Connor? Neither. He has said it is an Aussie, and should be confirmed within a week or so.

So far, what Connor HAS said fits the bill.

Bulls4champs2010 is currently trying to tweak a bit more out of him by asking if he is "a big unit"? - Purtell certainly is that - 6ft 4 apparently...

Potter has said that this Aussie wont be the last signing, so it looks like he's looking at some British Super League players, who's out of contract over here who could make a difference to our team ? I assume we wont be buying anyone.

Did he say that before or after the crusaders dispensation



Also if Sammut becomes off quota, we can sign two overseas players instead of just the one.

who is ooc over here then that is worthy of a look in ?

I would imagine that if there's more signings to come then they would be forwards. Assuming that we don't resign Walker, Ainscough and Royston that is.

i hope we resign royston and ainscough but I'm not so sure about walker

Watched him today versus the Cowboys where he scored 2 tries. He had a decent game, certainly built for a Bulls winger/centre.

Out of them i'd probably have Karl Pryce and Brett Ferres. They would be classed as home grown too.

Chris Riley from Warrington would do nicely aswell.

Rather sign luke george than riley personally. plenty of speed for lulia to get away

Quote ="Frosties."Here are all OOC players mate. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=497140'" Slim pickings to be honest Luke George is OK but is he really any better than Shaun Ainscough? To come to think of it, is Karl Pryce any more reliable and less injury prone than Chev Walker? I don't see a lot on the OOC list that would radically improve what we've got

Would snap Elliot Kear from crusaders. Speed to burn and looks the real deal.

Yes and Yes

You might have an argument on George over Ainscough, but I can remember when Pryce was here before. If you think Walker is injury prone... well... somebody only had to touch Karl Pryce and he was limping off injured

getting slated by his fans .. so obviously the "fans" see something they dont? .. Ive not seen him play but seems to fit into out team .. cant tackle and is slow! ..

Seems like the Panthers version of Paul Sykes!

I hear the club has been in talks with Karl Pryce. Could be balls but it's what I've been told.

Pryce 6''6, Purtell 6''4 and Lulia 6''4 that would give us some size in the 3/4.

Certainley would and it's what you need.

Now that Kear isn't going to be at Wakefield maybe Senior is running out of options and could be brought in for a season or two on the cheap?

Dont you think we have enough dead wood at the club!

Keith Senior is a massive improvement on what we have currently have in the centres.

Plus re-read my post I said "on the cheap" at the right price he'd be an asset to have around even if by some miracle we have two better centres ahead of him. Players do get injured now and again.

It will be confirmed this week - straight from Connor.

“@MurphyonBulls: Bit of positive news. Bulls set to confirm signing  of Penrith's Adrian Purtell this week.”
