Well if he is coming back, then he will already be back in training with the Bulls by then!

Dunno anything about that tbh, I'm basing it on snippets from here and there, mainly Aussie sources, but I've not heard anything about the Storm.

From a very reliable source he is defiantely coming back, a little behind in rehab will be back in time for pre season training 110%

I hope this is true and he is also made captain for next season.

Lynch is a great captain - always leads by example.

No reason to change imo.

forget him...he ain't coming back

Yes he is.

What are you basing your post on.

You fed it.

gut instinct


i remember when it was announced that he had signed a 2 years deal (or was it 3years?) i told all of you that you'll be lucky if he saw out his second season....its on the VT somewhere..


like i said he's gone.....you lot should be pleased,he's bearly good enough for city-country let alone origin or the kangaroos and should never have been brought over @ 32.

He was brought over at 31, there's plenty of players who aren't good enough for Origin but are good SL players - Pat Richards???? And also he's the best SH in the league when fit.


And he'll be back in November!

if he's no good at 32 how do you explain the fact that we where 4th in the table before he got injured?

Great, now we have an Oldham fan who knows everything telling us all about Super league and NRL players!!!

No. We have a TROLL (one of the dumbest to date) reeling in the gullible fishes.

"Oh look mummy, a troll! Can I feed it? Please Mummy? Can I? It looks really hungry Mummy?"

Spot on. Why on Earth would you ever, ever bring a player over at 32?! I mean players of that age, are disgustingly past it. Oh hang on, who's this fella?

I agree basically, but the problem with a prop as skipper is that he isn't on the field for half the game. Whether that's a big enough 'but' to change things I dunno. Though, there's no reason to think Potter will just go along with Macca's last year decision on who will be captain.

Maybe Orford as vice captain and then they'll virtually share the job?

Langley is vice-captain and is usually on the pitch for 80 minutes.

I dont think Lynch is a good captain. Never seems to get them going.

I've seen him do it on quite a few occasions this season.

I'll trust Potter though, if he thinks Orford or Langley or someone else will do it better then so be it.

i was actually waiting for someone to bring up menzies.....manly legend,NSW legend,australia legend,top tryscorer in the australian game...

he earned and deserved the option to say you know what i'll go to england and carry on...and he's performed fantastically since arriving at bradford...he's a credit to the game and the ultimate RL pro.....so don't go campare matt orford with steve menzies.


if he comes back....i'll donate £20 to steve prescott's charity

I always got the impression Lynchy was to quiet and placid with his players. Not sure about anybody else but when I play, I usually respond better to a captain that barked instruction, so long as they led by example aswell. Lynch does lead by example, but I'm not sure if he has other attributes which make him captain material.

Yeah but you thought England were going to win the world cup and had a forward pack that could live with their Ausie counterparts.

Fair enough.

You could be right, and if Potter thinks we need a change then that's fair enough.

Good to see money put where your mouth is, good on you.

And quoted now so we have proof

From what I've heard you'll be lucky to get Lynch and Orford to share the same dressing room
