After MM, I wouldn't touch him, never really thought he was a good player and, my is he ugly. A no go imo.

I was watching Bramley win on Sunday and I think half their players could get in the Bulls squad at the moment, particularly the kicker and full back.

That explains it. Thanks for that, I've often wondered if that was the case.

When we announced we'd signed Gregg ,loads of Bulls fans were saying he was sh!te and they didnt want him, bet they wished they had now !

Not me. From day one, I've said he'd be a quality signing. I'm sure had he signed for us, those same people who said he isn't good enough would be proclaiming him the new messiah. Such is the fickle nature of most fans.

Spot on. The last player Mac wants is the only player on the pitch at MM to be fired up enough to win it for Leeds. If you refuse to sign players because they score against the Bulls from an offside position you will soon be running out of options according to some on here.
I've never rated him either tbh, but he has got unchanelled enthusiasm in a Karl Pratt sort of way.

duffy at widnes

no loving chance, JD is another who prefers to play part time as he has a good job outside of the game.

but seriously look at wakey, kear has recruited well from the NL with the likes of blaymire, blanch, grix and wilkes. and look at wilkin and gardner at saints, there are quality players in the NL but most clubs appear all to eager to sign any old antipodean instead. mark smith at widnes is also an excellent player as is james webster.............

Thats the one lad I was thinking of too, could certainly do a job at super league level if you ask me.

When Widnes went down he was almost out of work - could never understand it.

Add Ian Kirke and Andy Raleigh to that list. Neither are world beaters, but both came from the National League and do a job at least the equal of a lot of the ageing antipodeans that turn up here.
