| To be honest I’d have been looking at Thomas Minns as a signing but he’s probably already been signed up somewhere decent.

| Quote ="Highlander"Finances. Before the Batley game, Diskin made some comment about us have triple the budget of Batley. So on central funding of approx £100k this year, we've about a £600k spend (I think).
If we could get into SL, and our central funding went up to £1.8m, we could spend the cap, easily. There are still some SL clubs who aren't spending the full cap.'"
But crowds would go up as well as central funding. Struggling to see how promotion would hinder anything.

Yeah Minns is a good player. That'd be a good capture for us.

| Personally I think talk of promotion this season is getting rather carried away to say the least. Results wise if not performance wise I think we've over achieved so far, and we might come down to earth with a bump tomorrow. At the start of the season I'd have settled for finishing 8th. Now I hope we will be higher and maybe even cling on to our 5th spot and a play-off place, but there's an awful long way to go yet. To be honest I'm just happy to be watching competitive matches every week instead of last season's often one sided affairs. As for the players, it would be great hold onto the youngsters, particularly Ethan, instead of seeing them go to SL clubs. Hopefully the failure of Bentley and co to hold down a first team spot at their new clubs might persuade some to stick with us - if Chalmers can find the money. And I wish when some fans are giving stick to the likes of Kirk and Milnes they would remember just how young they are.

I agree with all of that. 6 out of next 7 league fixtures are versus sides with designs on a top 5 finish. How we perform over May and June will decide our season. We’ve just had a run versus some of the weaker sides and this might have put us in a false position. There’s a long way to go yet.

| Beginning of the season I said if we won more than we lost I’d be happy with that. Still think the same.

Well after Toronto we've played everyone and I expect we will be in the top 5 still by that point, so it not a false position from halfway. But yes plenty of the season to go and we've still got some very tough away fixtures like Toulouse, York, Fev, Leigh etc.

Yeah, agree with that. We can dream if we wish but it's hardly likely to come true.

| It's been reported in League Express that Ethan Ryan has been one of the most saught after players since the transfer window opened with Hull KR the frontrunners to sign him.
If he does go then we'll definately need a new full back and possibly a winger too. I personally would concentrate on getting as good a fullback as we could afford. The wingers we have seem good enough for this level (especially Hitchcox when fit) and we wouldn't be able to sign one as good as Ryan anyway.

| We should go after Cameron Scott. He might be playing in the Championship anyway next year with Griffin and Tuimavave still at Hull FC, Jake Connor as well who is probably nailed on for GB 3 or 4 baring injury. Even worse for him he might be playing reserves.

| Glad we've started to tie some of them down. Lilley has been alright but I think and hope there's a lot more to come.

Jury still out for me. I am very happy he has signed, but I feel he needs to show a bit more to become a very good 7. Yes he is still young at 22, but he needs to front the defensive line up more and engage the line more for me to be a threat.
Seems at times to be too lateral, whether thats him or lack of runners I don't know but when you have some good line runners like Minchella, Webster etc he needs to find them in space more engaging the line. Yes it was league one but the way Joe Keyes found Elliott time after time last year in the right space was brilliant and I really think he is a missing link for our attack this year. There is only 12 months between them and I feel Joe attacks sharper and straighter at the moment. I really hope we see him in a Bulls shirt again and he can shake the injury off
I would like to see Jordan move to hooker. He defends far above his weight and has a good rugby brain on him and feel he would be really effective there as we have seen before. I don't want this to come across as bagging because it isn't, just feel his attributes are more suited to 9.

Hopefully. Think he was a touch hard done to in the MOM voting in the cup against Leeds with his performance. Think Jordan sneaked it with the history between him and Leeds. I have seen people say they feel he could turn out to be a great ball playing 13, which may be true but I love seeing a big framed half back and im sure he will go on to be a superb player.
One of my best friends taught him at school and said he is a very attentative kid with an eagerness to learn. Cannot ask for more when he has the raw ability he has

I'd go along with almost all of that.

Update on Ethan Ryan.
Quote ETHAN Ryan is still considering whether to choose between the Bulls and Super League. The in-demand winger continues to weigh up his options for next season. Having announced Jordan Lilley’s capture for the next two years, John Kear’s side would love to nail down scoring sensation Ryan on a new deal. But there is plenty of Super League interest in Ryan, with Hull KR and Castleford rumoured to be among those keen to snap him up. There is an offer on the table from the Bulls but head coach John Kear admits it is a waiting game for the club.'"
