[iThe Bulls head coach said the four-week loan deals stemmed from his close working relationship with Warrington boss Tony Smith, which brought Matty Blythe and Ben Evans to Odsal last season.

Cummins said: “I was speaking to Tony about these lads who were training full-time but haven’t made Warrington’s pre-season trip to Australia.

“There was an opportunity for them to come and join us for a month, train full-time, play in our friendlies and then who knows? They’ll probably go back to Warrington but we’ll see where we are and there could be scope for a longer stay perhaps. "[/i

Perfectly good business, Cummins speaks well in that article and seems more focused on adding youngsters to the squad rather than talk about people leaving. The more we stumble from problem to problem and the more I hear from Cummins, the more I think how lucky we are to have kept such a guy as our coach when no-one would have blamed him or indeed any of the players for leaving, there must be something positive within the group. He's level headed, talks sence, understands the problems and always seems to look for the positive - we could do a hell of a lot worse. (and on the pitch next year he only needs to get us to 12th next year in reality!) Just as long as whoever is running the club backs him up and keeps him in the loop.

Agreed - we have been fortunate to have had two very focused and professional coaches who have got on with their jobs in the last few seasons when we have endured all the off field distractions.

I'm glad Wire are helping rather than cherry picking, seem to recall we did the same when Wakefield were in the poo as well.

Is signing these three young chaps a result in missing out on our preferred candidates during administration and letting a number of our prospects slip through the net, Cockerham, McAvoy, Elliot etc etc? Not saying it is just wondering peoples thoughts?

If we were that bothered about McAvoy, they could have probably re-signed him.

He's been released by Leeds now and I think he's back at one of the Cumbrian sides (I forget which).

Real shame about Liam McAvoy,very good player and nice lad.Back playing part time back home,would of liked to of seen him come through at Odsal

Yes but we released him then Leeds so unfortunately both clubs didn't see enough in him to keep him. It needs more than just being a nice lad unfortunately. The three lads coming from Wire shows there are plenty of youngsters around who can't get into first team rugby which means that only the best will be retained by clubs.

Leeds didn't release Liam,he turned down the new contract offer.Did Bulls release him or did he refuse contract offer to go to Leeds,not sure on that one
