Spot on Dilligaf, you can't leave out the context when coming up with "the best" signing. We badly needed a decent prop and we've signed an excellent one. It's top drawer, however you define it.

It's also a further example of how fortunate we were to have attracted Kear. His contacts in the game will be second to none, and it's clear when he picks up the phone the people who know him are very receptive to joining. In a way his positive reputation provides a bit of an antidote to our toxicity.

Key member of the squad to re-sign. Anyond have any ideas. Hope its Mikey Wood but seen some say on here he found somewhere else.

Joe Keyes would be nice. Ross Peltier?

Kirk?

Could we get Peltz back on loan from Donny?

Not beyond the realms of possibility is it? Contracts are barely worth the paper they're written on these days. Chisholm came back to the Bulls (albeit it took a bit longer than the off season to get him back, and in retrospect it was probably a bad move anyway).

Edit: I'd just like to point out that I have no basis for Peltier's return other than "who might be considered a key player". I'd hate for posters in Bradford Bulls Banter to use this post as evidence that Peltier's return is nailed on when the quality of my information (i.e. none) is as good as Soft Mick's.

It's Crossley.

That’s a bit harsh on Mick,”, he’s been going to the gym a lot more recently so he might be less soft these days...

Great to have Steve extending with us. Another battle hardened forward to lead us. Injuries will be the real key. If we can keep the best and brightest fit and on the pitch we should land mid table or similar to last season. If injuries bite then it will be a long long season.

It's good news, obviously but doesn't affect this season. Hopefully there will be more new signings or, at the very least, some of the loans/DR deals being agreed before long. We're already in training, so it's becoming more and more important as the days go by.

Hey, I’ve lost 6kg this past month.

I’ll echo the positive comments about Steve Crossley.

They’ll be more done and through the door later this week.

Do you know how many players are full time for the new season, and where training will take place,? I Believe Dewsbury have some all weather facilities which should be an advantage for the Bulls training.

Training will be, and already is, at Tong but who is full time I don't really know, though plenty will. Or, at least plenty will have an opinon.

From last season Jordan lilley was full time and will still be on the same contract, I guess. Brandon Pickersgill, SteveCrossley and Liam kirk I'd guess also, plus both the new, ex SL players, Johnson and England. Probably Rowan Milnes too, as he'll be fulltime at KR. I'm sure others will have more of an idea.

Bulls hoping for 6 players to come in according to the Q&A. Bull of them have to be in the forwards IMO

Unless something drastically changes, I expect that Mikey will be lining up against Peltz in League 1 next year. Been waiting for it to be announced but guessing the club he's agreed to join are drip feeding the new signings in like most clubs do nowadays.

Newcastle Thunder.

I thought Crowley turned down a full time deal as he works at a school?

Crossley was part time but I know he has left the school now,

Sam Barlow???

Evening all.
Had a few week off with not trying to get involved in anything, any discussions, any arguments, any listening or reading to anybody talking absolute tripe.
Still very bitter about some things. I guess things will not probably hit home till the season starts, or at least the friendlies.

Up to now we have sold less than 800 season tickets. Can we really go any lower? What has happened to our once great club.

Nigel Wood, hope you are happy with what you have done over the last 3 year

Sadly, it's hard to think anything other than the answer is probably yes, and we will. There really isn't much of a feel to me of stopping the downward spiral.

Having seen York's squad numbers and seeing they've left the number 3 shirt open, I'd be surprised if Keinhorst wasn't joining them. Especially considering there's been a good relationship over the last few years between KR and York.

Keinhorst on 80k at HKR .even if HKR paid half his wages it's still a big ask for most championship clubs.

It was reported somewhere earlier in the week that it was looking like he was going to join a Champ club though. Maybe only moneybags Leigh are in the running then. Maybe they'll ask the fans to stump up the money again...

I've heard we are starting an un-registered Lottery to cover his wages.
