Johnny Campbell.

Uninspiring. Recovering from a badly broken leg and is probably at the bottom of the list to choose from in our back line options. Might as well have used his wage to top up make bigger offers for players that would get in our 17.

And ANOTHER 2 year deal...

I do wonder how much you have seen the lad play if those are your feelings. As someone who has seen him plenty of times I can honestly say I rate him better than most of your wingers/full back. Unfortunatley for Bradford they had already signed him when he broke his leg and he wont play next season but get him fit for the year after and he will be a good signing for you for the Championship.

I thought in both games I saw him against us last year he proved very hard for us to handle. If he recovers from his injury he has to be better than Henry, Mendika and Etu who were at best ineffective. Give him a chance he reminded me of Roger Simpson.

Gidinet has been released by Wakefield. I've seen on their board that his Mrs has recently changed the location on her Twitter account from Wakefield to Bradford. Could we be in for him? I think he would be a great signing for the club, spell him at hooker and use him as an impact player to run at tiring defences and give AOB a rest. He would tear up the championship.

For our backs - Henry & Shaw have gone. Purts, Blythe and Neilsen (he staying?) are our centres. Uaisele and Ulugia are surplus to requirements - whether we can move them on is another matter entirely. Mendeika is a utility back, with centre his preferred position I think. So reasonable cover. Williams & Clare & Mullaney would seem to have the wing & FB spots at the moment with Caro pushing them. Campbell is reasonable cover for this as well and possibly push them also. My main concern is how he recovers from the fracture. Are either of the 2 academy guys we've promoted backs?

Rumoured to be going to saints. Also we'd have to pay big odds to have lured him away from Wakey.

Re: 2016 Squad Requirements : Fri Nov 06, 2015 10:47 am  

Smith didn't always pick him and it looks like Wakey have released him. Saints?

Re: 2016 Squad Requirements : Fri Nov 06, 2015 10:50 am  

Saints have Fages don't they? Do they not play similar positions?
