New arivals to be anounce in the morning acording to the latest press release from the club

Wonder if its a couple of the younger players Mark Dunning referred to in a recent interview.

Wish Sam well. Gave his all for the club but I don't see this as big a loss as some are making out. For me if everyone's fit he doesn't make the 17 IMHO.

I agree
If we do sign Hampshire we can rotate Lilley at Hooker when injuries occur.

Hallas leaving shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone as it's been rumoured for ages. Good luck to him. He's always given 100% for us.

Just wonder if the Hampshire rumour is a journalist putting 2+2 together and coming up with 5.

Anyone else quite surprised by some of the signings that Championship clubs are pulling off? I thought this division was meant to be skint?

Maybe going PT is better financially for some with the SL reduced contract. That garden of roses Lenegan, Elstone etc promised us turned out well didn't it.

It does feel like we've either modestly improved or stood still. Against a backdrop of some good people coming in at Fax etc, I'm a bit concerned with where we are in the pecking order at the moment.

I think our big issue was strength in depth - we seem to be largely solving that especially if we manage to get Hampshire and another SR in - I think we should be a fair bit stronger and healthier in that regard and will make a massive difference

If we get Hampshire and another forward or two then we do look stronger than last year. That said, the opposition has strengthened too. Fev and Leigh will be the top two and Fax look a lot stronger. Newcastle will expect to be in the top four or five with what they're spending. Batley and Whitehaven will be up there too and they had the beating of us last year.

Different spine and more forwards could well prove the difference! Hopefully! That’s why champ is a great comp though!

Looks like that signing was 2 lads from Leeds: https://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/article/1243/bulls-in-double-rhinos-swoop
