagh : Thu Jan 19, 2017 3:51 pm  

Yes please as in your a friend or know him or yes please he will improve what we have.

Is he a player that can bust tackles and get off loads and takes some putting down or is he dependable but won't set the world alight as we have way too many of them as it is at the moment. Serious question as I haven't seen much of him playing.

Afraid it's much of the latter according to a Bulls fan at work.

Re: Ben Kavanagh : Thu Jan 19, 2017 4:13 pm  

Our problem last year was we died with the ball way too easy, we had no fight in the tackle, no off-loads and no 2nd phase attack, once defenders got their hands on us that was it, tackle made. Only players who could get their nose through have gone now (Manning and Moore), it's ok having some steady eddies but a team full of them will never compete and simply go through the motions each game. There were a few rare games we did well, Bulls away one I remember however the last 12 games were woeful for attacking and building momentum.

Totally agree.Not everyones cup of tea but give me a couple of Sam Barlows any day of the week.Current lot would struggle to break through a line of cheerleaders.

Cas have just released a back rower Brandon Westerman. Looks a promising player who was on loan at York. We look short in numbers and our rivals snapping up players.
