Burgess or Manuokafoa, preferably Burgess, to fill one of our prop spots.

Bateman or Whitehead, preferably Bateman, for the backrow (especially if the Tickle rumours are true).

If we hadn't have signed Arundel, I would have liked Lulia but we have Yeaman, Arundel and Crooks all signed for next season.





Out of interest, where has this been said?

Whitehead , Lulia , Bateman , Kopczak , Burgess.

where has he said that??

Humberside

1725 Sports report.His very own words.

just "listened again" and Pearson wasn't on it, McRae was and said nothing about Bradford??

He was on the one I heard.

just saying, I used the listen again and McRae was on, not AP.

Back row - Ellis, Westerman, Whiting. If we lose Tickle, we could definitely do with Whitehead and/or Bateman.

Centre - Yeaman, Arundel, Crooks. Could possible do with another back-up, but would Lulia come to be a back up? Doubt it.

Prop - Lynch, Pitts, Watts, Bowden. Definitely need some strength and depth in there. Hopefully we'll get Paea. I'd take Elima for experience, and certainly Burgess for his potential. Don't think we'd need Kopczak.

It was AP on the sports updates since dinner. Bomber was yesterday.

the date is the 28th, which is the date on the broadcasts I listened again to.

Adam Pearson was on Radio Humberside about 1.10pm. this afternoon, whether is was a recording or live I do not recall. He spoke about Hull's interest in Bradfords players as well as other aspects concerning Bradfords present situation.

I'd go for Bateman,Whitehead and Kopczak, and also if there are any stars in their 18's especially at halfback, also i'd recruit their youth scout.
Burgess looks set to join his brothers at Souths
I'd let Tickle go to Widnes for a fee at the end of the season, it does appear he favours a move to Lancashire to be near his family,signing both the Bradford backrowers,would give us more stability in the long term.

I heard it and it was Pearson on the 5:25 bulletin. He said we would be interested in Bradford players if they became available.

I think there might be higher bidders for Bateman and possibly Whitehead.

I've said it before,lynch will be have a big bearing on us signing players from the bulls

Hopefully Lynch will have some influence, but I have a feeling money and trophy potential will have more influence! Leeds will be very keen to upgrade their aching squad with some strong youngsters, and that's a lot closer to where they are.

I don't, not because we have more money but because we have a greater need.

I'd like to think the Ellis signing would give us an edge when it comes to the signing of Bateman or Whitehead. Surely the chance to play with and learn off of one of the best 2nd rowers about would be a massive draw to both of them?

Wire put in a massive bid for Bateman already and they have a better accountant.

how do we know Arundel's going to be first choice? He'd develop better being a fringe player imo, I know he's a regular at Cas but, it's better to be a fringer at a better club (no disrespect) than a regular at a lower one, Stefan Ratchford has done this with his move surely

Yeah, but at Warrington he'd have players such as Waterhouse and Westwood to learn from, who are also brilliant players and internationals, so they will be draws too.

but we are a nicer Club

Well I think we are
