Might be on with some decent 3/4s from the academy with this Culling and Brining in the next couple seasons. Hopefully keep them.

Brining and Shackleton will move up to the 19s. Both England players already. As John Bastian told me the only way they won't make it is if they choose not to.

Fair comment. It's pleasing to see that we've never stopped producing talent despite the destruction and down grade in league status.

DAVID Foggin-Johnston, 1 year deal

22 year old winger from Hunslet

Mikey Wood added.

Just looking at our confirmed squad for next year, we don't appear to have any overseas players in that line up.

That must make us pretty rare for RL in this country

Jake Webster.

You're right, my mistake.

But still, 1 player out of a team is still a rare statistic for modern RL.

Also gives us room to manoeuvre if we're are looking for additional overseas players to boost the team

Given the article quoted elsewhere saying we'd have 36 players for next year and the currently list only having 33 (and that's on the assumption that all players listed are considered 1st team and not a mix of 1st and junior) we should be seeing at least 3 more players join us.

Hitchcock would be an obvious crowd pleaser.
Possibly a new deal for Chisholm but given the players we've already got confirmed it looks like he may possibly be leaving us.
For the 3rd, I wouldn't mind seeing us bring in another forward, just so we can better spell the props we have

Dane Chisholm

Actually, yes I think Chisholm is still contracted for 2019 - [url=https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/15540730.Chisholm_signs_two-year_contract_extension_with_Bulls/Link to T&A[/url

Dane tweeted himself it was only a 1 year deal. The T and A said recently he was offered a new deal too.

Jy Hitchcock is Australian

pickersgill is missing from the list on page one

has anyone heard anything of goodall? hes not listed on the squad page of the bulls official site

Updated to include Pickersgill. Goodall was at the Workington game.

Speaking to somebody that reckoned Goodall will play a big party next season.

Does he also do weddings and bar-mitzvahs?

Let's not turn this into a race issue







Edit, put me on ignore. It's late in the day, I read it wrong. My bad.

I thought Goodall looked a handful in preseason last year. Hopefully we'll see more of him this year

Well we're looking a decent team for 2019. Still could do with perhaps a little more steel in the forwards, but I feel we'll win more than we lose next year

I think the forwards look ok now. Plenty of depth.

List updated to include Chisholm.

See for me we could do with one more big prop I just don’t feel Kirk and Wilson are 100% ready not for championship imo

I thought Kirk really came of age in the last few games of the season. Wilson I think is only 7th choice so will only get a handful of games.

Kirk played championship in 2017. He will be 2 years older than that next season. Not the finished article but a real work horse. As well as him there's Crossley, Green, Peltier, Bustin and Magrin. Prop is one area we seem to have well covered imo.
