Steve Price is the best prop in the world, I would sign him for a one year deal with a second year mutual option depending on his fitness. Someone on this board criticised me for saying for us to sign Price, saying he is too old.

I believe that old saying 'If your good enough your old enough' should work both ways, 'If you good enough your young enough' look at Stanley Gene, Stacey Jones, Ruben Wiki. I wouldnt care if Price was 40 if he was still playing like he does I would stil sign him.

Keep Tommy on as a 9 or let him go?

After last nights performance at hooker I would keep him and move him to 9.

Harsh on McIlorum but out of the two Tommy is better.

why lynch? hes good yeah but is getting on now.

As long as he can still do a job for you who cares?

Steve Menzies is 35 but is one of Bradford's best players.

Ruben Wiki would have been a fantastic signing this season and he would have been 35.

Andy Lynch is only 30 which is around the right age for a prop.

Thought the exact same thing myself, his and our games both go up to another level when he fits in at 9.

Tommy has good ball distribution, excellent broken field running, he's quick and hard to put down and his short kicking game is up there with all the other hookers in SL. If that isn't a skill set that's made for nine I don't know what is?

Riddell and Tommy as our interchange hookers is the best we’ve had since Newton & Godwin in fact it could even be better cause Tommy is better than Godwin.

He's 35 but still playing well, Luke Bailey could be available next year and he's only 29.

If he felt he was up to it I would agree

What do you think about Luke Bailey?

I think Tommy will be our 7 for this season and next season so McIlorum will have more than enough time to prove his worth but if he doesn't we should definitely keep Tommy on as replacement 9 instead
