2017 Squad : Sat Jul 30, 2016 10:26 pm  
Let's try lift the mood a bit! Was talking to a mate last having a pint he said at fev last week there was talk we only currently have 8 players signed up for next year, off top of my head I counted

Moss
Clare
Caro
Chisholm
Welham
Sidlow
O'Brien
Ryan

Obviously Leon returning would make 9. Does anyone hope Rohan Smith adds to this from outside or after 2 years of underperforming is there anyone else from the current squad you'd consider keeping? Personally I'd look at kavanagh, Pitts (if he can regain his form of last year) but beyond that I'm struggling

Re: 2017 Squad : Sun Jul 31, 2016 10:38 am  
From that list I'd be trying to offload Lovegrove, Halafihi, Campbell and Mendieka.
Also rumours of Purtell calling it a day but we'll see if he makes an appearance between now and the end of the season.

Hopefully we can retain Pitts and Olbison. Not sure what's happening with Danny Williams?

Rumoured signings so far:

Leon Pryce
Illies Macani
Jon Magrin

Macani, Magrin and Alex Walker from Broncos.

You are not alone in having to add a fair few players as I can see up being very light. Assuming Wes and Thacks to retire, Slyney back to Aus, the three to you boys, rumour of Bussey to Toronto, Soward (who knows), Stapleton (hasnt played a game all season) .........

Re: 2017 Squad : Sun Jul 31, 2016 3:26 pm  
Is Alex Walker any good? 21 year old Fullback or Winger, so another very young player that Rohan is bringing in.

I didn't realise that London had signed Dalton Grant. I've always been impressed with him when I've seen him play and someone I had hoped we might try to sign at some point - I think he'll go well in a full time team.

Alex Walker is a guy whose had chances, sometimes gone well (semi v Dewsbury last year) but on the whole seems to have reached the glass ceiling. I rate him higher than Macani.

Re: 2017 Squad : Sun Jul 31, 2016 7:34 pm  
I like the make up of the squad, maybe the Bulls could dual reg with New Northern and share players who aren't getting game time under Rohan? would make sense for both both clubs to work together.
