Probably a daft question but who's Kirk? Apologies if I'm being dim again.

Academy lad Liam Kirk. One of the six that were awarded first team contracts a few weeks ago. Never seen him play myself but have read he is a prop.

With him, Peltier and Magrin being fairly young i'd like to see one more experienced prop to complete the set.

Kavanagh is starting to impress me now he has had a decent run of games.

Cheers. I assumed that it was one if the academy lads but his name wasn't mentioned on the players list for next year that I found. Must have been an old list.

From today's T&A article:

"Head coach Smith, who is also believed to be eyeing moves for two more props in Ben Evans and Scott Wheeldon, said: "Ross has got a point to prove."

If we got both of them I would be very happy with our set of props for next year.

I particularly like the quote that Ross would play for Bradford for free.

Exactly what we need, players with passion for the club.

Given our heavily rumoured financial problems, what we actually need is players who will play for free

Agreed. Definitely like to see Evans at 13 to give us some size. Hoping we can get Philbin too. Wheeldon will provide some depth. Hoping Rohan can pull a Moss/Chisholm quality prop/ from the NRL.

Liking sound of Peltier more and more. at 6ft 4, he won't be a shrinking violet. Looks like our lack of size issue will be sroted next year. Feeling optimistic.


Kavanagh
0B
Sidlow
Walton
Haggerty
Evans.

Thats a decent sized pack with plenty of graft.

Magrin/Wheeldon/Peltier.

6ft 4 is Liam Kirk according to Bulls site.

He's a unit.

Re: Bulls sign Ross Peltier : Tue Sep 06, 2016 4:55 pm  

I can look at his physical attributes and his more than welcome statement of intent in the T&A and even factor in coach Smith's talk of him being one for the future, but is it just me, or does anyone else wonder, given the way we're discussing Ross here, why he has struggled to get a game for Keighley? Who if I may remind everyone, are in the league below us.

Re: Bulls sign Ross Peltier : Tue Sep 06, 2016 5:02 pm  

Because they never have the ball, and so go-forward forwards aren't required.
