Bee told by a friend who plays for oxford Karl Davies played very well yesterday aggressive attack and defence, also said it shouldnt be long before Blythe will be back in looking very sharp too

Good to know - guess Karl is the 'great unknown' in the Bulls' camp at the moment. We're looking quite strong in the propping dept but that can change over the course of eighty minutes given our luck with injuries so for Karl to be looking strong is great to hear.

Whats happened with Samir, is he injured?

I felt that Samir was our most improved player during the early part of this season. I've not heard anything since the Dewsbury game. Perhaps Samir's absence was the reason Crossley was brought in on a permanent deal? Hopefully he'll be back shortly.

Samir is fit and available for selection for last two weeks, told me himself yesterday

It's a pity we haven't found room for Samir in the side as he's been improving steadily since day 1, imo. He didn't really run his weight at first but, more recently, he's making yards and getting in the off-loads and even better seemed to be developing that even more difficult skill of knowing when NOT to off-load.

Apart from Cloughie and Sidlow, the props are still to be decided, so far as I can see, so he's definitely in the mix.

So he's ok?

edit: Beeb wrong.

Karl bagged himself a meat pie today playing for Oxford


Blythe also scored, Brook kicking five goals as Oxford beat London Skolars 38-24.
