No. Those 26 player? Prospect Warriors.

Prospect Warriors? Was that the outfit from Sheffield that Shipley played - must be 20 years ago. As I recall they were huge lads but utterly clueless. They played in trainers and one of em thought it was legal to punt the ball over the posts to score a drop goal. I even scored a rare try as I recall. Happy days

We put 96 on them IIRC and even I got a stroll in in the corner.... Much to Corner Bob's displeasure

This is one that doesn't bother me. The club is back that's all that matters.

Who doesn't bother me too much. But after recent events I'm not 100% convinced that anybody is...

I don't remember us ever scoring that many. We'd have been knackered doing that many half lengths of the field.... What year would it have been. 1997 -98?

From Barnsley IIRC

As amazing as it is to end up with Toovey as coach, there is just that nagging concern that he doesn't have any experience either of English RL or - perhaps more importantly - the brutal dogfight that is the bottom end of the Championship.

I hope that we'll rectify that by looking at an Assistant Coach who really knows the scene. Scott Naylor is a name that immediately comes to mind. Probably wouldn't want to leave Oldham to be an Assistant - but someone of that ilk, with contacts and experience in and around our level.

What we don't need, IMO, is some guy that Toovey brings over from Oz who knows as little about the situation as he does...

Also, what happened to the announcement of a CEO who 'will bring a new level of professionalism' that Ross was tweeting about?

strong rumours of Robbie Paul being involved in some capacity.

He should be too. He is as through-and-through Bulls as any of us.

Indeed. And from the only real inside source I have ever had or am ever likely to have, was the person stopping the wheels from totally falling off up until he left.

I remember him more as Justin Bieber with a rugby brain. He wasn't good enough to keep his choir boy looks, unlike the best scrum half's.
