Think most of our better prospects are in the academy judging by that performance!

Crossley looked like he could do with losing a bit of flab and improving his leg strength. He reminded me of Paul Grayshon at times and that's not good!

Hyde looked good again, although if he were to play in SL his defence may need a little tweaking. It doesn't stop Sykes being selected at 6 though.

Not criticizing Sykes by the way, he had a great game today 100% effort and for once his tackling looked good.

Nothing to suggest that he would make it in League IMO.

All the key men in the Wigan side are th same age as our u18's that's the 7, 9 and 13 also the Wigan stand off Mark Flanagan is another Bulls junior.

Bit early to say I would suggest, he looks to have the strength and pace to make it. So the raw materials are there, whether he can improve the defence and fitness we shall have to wait and see.

Shouldn't have let go?

Who is their scrum half?

Joe Mellor.

this doesnt excite me one bit i worried he be worse than the rest of them which is hard i know

I hope he makes it. SL is desperately short of even half decent British threequarters - if the guy makes a fist of it we could do far worse than getting similar players from Yawnion over. League's never going to attract the top Union players again as the money flow's the opposite to what it once was, but there must be a fair few outside backs in Union who for whatever reason are drifting in that game but could make a go of league.

From what I remember of Union wingers converting in the past, the main issues are the PTB (I think Jim Fallon took about a year to get up to speed with that!) and stamina - the number of kick returns and other involvement will generally be far higher in league. Other than that the basics are pretty much the same.

Have all 30 of your posts since joining been super negative?

Why are people feeding the idiot? Ignore the troll.

Obviously a major attraction to the young talent around.

I'd only seen a few of his posts. Now I've had chance to view others, I see what you mean. I'll put the pellets away...

Sorry, was finding it amusing. Especially the dig at you about the pixies - obviously doesn't like decent music

why sign wing ?

Is that the name of the new Chinese halfback we are trialling...?

I'm not sure its even funny anymore...

"Worrying" is the word I'd use.

Yup. Anybody who supports Bradford and would question us signing wing has a screw loose.

This is the sort of thing we did in the '90s though

early '90s

crowd on sunday took me back to '91 the music took me back to '61

Apart from the whom the bell tolls/ enter sandman bit which definitely needs retaining (incl the Faithless intro)
