We've offered him a deal, apparently.

Suggests to me that Lynch might be surplus?

Where have you heard this? 30+ prop taking up a quota spot I would rather keep lynch

All the Lynch knockers will soon eat their words if we let Lynch go. Would like to know whose going to take over the unoticed graft he does for the team if we let him go

Who?

pretty stupid use off a quota spot if true.

Lynchs' stats still show he is the best prop we have this season - big mistake in letting him go IMO (if above assumptions were to be correct)

The same bloke that first told us on here about Sam leaving.

Says that we've offered Ross - no more than that yet.

The Lynch part was of my making - not that we should let him go, just that Ross is a similar player.

Ross is the type of player I'd be delighted with if he were non-quota (31 isn't too old for a prop) and we needed an up and down prop. As he's neither, I'd be a little perplexed with this.

I'm waiting for someone to add 2 +2 and make 87, and say this is part of a deal for Whitehead...

Are you sure Potter isn't just getting a new set of woods?

)

This maybe as part of a deal for white head



Or you never know it could be to try and entice us to release Tom Burg to them

They might even chuck in a pigeon (just for you that Adeybull

)

Would need to be one hell of a pigeon then...

Ben Ross was one of the best props around before a severe injury. This is his 1st real season back so its difficult to say he s no better than lynch

Probably be a whole flock just to please you

i for one would be happy if ben ross came to bulls as is one big unit and will tear up super league.has prob been souths best prop this year and not afraid to do the hard work.most fans i have spoke to said we need a big nasty prop and ben is that kind of player

Hardly likely to please me...the only thing the little sods are any good at is crapping on your head.

He failed to take up the option on a second year at Souths, so is out of contract.

Quite pleased to see that one quashed!

If this is true it means either Herbert or Ah Van are not getting a new deal. If we are going to let either of those two players go, I had hoped it would have been for someone in the same position.

Why do we need another prop, unless there is something we don't know about one of the ones we've got?

IMO the five main props we have have got the potential to be a pretty solid group going into 2012. Lynch, Hargreaves and Scruton are solid, and Kopczak and Burgess will only get better.

So, IF we are going after this guy, it really does suggest that one of the current bunch is going to be on his bike.

Also using a precious quota spot on a position we have plenty of quality in doesn't seem very sensible to me. He's going to be replacing either Herbert or Ah Van, and we certainly can't afford to not replace Herbert with someone else.

i think if this is true could be ah van going as to be honest hes been too hit or miss for me and we have a good centre coming in next season plus on wing we have raynor,crookes and also think ainy could get a new deal plus have finingan as well so plenty of wingers plus if rumours of us trying to sign a scrum half are true think herbert could also be on his way.and may be herbert doesnt want to say as he only signed a one year deal to see if he settled over here.

do think this could signal end for crossley as would have 6 class props then and think lynch has only one more year on his deal and get the feeling hed like to finish his career at cas

the problem this year is that there is no bsterd in the pack, and scruts lynch and hargreaves have only been solid. When playing, Ross has been better than any of our props by a long way, so I would like the signing. imo, hargreaves needs to improve next year or be released as he hasnt added anything we cant get from the others.

wouldnt mind the signing as such. Its using one off the quota spots on a position we can either generate from within or recruit from within SL for that I dont agree with.

Bulls Media (Duffy?) has just tweeted that there will be an announcement tomorrow morning at 7am, so I suspect we may know a little more about our squad for next season soon enough...

I hope it's Ross. Not from a playing perspective - I'd just feel like I'd really arrived in terms of this board.
