PNG is where we need to be looking. We need the new Menzie Yere and his ilk. Perfect for our level.

Hunslet did ok recruiting PNG-ers in recent years. If they did it we can.

That'll be harder than in the past with the emergence of the PNG Hunters. Just seen 10 of their players were in the last PNG test squad, with 4 others from NRL sides.

Good point, seems Chalmers plans to be "all over" the World Cup may turn out to be "all talk". At least he acknowledged that players they recruit would have to be eligible for a visa so no repeat of the Phoenix fiasco hopefully - but that's a low expectation really. Whether we get anyone half decent from the world cup remains to be seen. You may get an Offerdahl type player emerge. I guess we wait and see. I harbour irrational hopes that we'll re-sign Damian Sironen but really he's far too good for C1.

Sam Hallas has said he wants to be here next year. It's still up in the air as to who we're able to retain

I'd say after reading the article he's happy he's signed for Bradford and dosent feel like the others that his jobs under threat hence why bulls allowed the article on the site it's factually correct he will be here next year.

It's a pity that Sam won't know most of the other new members of the team next year, because after today's showing on the pitch, not even the most ardent Bulls fan would give the time of day to that shower who were on display - let alone a first team place !

Unfortunately so is Lee Smith, assuming his contract doesn't become null and void.

Well if that's a 'statement of intent', then the intention is mediocrity...
