Just heard this, swap deal for Dudson or Kasiano (just to free up quota) is tolerable….if it is for Bullock then I’ll be dismayed. Bullock has been a good signing with the potential, under Burgess, to really kick on. Partington is bang average, all huff and puff with little reward.

Partington’s twice the player Bullock is.

Partington hasn't been the same player he was at Wigan

His stats for this season are pretty woeful.

Bullock has been one of the only positives over the past 2 seasons. He'd be one of the last players I'd be willing to release.

Exactly, I don't get it. He has had a few injury issues but just needs a decent run in the team. Maybe there is something we don't see.

He’s a lazy poop. That’s one of the reason Wigan got rid. Always late for training never gives 100%. He thinks he’s better than he is

Don’t agree with some of the comments about Partington and think he would be a very astute signing. He is only 25 is tough and uncompromising and can play long minutes. Bullock is 31 is often injured and plays in short stints. The back row badly needs stiffening up and, at last, we would have competition for places. I remember Walmsley saying a few years ago Partington is the type of player you can build your pack round.
I think I am in the minority about Dwyer too. As a former Academy player, his contribution to the salary cap would be at a minimum and he can still make an impact despite his limitations while Walker will probably play long minutes anyway.
