Sean isn't in the London 19.

My prediction is Oxford to win if the dual reg lads are around.

You've got 4 players from Bradford, Matty Blythe has joined you guys on dual reg like Petersen.

A couple more new names appear in the online proggie. One way or another there's a pretty big restructure going on. Sadly the early performances meant it was necessary.

Think this will be close, but high scoring for both sides. I'm saying Oxford by 8.

That's exactly what I came on here to post! Interesting also that the programme does not mention Ian Clark at all.


Some information about the three known new players:

Matty Blythe - second row. Has a little Super League experience at Warrington, as well as for Bradford last season. Also played for Leigh on loan. Just back from injury so I doubt if we will see him too many times before he gets into the Bradford squad.

Mark Barlow - wing, half-back or hooker from All Golds. Previous clubs Wakefield (including one Super League appearance), Dewsbury, Halifax, Batley, York.

Danny Thomas - scrum half. Was with All Golds last season playing almost every game, but left at the end of the year to become coach of Bradford Dudley Hill (the club that Nathan Kitson came from). Not sure if he's combining both rules. Has also played for Jamaica.
