Would be happier with addy at loose and Donno in the 2nd just to give us the option and on other kicking game.

Can't Henry also play at 6 sure I heard this elsewhere?

Yeah he's played in the halves before, not sure how many times or how successful he was though.
But with Gale, Sammut, Gaskell, Addy and even Kearney all capable of playing there, I'd say we'd have to be in some serious trouble injury wise before we see Henry at 6.

Agree with above I doubt we'll need to utilise Henry as a halfback. And if Purtell is selected at centre I would still want Blythe in the 17 - he runs the ball very hard.

They said the same about Ah Van when he first turned up over here.

Kearney, Kear, Blythe, Henry, Foster, Gaskell, Sammut, Scruton, Diskin, Carvell, Ferguson, Walker, Addy is what I would choose.


I think it will be more like this though.

Kearney, Kear, Blythe, Henry, Foster, Gaskell, Gale, Scruton, Disk in, Manese, Ferguson, Olbison, Walker

Sat 9th March 2013 V Illawara cutters plays at 6, 16th March shirt number 4 but in squad list at 6 likewise 14th April conversely 4th May shirt number 6 but on list at 4. rest of the season played mostly 2 or 4. those are from match details on the Jets website.
Wikipedia: primarily wing but can also play at centre and five eigths.
For some good centre play check out the youtube highlights video. In summary hes a 2- 5, 6 and 7 in emergencies (and no doubt 1).

But can he tackle?

I'm really hoping we sign Ben Evans, think he has some good potential. What we are doing with Warrington seems to somewhat similar to when Huddersfield took all those Wiganers who were on the cusp of their first team squad but just couldn't quite make it. They're good players and they've been developed well, which compliments our own development pathway and other outside signings.

.

We are talking about taking other teams young players that they have developed. If they turn out really well it will be good business. One thing that annoys me a little with some Bulls fans is that they remember every player we sell who then makes it but somehow seem to forget the young players we sign. Their original clubs supporters will then say the same. We didn't bring through Deacs and Robbie as kids. We are now wanting Evans along with Foster, Gaskell and possibly one or two of these three wire to make it with us. The point I am making is that all clubs lose youngsters for whatever reason and they then make it big. It happens and we should not dwell too much on it if ours do well elsewhere. I don't know these lads from wire but I bet they have been taught well and would benefit us if we could keep one or two.

Very true Woolly. We've had lots who couldn't nail down a starting spot [or even get into the team at all who moved on and developed into fine players. It's always happened, from years back such as Paul Harkin and more currently such as Ryan Atkins et al. It tends to happen mostly to the better teams but it's just life.

Rumour on London board their going to announce foster a one of their 5 signings today. Their trying to get kear too but sammut won't be going to them. Think fosters one we can afford to lose but hope we can hang onto kear.

Wires crossed perhaps? It's Alex Foster, from Leeds.

That would make sense. They just said foster and Jamie was only one I'd heard of so assumed it was ours. Hope they don't get kear as he's best winger at club IMO.

It's Alex Foster along with 2 more young Leeds players

Kear's not a big earner I wouldn't have thought so not one they'll be trying to offload IMO.

Dr. Foster, from Gloucester?

Do we actually know who we have on the 2014 Squad? Bulls web site still has last years Team showing!

This is how I think we will line up if all fit

1 Kearny
2 George
3 herny
4 purtell
5 kear
6 Gaskell
7 gale
8 carvell
9 diskin
10 Manuokafoa
11 fergerson
12 walker
13 addy

14 samutt
15 scruton
16 sidlow
17 Blythe

And miss out the main goal kicker?

See the original post, where I have listed the squad as best we know it at this point.

and Alexbutler, Sammut and Gale have been known to kick the ball, not just Foster. If Georges finishing proves to be better than Foster there are other kickers that make the choice simpler. And thats what FC has done pretty well with a small squad, get decent utility players that have to fight for places.

Both Gale and Gaskell are very good goal kickers

Maybe they'll fill in the gaps tomorrow!

At first glance, that looks like the remaining members of the 2013 squad. Pretty sure those were their 2013 squad numbers too.
Not sure why they are on the site right now, but I would expect those to change, and the new faces slot in there somewhere too.

Probably waiting til after shirt presentation night then do a big update.

Disco at 15 and O'Brien no. 21......wonder who the starting hooker is going to be? and what number he'll have.
