Judging by who’s been out of favour I can see a few on their way out. I also think we’ll be promoting a few from the 19s. Remember kear was given a squad he had no say in for 2018 and many of them were on longish contracts. A lot expire this season so he’ll want to bring in his own players.

I wouldn’t be surprised if one or two we’d rather keep move on, Ethan Ryan being the prime candidate – I’d be amazed if he stays (and delighted).

We aren't surely going to be in the promotion mix for another two years or so. Ethan gave us a boost with his loyalty in not going to Leigh, so I wouldn't begrudge him electing to try his hand in superdooperleague. Same as Bullseye I'd be chuffed but surprised if he stays.

What's this talk of Bullseye going to SL then?

Easy for SL clubs to start planning now when they already know their central funding allocation for next year.
I've never quite understood how us lower league clubs are supposed to do it without making some (potentially risky) assumptions.

Agreed on that. Promotion should be for 1st place and relegation last place. Anti tampering deadline after all leagues finish.

Otherwise promoted teams are left fighting for scraps.

The Rhino's are getting increasingly desperate.

Well, Bullseye has stuck with us for long enough; tempering arguments between FA and Eddie must have taken its toll.

Its a shame, but I don't think we can stand in his way. I can see everyone wishing him the best as he retires to a new home, without fear of financial meltdowns and cloth cutting. Or voluntary tackles.

I've been told Bulls are interested in Connor Robinson from York for next season. Don't know how true that is but I'd have thought he'd have stuck it out at York if James Ford stays on.

You can't do that because of the law.

Players can start looking for a new club when there's six months left on their current deal.

It's been a great time at Bradford but I feel he time is right for a change.
39 years might not seem long but I think the Whinos need my experience behind them as they shoot for success in the Championship in 2020. They feel my knowledge of following the Bulls into oblivion on three occasions is just what they need to bring on their young supporters.
