It's been announced on the bulls' twitter feed tonight that a re-signing will be announced on the bulls website tomorrow morning.



Who do you think it will be? Who are you hoping it will be?



A new contract for Lulia or Kearney would be great news, but I'm worried it might just be a new deal for Chev

I saw a comment on the RAB facebook page that it was a Chev renewal. I wouldn't be too upset about Chev signing a new deal.

Tom Olbison is due one isn't he?

Completely underwhelming

He's contracted to 2014 according to the squad list thread.

Ok hasn't sacked the coach surely ??

Just ONE resigning to be announced?

So that's 1 from 8 first team squad players OOC 2013 if we include Kearney.

Would hope Donaldson Blythe or Lulia but will prob be Chev.



By the way after watching Lulias pass for Sammuts try against KR should convince any doubters we need to sign him. World class!

Wouldn't get too excited.

Olbison??? Big fecking wow. I bet we fought off loads of teams in order to keep him.



* Puts the Kleenex back in the cupboard *

Can't understand he's got a new improved deal when his contract didn't run out till end of next year



As Eddie says they can't of been loads of clubs knocking on the door asking about him

I'm happy with this resigning.



Impressed earlier this year, and shows we are commited to raising our own players.



decent news, imo

Though Donno was the only player to be re-signed? or am i mistaken.



We could do with a new defensive coach, dont think st helaire can cut it any more.

Donnos only one of eight or nine that are out of contract.

Ahh thought they had all re-signed maybe just haven't announced it yet

Personally, from what I have seen, I think he is rubbish.



Sign of the times I guess.

last few weeks he's been below par, but he was great at the start of the season. considering his age, this should be good news.



I'm starting to change my opinion on Donaldson too after watching the huddersfield game, he's the only player capable of tackling round the legs. his go forward has improved also.

To be fair, in the first few games of the season, Olbison was one of the stand out players. In in the last few that he, like the rest of the team, have gone backwards.



Walker was on fire the first few too, whats happend to him recently?

Afaik there's going to be some departures from the ooc players. Definitely not all re-signing.

Both players have been carrying injuries apparently.

Fair enough. I am happy to take your word for it. Have not seen it myself but I am not lucky enough to be able to see the team anywhere near as much as I would like.



I retract my comment and hope he goes on to prove me wrong.

Olbi has had a couple of bad games and was rightly dropped over it. But a couple of bad matches don't negate the great work he was doing before that. There's a reason he was keeping his place in the team and forcing the likes of Bateman to the bench.



He's quality and young. Don't let a little bit of bad form dominate the thinking.

Walker hasn't been right since he got concussed.

It's good to see the young players being supported imo, let's get a few more of them tied up. On the face of it, going with what FC said at the forum, our only chance of a 'truly outstanding' player at the club over the next couple of years is if one emerges from the current crop of younger lads. The promise is there so let's hope they kick on with their development since, if one were to do so, it would be a tremendous boost for the club.

Good news I reckon. We need to be holding onto our young lads and developing them, not just cast them off after a few poor games. He still has plenty of improvement in him but he works hard and I think he'll make a good SL back rower with time.
