Who's O'Sullivan?

Trae O'Sullivan ex-Batley and Keighley player, think he is a prop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBHK_PWQMPs Just had a look at his highlights reel. Looks ok vs L1 opposition. Could go ok in our reserves. Apparently he's on a trial.

Perhaps O'Sullivan could be a short-term recruit to cover for Peltier?

Or in case Crossley doesn't recover from his op by the start of the season...

Maybe. Apparently O’Sullivan was in the Leeds Academy with Jordan Lilley and Sam Hallas too

Even with Peltier and Crossley out we have Bustin, Green, Magrin, Kirk, Wilson, Foster and Wood but I do hope Crossley is fit for the start of the season as he’s huge for us.

Pretty sure O'Sullivan played in the last couple of reserve games last year. He was introduced at the Southbank event pre Christmas as one of 7 players in this year's Reserve squad, who would receive squad numbers as and when they played a league or cup game for us.

I wonder if Jake might play a bit of backrow.

Jake, Rhys Evans and Minichello could be the most dynamic flank since the days of Solomona, Hape and Volcano. Although they really didn't do much together, big things we thought of.

Minichello? New Aussie signing? If I’m honest I prefer our very own Minchella!

But I do agree with your point about being dynamic. Add to that Garside the workhorse and we look very good indeed!

Looking at the squad it looks like Wilson, Magrin and O’Sullivan will get a faor bit of game time! Happy with that!

Come on now. Let's not get carried away. We've already had better a couple of years ago with Bentley/Oakes/Ryan scoring tries for fun.

Looking like I won't be able to make the game tomorrow. Anyone know if it's being streamed/on the radio?

I believe Gledhill still does his coverage on mixlr etc

Milton

I hope nobody looks at that team and still thinks the Yorkshire Cup is a credible competition!

Right thing though, giving mainly different players from last week a run out.

Fax's team is anyone's guess as Bradford have tweeted a different lineup than Fax have.

Looks like Fax were the ones that tweeted the wrong line-up for them. Now said the same:

QLT
Sharp
Butler
Tyrer
Robinson
Brook
Woodburn-Hall
Fleming
Moore
Kidd
Larroyer
Barber
Fairbank
SUBS
Kaye
Cooper
Kavanagh
Morris
Saltonstall
Co Davies
Syme

Well, we won!
Being honest I expected us to lose today so I'm pleasently surprised. Anyone who was there today, how did we play? How did Wildie go?

For the most part we were good Wildie was good speed out of dummy half good at passing good foot work. Webster with looked knackered or injured at half time, saw him limping up and down line so injured I think. Very decent quality game tbf

It sounded good on mixlr, forwards gave the backs a good platform. defence sounded really good, Fax got the bounce of the ball on at least one of their tries. Ross Peltier gave Lilley MoM just ahead of Ollie Wilson. very encouraging, hope Websters ok as he sounded to have put in some good hits. sounded like a fast and intense game by the lads, likewise fax their yellow cards took their toll.

Decent game. Thought Webster put a lot of effort in but looked knackered by half time. All the props impressed, particularly Bustin and the trialist O'Sullivan looked ok. Ricket was solid on the wing and George got up their noses plus 2 trys. Got to get the lights sorted, it was embarrassing in 2nd half. Come on Bulls it can't cost that much for some new bulbs.

About 500 a bulb I heard

Can't somebody go dumpster diving at Headingley there could some knocking about now they've got new lights put up!!

Dewsbury next up at Odsal on Saturday. Looking forward to it.

Does anyone know the attendance?

3341 according to LE, about double what they got for yesterday’s double header
