I am relatively happy with our backs as we still have George and Blythe to come in. I would like to see George as he is big and is very quick. But who do you drop?
Kearney and Addey are cover at the halves with Kear / Foster cover at full back.
I would throw any money we have at two or three tough forwards. Two props for me. I would take Mason on a one year deal with possible extension. The deal with Mexico may be dead as wouldn't he be here by now?
We still have one overseas slot. There must be a decent experienced forward down under who is warming the bench or not getting guaranteed place who fancies a couple of years living and working in the "pearl" of Yorkshire. Lets phone the contacts we have down there to see if they know of someone.
I am sure Franny and the current directors saw us lose yesterday because we lost the battle in the middle. Something has to be done quickly but we are only a couple of new players short along with getting Ferguson fit. Three extra (tough) forwards yesterday would have made a big difference.

Also, to add on Keith Mason, would he have had any sort of pre-season? I doubt it. That's a big risk looking for a prop who's had months away from full-time training.

I dunno if this is contradictory but I stiil think we should be banging down the door of Lee Jewitt.

What's Darrell Griffin up to these days?

I know he spent some time at Salford last year, did he go back to Leeds? Can't imagine he would be guaranteed a game at our arch rivals.

Lee Jewitt is a good call.

Actually we have three overseas spots available. One full one and two non fed trained (kolpak) ones. Non fed trained quota was increased from 5 to 7 this year.

So, Mason it is then? hopefully we can get him in before Thursdays game and bring him off the bench for a short spell..

All this is totally unbelievable! Have you all learnt nothing? Bradford is skint. No money! More players cannot be afforded! Let's stop going bust!

Afforded? Is that even a word.
