It's almost a carbon copy. Two massive wingers providing go froward. Some large centres. A halfback with a good kicking game and a big set of forwards with impact on the bench with a crafty hooker playing off them.

Ah right see I said I wasn't aware how things really worked haha

Yep it is, just a inferior version.

I've always had an admiration for that sort of side.. i recall with fondness/hatred of the great bulls sides like that..

Like any team they have key players who they need to keep fit and getting Gareth Ellis back is so important to them. Even at times in matches he does plays it's noticeable when he's subbed off.

I know a sponsor of the Batley Bulldogs and prior to Walmsley signing for Saints from Batley I was told that it was a straight choice between us and the Saints for where he was signing

Walmsley was also a guest of honour at Headingley in a bid to entice him towards choosing us

I would hope that if he ever became available that we would again be in the market for him
He is just the type of meter making player that we urgently need during our transition

Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in the NRL.

Noticed Sutcliffe talking to Williams + Burgess after the game, Wigan his next destination?

2+2=5?

I noticed that too & wondered....

Hope not, he could well make a very good centre if we played him there on a regular basis
