Back on the subject of next season, I see Mike Worrincy has just been released by Doncaster (didn't even know he was there). A return for the turnstile?

Probably being replaced by Graham Horne, who I'd like to see come to the Bulls. Good professional and a versatile player. Going to link up with his brother after being released by Hull KR though I'd imagine.

quoting bullinenemyland and the Potential starting lineup;

1. Lee Smith

3. Ashley Gibson
4. Ross Oakes
5.
6. Joe Keyes
7. Dane Chisholm
8. Liam Kirk

12.
13. Elliot Minachella

Squad members
Vila Halafihi
Oliver Wilson
Evan Hodgson
Reiss Butterworth

rumoured
Garside
Harrison

Looking good so far, but with a definite need for wingers and forwards, with a couple of big experienced hard props as a priority. Anyone heard any more rumours of players?

But most importantly we need the head coach position sorted first, but I suspect that'll become clearer once we hear the RFL plans for League 1, which must be changing in some form so an announcement about which I guess will be next week? Which will happily coincide with the timeframe Toovey has put on his decision, isn't that a happy coincidence??

Speaking to a Wakefield fan the other day and he was quite adamant that we had either been speaking to or offered a contract to Richard Owen. I don't believe it like, but stranger things have happened.

I hope we are looking a a couple of Pacific Islanders in the World Cup. Wouldn't mind an Ah Van type winger at this level or a Manuokafoa type prop (2012 version) at this level either.

Garside and Harrison next 2 signings

According to his stats he hasn’t played since March 2016.

I seem to remember he had some off the field issues at Cas and Wakefield. I’m sure there must be better options available.

Can't see Owen being anywhere near fit. Wasn't his last game against us just before the MPG. Would rather keep Macani.

Yeah got accused of burglery and rape (or sexual assault) this year. Not guilty on both accounts.

And tbf it depends if he has kept himself fit over the past year, I'd personally not go for him, I think he's crap anyway. Just passing on a rumour that I was told As I say I don't believe it, but maybe one of you who are actually in the know might have heard something.

Why would it be strange?

Re: 2018 Bradford Bulls : Fri Sep 29, 2017 3:33 pm  

The Bulls Twitter feed is teasing another new signing or re-signing.

My money is on Garside.

Re: 2018 Bradford Bulls : Fri Sep 29, 2017 3:43 pm  

Garside confirmed. Good signing and again 2 years.
