It's nice to be able to possibly pick a three-quarter line of Williams, Blythe, Baile and Shaw!

Only cos you can't pronounce the names of the other guys

ooh you bithh!!!

So, anyone heard anything about our new half back?

I'm assuming we've no more overseas space available, otherwise I'd suggest trying to tempt Scott Dureau to Odsal now that Catalan have signed Todd Carney

Getting dureau would be quite a hard sell. Would you like to leave the sunkissed South of France and drop down a division to come to Bradford. I think I'd rather sit on the bench.

MMmmm, Hope he's not flying Ryanair, Todd Carney has a lot of baggage..maybe too much for the RFL / French border authorities?

Harry Siejka on 2 years confirmed as the final piece of the puzzle

This is how I see the squad as it is, now completed.
I have Chev as my captain being the oldest is the squad with either of Addy, Fergie or Purtell as vice skipper.

1. Jake Mullaney 24
2. Etu Uaisele 29
3. Adrian Purtell 29
4. Matty Blythe 25
5. Danny Williams 27
6. Lee Gaskell 23
7. Harry Siejka 22
8. Mark Offerdahl 26
9. Adam O'Brien 21
10. Adam Sidlow 26
11. Tom Olbison 23
12. Dale Ferguson 25
13. Danny Addy 23

14. Vila Halafihi 20
15. Chev Walker 31 Captain
16. Jay Pitts 24
17. Paul Clough 26
18. Adam Henry 22
19. Dave Petersen 22
20. Lucas Walshaw 22
21. Dan Fleming 22
22. Karl Davies 22
23. Jean Philippe-Baile27
24. Chris Ulugia 22
25. Nathan Conroy 20
26. Ryan Shaw 21
27. Alex Mellor 19
28. Samir Tahraoui 23
29. Adam Brook 19
30. Sam Bates 18

So an average age of 21.8 years allows for plenty of time to grow as a team

..and absolutely no reason to play anyone not 100% fit as there are plenty of versatile and decent players in the wings - however Jimmy decides his 'best' 17 are.

We have 4 "juniors" signed to the first team squad. -- Brook Conroy Mellor and Bates. Have I missed the signing of the other 2 mentioned by Ferres?
On the basis of Conroy's performances I think Halafihi will have to be good to displace him from the role of understudy to O'Brien. I think the signing of Halafihi may have been a calculated gamble. He was farmed out to a feeder team in Australia and I can't find any mention of his performances this past season.
Three questions --
1. if there are 2 juniors to be signed who do the regular watchers of the U19's think they should be?
2. Which U19 competition will we play in next season?
3. Which of the signed junior players still qualify for U19's in 2015-- I assume the 20 year old Conroy doesn't

I can see Conroy and Halafihi sharing the hooking spot if/when O’Brien is rested or injured. O’Brien seems to be being groomed to be an 80 minute player but I doubt he’ll play every game next year what with him being such a young lad.

The days of playing 2 hookers in the 17 seem to be going. In the NRL it’s increasingly rare to see that.

I got bored and came up with this show of depth;

1. Jake Mullaney / Chris Ulugia
2. Danny Williams / Adam Henry
3. Jean Philippe Baile / Ryan Shaw
4. Matty Blythe / Lucas Walshaw
5. Etu Uaisele / Adrian Purtell
6. Lee Gaskell / Danny Addy
7. Harry Siejka / Adam Brook
8. Adam Sidlow / Sam Bates
9. Adam O'Brien / Vila Halahifi
10. Mark Offerdahl / Dan Fleming
11. Jay Pitts / Tom Olbison
12. Dale Ferguson / Alex Mellor
13. Dave Petersen / Chev Walker

14. Nathan Conroy
15. Samir Tahraoui
16. Paul Clough
17. Karl Davies

squad list edited to remove Adam Henry from Nonfed now clarified by the club on Facebook

Squad list edited to add Karl Harrison

original post on page 1 has stats table added to it now

Best squad table on RLfans by a mile.

I like that Offerdahl's alternative position is 'gone'.

It's completely up to Martin, but the previous squad list or two had hyperlinks included for the players' Twitter page.

I found that interesting.

ah now Twitter. or in AntiYorkshire, Witter.

dear seemingly departed Silsdenbull used to do the full Monty including Twitter, inside leg measurement(s) and meal of choice in Nandos. Alas (Fortunately don't I mean?) I know none of those but was dreading the question re twitter as I have staid Twitterless so far. If some kind souls would like to point me in the right direction or post or PM them to me I will add them as received.

I can sum up the player Twitter feeds for 2015 as follows:

"BOOM!! Off to smash a Nandos/Costa with my Brar <insert player nickname here>"

If I have the time over the weekend, I'll try and make a list of all the twitter handles and post them on here. That's unless someone else (Hindle?) beats me to it.

suddenly thought, I could always as my mate Ryan Sparks for the list so hold back for now.

if anybody has any requests for the stats table I will update the whole lot in one go.

Nothing back from the Bulls so i've put the urls of a few twitter accounts I have harvested off the Bulls twitter account (looked for a fujll list on there, but couldnt see one - can anybody else spot one???) can someone tell me if that is sufficient or do I need to be putting trash tags on everything????

Whilst on the subject of PR and in the hope of ingratiating my way back in to being Ryans best mate, the PR department are probably busy working hard to continue the improvement of their relationship with the TnA, which is now writing a few decent articles, well not just a straight copy of the Bulls PR article.
