Someone who wants to play for Bradford and has ambition for his team to do well. Hope the season goes well for him

Losing Clough, Clark, Sidlow & Kavanagh, I was a little worried about our prop options this year. Peltier & Magrin's performances at Huddersfield, along with Kirk to a slightly lesser extent, gave me a little confidence back. We still need a couple more, but certainly we're not as short of quality as I thought we were in that department.

Certainly do need at least two more props. At the moment we have two bona fide props in Peltier and Magrin and one young kid in Kirk. Roche can play there as back up but he's really a second rower. That's nowhere near enough. Ideally all four will be in any 17 we pick and will likely get injured/tired at some stage.

I remember us being light up front in 2014 and we got stuffed regularly as a result. Strengthening the pack has to be Toovey's no 1 priority.

He could ask Chev Walker to fill in again

I hope that Foster and Phil Joseph have re-signed, I also hope there is a few more coming in from left field,
can we now sign Aussies? or will there be Visa issues??

Toovey did talk about young/fringe players not NRL stars so hopefully have something up his sleeve but said he wasnts to assess whats needed first

We should get cleared for foreign players soon. It didn’t take that long after Admin 2 before we signed the likes of Davies, Mullaney, Lauaki and Uaisele.

Ensuring the imports have the required number of senior appearances to qualify for a visa may present some challenges. Mind you if Karl Davies could get a visa then anyone can.

And Todd Carney for Salford. Assuming there were no brown envelopes involved in that particular application. But obviously that's not related to appearances...

I would think the Amber Rudd of her day probably thought "they're absolutely decimating the Mackay junior leagues here and there has to be some kind of reason for it" and it just got bounced through on the strength of that.

Hopefully Unlike the Ferres master strokes, Toovey will actually know the said players and they will be ok..
Unlike Ferrets technique of throwing a dart in an Aussie phone book,

If I understand it correctly, prior two admins we were able to transfer the license to apply for visas to the new holding company. This time we have to re-apply for the license from scratch as we're a totally new legal entity. So will take a few weeks longer.

Not sure but I think RFL can act as sponsors for visas which could help.

Maybe I`m being thick (don`t answer that) but if the players signed from Australia have to wait and get visas, how come Toovey can walk straight into the job, does this rule only apply to players?

We won't see many from Down Under. Toovey has said he wants to work with local resources.

We have been crafty he's hear on a holiday visa he can't officially have any involvement with the club yet.

Great. Can't wait till the border patrol pick him up at Cougar Park sunday and deport him.
Will probably be on TV in a couple of weeks.

Unless he is sat in the stand with his shades and budgie smugglers on...

Not in the BMDC it won't, what's one more illegal in the mix, he'll only get caught if found in the kitchens of certain restaurant's!
