Christ we're gonna have some pace with Moss, Caro, Clare, Ryan and Macani! And Welham is no slouch either.

Looks potentially pretty exciting doesn't it. We played some excellent stuff in the Championship Shield when Chisholm, Moss and O'Brien really got going. Add Leon into the mix and a much bigger more powerful looking pack and we could be quite a destructive side.

If Roche is our final addition we are looking pretty strong in the pack.

I'd like Ryan Bailey too for a bit of experience and aggression but maybe that's being too greedy.

Even though he's a c*nt?

Yeah, I don't particularly like Gareth Hock but he was pretty effective for Leigh last year and I think Bailey could bring something similar to our team.

Our nearest thing to a forward with a bit of niggle/nastiness was Haggerty and he's gone.

However it's probably immaterial if we can't move anyone else on and Roche is the last signing as alluded to by Rohan.

Have we confirmed our season games yet other than Keighley? I wouldn't be surprised to see a trip to Huddersfield for Robinsons testimonial plus Batley to be our other two

maybe best not to get too excited about caro yet. piece in T&A that he may be allowed to leave to play sevens for jamaica.

Re: 2017 Squad : Thu Nov 10, 2016 7:34 am  

Aye, I saw that too. Ross obviously saw my post and thought he'd better start the murmurs going. But hey at least Campbell is fighting for a wing spot! Yeah, him. Remember? No, me neither.

Funnily enough I heard Caro in the list of absentees during BCB radio coverage of a couple of the later games. The only other name mentioned yet to have a proper rumour is Thomas.

Caro is going to Jamaica to play 7s as confirmed at the BullBuilder quiz night.

He'll be back in pre season training with us afterwards.

Ross'sarticle went a bit further and said if jamaica progressed in tournament then bulls were prepared to release him permanently.

Well maybe. As things stand he'll be coming back. 7s for Jamaica doesn't sound like a regular salary to live on to me but I don't know much about the 7s circuit.

What do we think of Caro? He's a decent finisher IMO and very quick when he winds up. Think his rather distracted manner is a bit of a hindrance to him as it can make him look a bit like he's not bothered.

For a big lad I think he could make a bit more of an impact physically. He seems to get tackled rather easily for my liking.

He's great in the air attacking a cross field kick.

Think Ryan's progress and Macani being signed probably means someone is on their way eventually from our wingers. I'd say probably Campbell or Caro by the sound of it.

Re: 2017 Squad : Thu Nov 10, 2016 10:42 am  

I'd have said campbell is most likely one we'd try to ease out. Assuming clare is going to be used in centres then I'd have put ryan and caro as first choice with macani/campbell as backup.
