Too little too late. They won't change the way the Team is playing, that's got to come from above. A constant trickle of new Players in and out of the Squad isn't what's needed to help us.

Arundel should be ahead of Yeaman at Hull imo. Although with the signing of Sa now imminent they could both find themselves out of the team. He hasn't really been given a fair crack with no real run in the team but he has potential.

Pitts is a very talented forward with a great skill set. LF is his best position, but with Westerman playing really well at Hull he has only really been used in the front row, and with Paea, Carvell, Bowden, Watts, Feka, Green and Thompson all ahead of him his chances are going to be very limited. I think if Arundel does well he will find he has a future at Hull, Pitts, unless we have a big injury crisis, has probably played his last game for us, which is a shame because I really like him. He just lacks a bit of size.

If we can get Pitts for the season I would be very hapy as he could play in his preferred position of back row/LF. Burke should be back from injury anytime soon and Wane said as soon as he is fit he will return for us. With the way Wigan are playing we could hopefully keep him for season.

We've already got Pitts for the season. But after first month hull have a recall option.

Re: New Signings : Sat Apr 26, 2014 4:32 pm  

We need 2 props for definite but time is quickly evaporating, burke and mulally back would be a great start plus 1 more is what we need but its far to late IMO, we may win a few more games but i think we will be short, so im just going to try and enjoy what remains of the season.

Who knows a shock win over Catalan tomorrow maybe the tonic we need.

Re: New Signings : Sat Apr 26, 2014 4:36 pm  

I can't see Mulally coming back. But still a reasonable forwar pack of Nas, Fakir, Sidlow, Pitts
And Burke.

I wasn't particularly interested in the CC and I won't be devastated if we lose tomorrow but I think we need a good performance tomorrow for the teams confidence. A victory seems unlikely but it might just give the players the lift they clearly need.

Agree about no interest in CC. Worst thing thay could happen tomorrow is playing poorly but being a close game and coaching staff thinking everything is ok. The two results from Wigan and Leeds could be a good thing as it gives everyone at the club a rocket that things need changing.

MANAGING DIRECTOR Steve Ferres is urging supporters to get behind Francis Cummins' men on Sunday as Bradford Bulls welcome Catalan Dragons to The Provident Stadium, in round five of the Tetley's Challenge Cup.

“It would be fantastic to see a strong crowd getting behind the boys on Sunday, in what is a very important game for the club,” said Ferres.

I think it's about time the Team gave the fans something to get behind! Show us some Pride and fight for each other.

Can't see it being anything BUT a trickle to be fair, and what's worse, with loanees it could be like a revolving door.

None of us knows what money is available but it is a fact that there are few players available to sign and probably even fewer [thinking mainly about overseas players here] who would want to commit to a club in our position. There may be the odd one or two, I guess, and hopefully the pieces will fall our way - but I'm not holding my breath.
