Just a thought, but with the now annual Bulls / Wakey exchange in full swing, what about Ryan Atkins? I know that he didn't leave well with some people at the club but for me he's the best young homegrown Bulls player outside Odsal right now.

Is he off contract?
I'd take Atkins back in a heartbeat. Whether he'd come back to us is an entirely different matter.

I'm not sure if he is but he was heavily rumoured with Leeds.

He's very good friends with my cousin and apparently after the way he was treated by Noble he wouldn't go back to Bradford. If it was an option though, i'd certainly take him back.

Dont forget Richard Johnson will be back from Aus next year!

I mentioned that a while back but apparently it wasn't a loan deal like I thought.

Who do you suggest?

Well if we are losing.....

Morrison, Solomona, Newton, and Jeffries, as has been either confirmed or strongly rumoured and probably also Matt James and Matt Cook, then I would hope that they are not all being replaced with only Glen Hall, Heath Le'Strange and A Halfback (you suggest a good one in Brough)

The fact is that our backs were not good enough for this season and your line up, with the exception of the yet unsigned Mr Brough, is practically exactly the same as this years, except for the fact that they are all a year older.

Our backs need sorted out and if we were to line up with your backs for next season then it is a complete joke.

However, I expect that Semi will be off anyway, Crookes will get a shot but he is untried due to his injury this season, Sykes might make a half decent back up half-back but we need specialists in this area and Sheriffe should be nowhere near a shirt because, quite frankly, he is rubbish.

The forwards should line up as.....

Lynch
Le'Strange
Hall
Menzies
Worrincy
Burgess

assuming we do not sign any more of them. The bench can be taken by the likes of Scruton, Kopczak, Langley, Donaldson, Godwin, Whitehead.

Langley has been gash for long enough now and really needs dropped to the bench at best.

So, to sum up, our forwards are fine but we NEED at least one (preferably TWO quality halfs) a winger to replace semi and another to shift Sheriffe anywhere but on our pitch and a Centre.

Halley and Nero are fine, Sykes will do a job in a number of roles but we need a quality backbone that we do not have.

Im not sure about Worrincy lining up in SR as starting.

Lynch
L'Estrange
Hall
Burgess
Menzies
Donaldson

I'd rather see that tbh.

Isn't Hall primarily a backrower? I may be wrong.

Well it is all about opinions and we are all entitled to them. I just feel that Burgess is better at LF and Worrincy has been one of our top performers this season. As good are the reviews Donaldson has had after the weekend, I doubt he would have featured much had this poll been done last week. (and before the usual suspects start, that is not a dig at him)

Still, no Langley so it is a decent shout.

agree with you about burgess at LF ( although if donaldson continues to impress I might be inclined to use him at LF), whilst worrincy has been one our better players this season the vast majority of those performances have bee where he's started on the bench and come on against tired opposition. Hes then done a lot of damage. When he's started game against fresh opposition he hasnt looked anything like as effective. wigan game was a good example of this.
