Like everyone else I am really pleased with the signings and retentions made by the club so far. It's bringing a real feelgood factor back to the club at long last.

Who else would we like to sign (be realistic) and who do we think should be let go?

Personally I would have liked to have seen more of Jordan Andrade, I think he has the attributes to be a decent prop.

Thoughts?

Personally I can see Milton going Minchella moved to loose and another 2nd row... Andrade could take him or leave him but if he can’t train he can’t play simples

Id also like another senior prop

I think we’re ok for props but if a big nasty championship prop was available I wouldn’t say no.

Crossley
Bustin
Green
Peltier
Wood
Kirk
Magrin
Wilson


There’s a fair amount of competition there, although Wood may be seen more as a 13.

Prop, 2 backrowers, Centre, Utility 3/4

thought Andrade had already been let go a while back?

think wood and halas will be sharing loose forawrd with minichella storton two main 2nd rowers so we probably need at least one more 2nd rower, although some of props could fill in there. another experienced prop wouldnt go amiss as while we have plenty of number there beyond peltier and crossley thetir all relatively inexperienced. Probably another needed if Oakes is going as has been rumured. And either Chisholm re-signed or a replacement.

What happened to Evan Hodgson? He looked a useful prospect for second row last season, and hasn't been seen at all this season.

I'd like one more aggressive prop (someone in the Sironen mould) and an aggressive back-rower

I would like an aggressive prop to cover for injuries and rotation.

I must say, bulls must be spending some real ££££££ for next season with the signings we have made already

I really don't think we're spending "serious" money. A lot of the squad are still PT.

We have 22 full time players and 16 part time so more full time than part now

Evan was involved at the recent Academy presentation night. I think he's been the u19 captain this year, so he's still very much on the scene. You're right though, he hasn't been with the First team at all. Hopefully he's still in the plans for next year. Very promising player.

Pretty much this. Despite the numbers i still think we are 2 or 3 shot in the pack.
And i mean established players at this level.
We have quite a few young kids who last season was their first full season and it was only league 1 agaist the pub teams.

We need a couple who have been there and done it in my opinion, which in turn will bring on the likes of Wood Kirky Bustin Storton even more.

From what I understand he has had a long term injury

He's been leading the U19s to a sixth-place finish in the Academy Championship.

He's now too old to play at that level, so will be playing in the reserves/first team next season.

Keep seeing people talking about Sironen. Shows how much impact he actually made during his short spell. Would be amazing if he would ever be tempted to come back, and also to see him in a side that could get on the front foot rather than the situation we were in

Does anyone know if we still have Bustin for definite this year... I thought he was only on a season long loan?

No we 100 percent signed him

No we 100 percent signed him
