Pryce wasn't on a lot of money at all. In fact most on here would be shocked at what he was on!

And my guess is either Fielden or one of the Wigan kids who got released.

I would second that guess, and of the 3 kids Ryan Kings 16 tries in 21 u20s games looks promising, sounds like he wants the step up and wont get it at Wigan.

Looks like a good young winger tbh. Mellor and Marsh I would think are nailed on for Widnes.

Matty Blythe added to squad list original post, welcome news and a good call by the two posters above, but wheres the props?

Good signing.

Decent enough signing,gives us some squad depth. Doesn't address the weak areas of the squad though and only a loan (though I suppose if there's no recall clause it's not much different to a 1 yr permanent signing).

Maybe reading too much into it but notice all press reports describe him as a centre as opposed to a 2nd row/centre. Maybe a clue as to cummins' plans.

Well as we've already got Bateman and Whitehead for the 2nd row and we're a bit light in the 3/4 it makes sense to have him as a centre.

I've put him as centre in the OP list as RF2 says theres Bateman Whitehead plus Olbison and Walker, now Blythe as an option. Sensible insurance policy if Purtell isnt given the green light in December.

Ok, so the Bulls starting line up for 2013 so far looks something like this then?

(Gaps left were we don't have an "official" player for that position rather than just a makeshift)

1. Kearney
2.
3. Lulia
4. Blyth
5. Kear
6. Southernwood
7. Gale
8. Scruton
9. Diskin
10.
11. Whitehead
12. Bateman
13. Langley

Subs:
14: L'Estrange
15. Olbison
16. Walker
17.

It's not massively weaker than last year, is it? The only worry is the lack of props and cover in the half backs.
From those OOC players who've not confirmed we've allowed to leave it'd be nice to be able to hold onto all of them especially if Sammut HAS been allowed dispensation for an additional length of time we'd be closer still to this year's playing strength.
