Thanks guys

Bodine off home after Keighley game.

I guess ots the news we all knew about so it is hardly surprising. I just hope we can find a decent replacement.

I would be looking at a James Donaldson if available. Regardless, it free's up cap space at a very important time for the club.

We have it’s Batieri

Baitieri was announced before we even knew Thompson was contemplating retiring. I don't believe for 1 minute that he is a replacement and I do see the club going in and actually getting a replacement.

Batieri was announced before YOU new Thompson was contemplating retire.
You have no idea when discussions between Thompson and the club started to take place .

Another new signing coming at 5pm.

Taufua from Wakefield

Don't know much about him but watching him on youtube he makes some monster hits. Depends how fit he is.

Think he's struggled at Wakey (let's be honest who hasn't though) be interesting to see how he goes in this division.

Just me who gets incredibly anxious when we make all these mid-season signings?
Bulls fans have been here before, several times, and they always led to disaster...

Two of our highest earners have just left to be fair.

Given our history there will always be a little doubt but we need to have a little faith that we aren’t going bust just because the bar has restocked seabrook crisps!

We have Bulls Squad contributing now as well as likely two high earners leaving which will free up funds.

Gill signed a new 3 year deal?

Really really good retention that

Outstanding news

Wait... someone getting to the end of their contract and not immediately running for the hills??????

I am on the right forum aren't I?

Uncle Nige and crew mustn't be that bad if Gill's hanging about?

Not bad as according to some we’ve no money and he won’t spend what we have got! I’m pretty sure an in demand Gill won’t be that cheap

I knew I remembered that from somewhere

Gill deffo wasn’t Holmes was signed on a 2 year they year after gill signed his

Brilliant news with Gill committing to the club for the next 3 years! I expected him to be snapped up by a SL side so bravo.

100% agree, this is excellent news and a great piece of business.

There’s the usual jealousy and veiled warnings of imminent collapse from our neighbours I see. To give our current board their due there have been no hints of financial issues since they took over, unlike in some other championship clubs. We seem to be working within, and sticking,to a budget

It's hilarious isn't it. On one particular clubs forum there was all the usual guff and almost outrage we'd signed someone (bare in mind arguably our two highest earners have left/are leaving)
On that same forum there was talk about their star loan man been recalled due to the parent club fed up of constantly chasing loan payments, as well as some staff having to chase wages. But still... We're going bust apparently.

Great news on Gill. Hopefully a few more to come!
