We've signed crookes already and suspect maybe elima. Would be a poor return from the bradford meltdown if tehy're what we get out of them

I thought we were getting them at the end of the season , out of contract aren't they . He was on about taking advantage of there situation and acting like vultures , so I thought he meant getting one of there better players who is under contract . We're kind of free to get the ooc players anyway .

Only just made the step up.

Ryan and Bobby Wilson have been doing great at 20's considering they are eligible for 18's still. Rich Wilkinson, Matty Kingdom, Alex Starling have also done great. I'm sure these lads played 20's last year as well as playing in the 9's for two years running and there all only 18. Bobby is still only 17 I think as well! I'd rather see us focus on these because they are top players. Ryan an Richie played with Bateman at Yorkshire at youth level and he was quality then.

So the reason why the u18's are poop is because all their better players are already playing in the 20's?

Basically yeah. The best 18's have been playing 20's. A lot of 18's aren't good enough from what I've seen/heard.

Don't think so. if we'd signed one now it would have been announced

Good forward and leadership qualities for our young back. Aggressive too. Would be a good addition IMO.

Was speaking to my source who told me we had beaten the Bulls to Seymour a few days before it was announced and he said Crookes is already ours and suspects Whitehead and Kopczak are two more of the young players Pearson said are sorted for FC. He said we are in for Bateman like everyone is but he's off to Wire. Also Noble to be announced as their coach but that's already been mentioned on another thread.

I'd be happy with Kopczak as other Bulls fans I know rate him highly and I thought he looked decent for Wales last year in four nations from what I saw.
