I'd have Bateman and Winterstein in the second row, Ferguson at loose (with Addy in the halves) . All three are pretty much interchangeable.

Re: Bulls sign World Cup Star : Tue Oct 29, 2013 12:34 pm  

What about Donaldson?

Re: Bulls sign World Cup Star : Tue Oct 29, 2013 12:37 pm  

Its nice to see we've finally got some competition for places again. Been a while since we had that.

I'm still going for Addy at loose and Bateman and Dale in second row but what a big man to bring off the bench in big frank

And not forgetting Donaldson (as you've pointed out)

Re: Bulls sign World Cup Star : Tue Oct 29, 2013 12:48 pm  

So how do we all expect us to line up, given a full strength squad?

Kearney
Kear
Blythe
Henry
Foster
Sammut/Gaskell
Gale
Scruton
Heath
Nas
Bateman
Ferguson
Addy

Diskin
Carvell
Sidlow
Winterstein

This leaves one of Sammut or Gaskell knocking on the door along with Purtell, George, Olbison, Donaldson, Walker, Evans, Roberts, Wood, Mellor, O' Brien and Conroy.

Have I forgotten anyone?

Hmm, I'm sure Purtell wasn't there when I typed it! Stupid slow computer.

Anyroad, anyone who may care to remember would point to me being particularly underwhelmed and scathing of this rumour, and he still has a lot to do in my eyes in order to not view this as a bit of a wasted signing. But it's official and I'll back him as much as I did Blythe, who I was equally sceptical about. If it keeps Matty out of the second row and out in the centre then it's a big plus.

Re: Bulls sign World Cup Star : Tue Oct 29, 2013 1:00 pm  

I can see why he has signed him, but at the same time I hope this doesn't stunt the development of the like of Roberts and Mellor. They are both wayyy down the pecking order now.

Ahh, honesty, I like it.

Looking like a decent squad. Only question i would have re that team would be Addy, he misses a lot of tackles to be starting at LF, maybe Donaldson would be a better option?
