So is this almost some good news? I think I may go for a lie down.

Good start to our rebuild of the front row. Welcome Jamal!

Short of flashing mega-bucks this is as good a signing as any of us could possibly wish for.

Indeed, and I love the extra touch of Elliot Kear rooming with Jamal "FA" Kear.

How come Elliot gets stuck with him? I hope they are sharing the food shopping bills.

Rather hoping he shares Elliot's work rate and enthusiasm - if so should prove a good addition for the Bulls

As a signing, it genuinely is as good as I could have expected. A seasoned international second rower with some real grunt. Fakir clearly isn't finished with the game as if he was fed up, why would he have signed, and assuming he is even in reasonable shape and form, then he would still be as good or better a forward than the majority in SL. Add to that our dearth of props and resulting struggle to get on a roll in any given game, and he is twice as valuable to us.

Wonder how come nobody else signed him up?

Very happy with this signing

Do hope some other clubs are ok we have made a signing

A good signing for us in our present predicament, he will have a point to prove to Catalan.

For the record,Jamal Fakir will make his debut for Wakefield in their Good Friday clash with Cas

Very good.

Very good signing considering who is available during this period of the season.

Good signing , nice to read some positive bulls news

According to Joe Tamani,on a Sydney Rooster forum it says Luke O'Donnell could be heading our way.Not seen it myself but he claims it's there

He retired last year didn't he?

Now that guy was a penalty machine!

Yes, [url=http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/sydney-roosters-unlikely-to-recall-luke-odonnell-as-nrl-cover-20140402-zqpsl.htmlthough it appears he regrets it[/url.

Nosy Parker in The Sun linking us to Shannon McDonnell as well, can't remember anybody starting that rumour on here.He must be getting his "info" elsewhere at the moment

Isn't O'Donnell the only bloke Ryan Bailey got the better of in a fracas?*

*Excluding that poor student (but there was 3 of them onto the student).

Good link, and review of last seasons is good: played 20 brought experience to the pack for a modest wage is a fitness fanatic. could make an impact if interested in us. Two old two new one borrowed one...then one flew. Fakir Odonnel Nas Sid and Mulally should be able to do the job of beating enough of the bottom clubs to keep us up. if not banned/injured!

In with a shout for Origin this year so there's no way.

I used to play the Sims, and confirm that they are very good although you can get bored of them.

I understand the feeling was mutual...

You've never played it, have you. The Sims give you unconditional love, and total obedience, as long as you are perceived to be looking after them, but will desert you in droves if they think you are doing a bad job. Having maxed the size of my cities, I was clearly a deity to my Sim plebs and I bet they speak wistfully of my time in charge yea verily even now.
