Just to help you guys out with this Thread Colton Roche from Featherstone - Bulls = Done, Bradford beat Salford, Leigh, Hull KR & Wakefield for his signature - He is similar to Mitch Clark although a little more athletic, Started off at the Rhinos as a Kid, he's a good one & will go very will at Prop or Backrow.. I think he will become a fans fav! Don't believe he played against the bulls last year as he was suspended for both games weirdly enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dSrrvH8n8I - From his agents youtube account 23, 6ft1, 101kg There is some delay with announcing, but wont be long with it Met him a few times, really nice bloke! - Enjoy!!

The name is familiar, he looks like a strong runner and we certainly need some grunt in the forwards.

If this turns out to be true we could actually have a pretty mean front row next year in Joseph, Peltier and Roche. Throw in Sidlow and Kavanagh and I'd actually be happy with that pack.

Done!

Ta. But you'll have to update it yourself now since it's now your post

I feel like I'm ready for the next piece of news now.

C'mon Bulls.

I like the look of the team Rohan is moulding. The video of Colton Roche looks promising. He seems to run the ball in hard like Mitch Clark and keep the legs moving in the tackle. His defence in the video looks good as well, seems to be a good wrestler.

This year we have come up against some packs (Batley, Fev, London) that have been full of big, powerful and hungry forwards that don't do anything particularly fancy but get the job done. Our pack have struggled against that at times (didn't seem to want to work as hard or do the gritty stuff) and it looks like Rohan is addressing it.

Joseph looked pretty good for Wales at loose forward last week so if Rohan is looking to play him there that would leave us with Sidlow, Kavanagh, Magrin, Peltier, Roche (if signed) and Kirk as our front rows. Way happier with that than the likes of Fleming, Lauaki and Crossley. Since Kavanagh got an extended run in the team towards the back end after his injuries he started to look really good.

I think we are going to see a harder working Bulls side next year.

Any one seen that someone asked the mole on twitter about blake leary and he said it was close but fell through?

That'd be a shame. For the first time in 10 years we're short of backrowers.

Well, Olbison is still available, I believe..

He didnt want to play scrum half/left wing/hooker/full back/prop. all in one game.

You might still sign Tangata you never know although Im sure Fax probably want a better deal than just AOB in exchange though.

You are still funny.

From what I read on another RL forum, you might have the need to generate some cash pretty quickly!

Went to see the Wales v Jamaica game tonight. Joseph didn't play for Wales. Peltier came off the bench for Jamaica though. Have to say, he looks like a project. He's a bloody big bloke and he's clearly hard to put down. A couple of times there were two defenders hanging off him and he was nowhere near going down. But he does look like he lacks the skill set a bit. If he has an offload game, it didn't show tonight. One thing though, he was more of a handful for the Welsh defenders than I've seen Lauaki be in two years.

Rohan's comments about him needing work but having the potential sounded about right to me.

Wonder why Joseph didn't play?

Thats the point, a player exchange is no good but we would be open to a cash offer. Bradford can not do cash though so Salford would be his likely destination if we got desperate.

Confirmed in T&A that Kurt Haggerty has 'retired' and taken up a coaching position with Toronto

Seems a bit of an odd one to me. Unless there is a long-term injury we don't know about, it seems strange for a 27 year old bloke to 'retire' from playing.

How long into next season before Toronto get a few injuries and - surprise, surprise - Haggerty is suddenly called out of 'retirement'...

Exactly my thinking regarding Haggerty.
I hope the club have decided to keep his playing registration.

Definitely going to happen I would have thought, look at the way Jake Emmitt signed for them telling Leigh it was his dream to play in Australia, only to coe back in a month sign for Swinton then on to Toronto, not a big fan of all this bleating Leigh fans have done about Toronto but this definitely looks a similar situation to me as he just signed the 2 year contract with us

We can do cash. Eventually.

Usually just a few days late.

Easy to resolve though, keep his playing registration, however suspect we have just agreed a termination and got him off the wage bill with immediate effect

Should now see if Smith rates Olbison bearing in mind the lack of back rowers we have at the moment

IIRC we've done that before when Karl Pryce went to union and on his return to RL Wigan paid us to transfer his reg.

If we keep his playing registration they either cough up or he has to wait for contact with us to expire.
