McNally left Bradford as he couldn't take the risk of being 1hr+ (when the M62 is behaving...) away from home in case of family emergency.
Morally it was the right thing to do to release him from his contract, but it definitely left us with a problem at FB for the season, which we struggled to fill tbf. Class player.

The hybrid squad option of both p/t and f/t can work well. Fulltimers come in early afternoon for conditioning work, a joint field session once the p/t lads come in after work, then the F/t go home and the P/t do their conditioning. Bulls seem to do this twice a week, with an additional day with just the fulltimers.

Are people being preferred at fullback before him or is it a matter of getting him fully fit for the playoffs, as others could cover ?
For me he is the only choice at fullback if he is fit.
