Castleford Tigers vs Bradford Bulls : Wed Nov 20, 2019 12:38 pm  

Started the commentary notes early and I’ve got this as our current strongest lineup on paper for next year:

FB - Brandon Pickersgill/Alex Stephenson
LW - Dee Foggin-Johnston/Murphy Smith
LC - Ross Oakes/Sam Smith
RC - Rhys Evans/Elliot Culling
RW - Greg Johnson/Ryan Butterworth
SO - Jordan Lilley/Cobi Green
SH - Rowan Milnes/Harry Shackleton
P - Steve Crossley/Oliver Scott
HK - Tom Doyle/Cameron Berry
P - Liam Kirk
SR - Evan Hodgson/Vytas Vaznys
SR - Conner Farrell *injured/Bradley Gallagher
LF - Sam Hallas


INT - George Flanagan *suspended
INT - Anthony England
INT - Keelan Foster
INT - Joe Brown

Slowly but surely it’s all starting to fit together.

Our lack of forwards is very worrying. We're struggling to even make a 17 and there's absolutely no depth there whatsoever.
Still a long way to go before the start of the season but JK has a hell of a lot of work to do.

To be accurate, it indicated that they were hoping to make 6 more signings, but it also stated that nobody was actually signed. Perhaps being pessimistic, but that didn't sound all that positive to me. I can only hope that the 6 they're referring to are people they're already talking to and the process is happening, rather than "we quite like him and are just waiting for his agent to come back from Magaluf to see if he's available and cheap enough".

Cheers, it’s going to be a long weight loss journey but I’m fully committed to fighting the flab.

In reply to your question - affirmative.

I wonder how many of the '6' mentioned are actual signings and how many are DR/loans?
