Thought Clarkson went well in his new role as No. 10 we obviously still need another prop to replace Tilse but maybe that's that's enough if Clarkson can continue to impress. The new role seemed to suit him.

Scruton & Clark were excellent against Hull so if you add Clarkson, new signing (Hala probably) plus Mulhern & Moran that might be enough.

Leaving the 2 surprise signings to complete the initial £1.2m squad that starts the regular season.

See mail reporting its being confirmed we have signed Kieron moss front Bradford bulls a full back another full back

Re: new prop signing : Wed Jan 11, 2017 10:13 pm  

Bulls fans rate him very highly, Leeds were rumoured to be in for him last week.

Re: new prop signing : Wed Jan 11, 2017 10:29 pm  

Bulls fans are gutted.
If their tries of the season compilation video are a yardstick the boy can play. Seems a no brainer if he'll sign and not on the quota is a further bonus.
Sure he could play on the wing.

Seems Sheens surprise maybe it's not a prop.

Sounds like the rfl are back-tracking over the quota exempt status of ex-Bulls players and this is stalling the announcement of Moss. Rovers have 2 spots available and don't want to use 1up.

Where will he play, on the wing? Very similar player to Quinlan.

Re: new prop signing : Thu Jan 12, 2017 7:18 pm  

If he's a quota I wouldn't be surprised if we're stalling/ pulling out

Understandable then. Not worth a quota spot for a winger and cover at full back. We need horrible forwards, props preferably.
Looks a very good running threat. Hope we get him and stick him on the wing.
Moss and Mitch Clark were team mates in a very good Penrith under 20 side that won their 2013 grand final. Highlights are on YouTube. They both score in the final.

Looks a running full back and Quinlan a converted half back.
Be surprised if Moss couldn't make a go of it on the wing.

not too sure of the workings of qualifying as a quota spot.... but would page be non quota?
