Matt Lucas would make a top class impact prop like Paleasiina and his PVC shorts and shirt would make hime difficult to tackle especially when wet. We would also have the kudos of signing the only gay in the super league. Tapping into the pink pound would be the financial making of the club.
David Walliams has proved by completing his cross channel swim that he has the required stamina and mental strength to play in the back row.

| Quote ="Northern Lad"my biggest concern is the players we would want to keep and are in demand, will look at the current situation and wonder if there going to win honours where they are?
Why stay at the club, whilst we are losing, looking like we won't get in the play-offs, not winning and generally playing gash. Some of the guys with international hopes may think they have a better chance at a "higher profile" club.
The other issue i guess is recruitment for next year. If this is the team that Steve built, do we really want him making decisions on the players for next year?'" A bit like Michael Shenton last year.

very wishfull thinking unfortunately.
although all the above are very good players, I'd rather build for the future myself. We have another two years to do it, and could benefit in the long term.
Knowing the Bulls we will sign some sh** from clubs in Super League, and keep our crap players. Platt.! being one of them

| Well I think the worst thing that can happen is a mass clear out. During our period of success it was a case of a 2 or 3 player turn around per season. Lots of new faces can disrupt the harmony of the team and leave us no better off than we are.
As I've said, the team has proved it CAN get the job done. The problem seems to be one of motivation ie the team are up for games against Leeds & Saints but don't seem to bother against everyone else and yet the coach seems to lack ideas on how to combat this and even admits he has no idea how to solve it. Therefore the coach requires either replacing or having someone brought in with more experience to oversee him.

Well I think about 4-5 are needed next season, which isn't really a mass clearout.
Platt to a championship side where he belongs, -ideally- Karmichael Hunt to replace but that may not be very realistic.
Deacon dropped to reserves, either Brett Kimmorley, Darren Lockyer or Matt Orford to replace.
Langley either put into cover for prop or sold and get a good LF: either Dene Halatau or Reni Maitua.
Not sure about Centres, it'd be a toss up between a centre and an impact prop.
Justin Poore comes to mind for prop, then for centre i'd go with Brett Delaney- He's young, fast and still learning.
So my team for next season would be (it will never happen but):
Karmichael Hunt
Halley
Delaney
Nero
Sheriffe
Lockyer
Jeffries
Lynch
Newton
Scruton
Burgess
Menzies
Dene Halatau
Worrincy
Kopzcak
Rinaldi (I'd have him over Wagga)
Scruton
Then contesting for places on form:
Crookes
Sykes
Langley
Matt Cook
Matt James (if he re-signs)
And the rest of the young 'uns.

I said it would be ideal and not likely to happen. We can always hope. I wouldn't say they are completely unrealistic.

Well I suppose I could win the EuroMillions and finance these signings for the club. I'd say that was pretty unrealistic though... unfortunately.

| I hope Andy Lynch is resigned, I really do. I also like the big prop forward at Roosters, O'Meley. Apparently Roosters are fealing the salary cap pressure and are ready to offload some big names. With his mate Fitzgibbon coming over, and O'Meley having only a few years left in the tank, this could be a player we could attract, and in my books should be aiming for.

| What about Danny Brough? Looks like he might be on his way out as his latest club have had to suspend him for his latest breach of discipline. maybe with a strict disciplinarien like Steve Mac guiding him he might sort him out.

You can hardly call Steve McNamara a strict disciplinarien when his players clearly do not have the discipline needed to concentrate for 80 minutes, consistently. I've stayed quiet on Steve McNamara for a long time, I've given him as much time as I could possibly bare, now my support for him is running thin. I think we need a new head coach.
