If it was true then..
Holdsworth
Chase
Whitehead or bateman
Taylor
And gaz ellis would improve any side in sl imo

Also think shannon mcdonnell isnt to shabby , arundle and crookes are good prospects too
I know,a couple are not on your list but looking at bigger picture

2 announced

6 to sign

2 more been chased (prop and halve)

1 more halve when ap slagged off Seymour.

So what do you have to say about Wigan's new halfback combination for next year in Matty Smith and Blake Green who if I'm not mistaken have played Super League this year for teams in the bottom half of the table?

Think most Wigan fans are a bit apprehensive & see it as a drop in quality don't they? If they were rumoured to be recruiting most of a team from the bottom end of the table I think they'd be more concerned.

I know it's petty and pedantic, but I can't help myself, sorry. It's half.

they're gonna be rubbish next year, obviously

but if it is implying more than one half would that make it plural?

or am i being petty and pedantic?

or wrong?

(couldn't resist, sorry)

plural of half is halves
not to be petty and pedantic

Way OTT, but halve is the process of dividing something in two, or to reduce by half. As a noun, it is 1 half, 2 halves.

I'm just a saddo and it would have bugged me if I'd not said.

So 11 players then including 2 halfs.

Just wrong.

The ironic thing is that my compulsion to point it out is very in line with your namesake/avatar.

Think Kyle Amor has signed for us, not sure if he is part of the six though.

My guess would be,

McDonnell
Crookes
Ellis
Arundal
Amor
Chase
Holdsworth
Whitehead
Brieley (spelling)
NRL prop.

If we had 8 players already signed and we were chasing a prop (Paea) and a halve (Chase) why would we now go for Amor? He's not in the same league.

Marshall, Thurston and C Smith all signed up watch this space.

Can see Bradford surviving and still being in Superleague next season, if thats the case the likes of Bateman and Whitehead wil not be available, as far as i am aware Mcdonnell is going back to Oz

I have been told from a very good source that Bateman will be a Hull fc player next season

I'm hoping they do.

I just want them announced so we can close the rumour thread. It's getting ridiculous now.

I don't think Galloway is coming and I neither will Bateman. We might get Whitehead but Leeds are interested.

McDonnell/Kearney
Crookes
Holdsworth
Chase
Amor
Another prop
Whithead (unlikely) or another backrow

Plus Ellis and Arundel

9 in.

Whitehead would be a fantastic signing. If he were to leave Bradford, as a Bradford lad and a Bradford fan, surely Leeds wouldn't be his first choice of club?
I haven't seen much of Amor but the Wakey fans rate him very highly indeed and they also think that he is coming here next season.
Another big and established no-nonsense prop is a huge priority IMO.

Hope so

If we have a chance of either of them ,which would be the preference?

Bateman or Whitehead?

I've always thought Whitehead but I have seen a lot more of him than Bateman.

I think the nailed on ones are:

Chase
Holdsworth
Crookes
Amor
Bateman

I get the feeling the others will come out of left field a bit. A couple of NRL players that we havn't mentioned.

I really can't see Bateman coming, he won't leave Bradford unless he's forced out.

Bradford won't be in Superleague next year. Bateman won't be wanting to play Championship 1.
