Put on some height and size too over the past year with the Bulls. Wouldn’t be shocked to see him feature in a Cup game or at least a friendly or two first!

Saying we will finish 8th with Leigh 2nd, is rather eccentric.
Agreed, 10th and 1st is much more realistic!
Seriously, I would be ecstatic if we managed 5th - although places are definitely up for grabs, after Toronto, Toulouse, Widnes and 'Fax. I would also expect you and York to have a good season.

Ridyard is the stand out, but the rest? Bracek & Thornley from Swinton who finsihed bottom last year? Higham who I believe has come out of retirement. A fair few young kids from SL clubs. They've no FB and only 1 HB with the season 6 weeks away. We know all from experience how hard it is for young players week in week out in this league. 27 game regular season plus the CC and/or 1895 Cup
Leigh for 2nd is a rather silly prediction, but they do have 3 HBs in Ridyard and Josh Woods, and cover in Oliver Russel on loan from Huddersfield. They also now have a FB.. McNally

To be honest, I think McNally has been pretty underwhelming so far in a Bulls shirt so if allowing him to go frees up some space for further strengthening it might be a good deal for all parties. I’m sure he is a better player than we have seen though and he was named as our number 1 in the squad numbers so must have been in Kears plans for 2019.

Yep, I've already said I'm not fussed if he goes. He'll be on a wedge and missed far too much of last season. Kear brought him back for the home game against York and he had a shocker.
Seems weird because you'd assume McNally would be on a FT contract with us, but Leigh are PT next year. So unless he's got some other business interests which mean a PT contract would be more in his favour, you'd have to wonder at the move

Think it could be more because of his wife being ill and with them living in leigh it would make sense him being closer,if his wife would be full of health I'm sure he'd stay with u guys
