Rumoured to be announced shortly.

Are we completely sure it's not the formal announcement of the rumour?

Think they are announcing that we have extended Mathers contract

Got the members email a short while ago - worst kept secret in the Championship.

The prodigal returns...

Wish I got mine







Whats the fecking point of member emails if you don't bloody send them out at the same time???

Still... good news on Leon's return.

I hereby put ten pounds on them using some cheapass cloud mail spamming service that sends in batches of fifty or so for no other reason than sending them all at once is sold at some entirely manufactured and arbitrary premium.

Good signing. Still good enough to be one of the dominant halves at this level. With Moss at FB, Chisholm and Pryce in the halves with Keyes as backup, it feels very weird to have the QUALITY spine of the team sorted, in August. When did that last happen?

I didn't renew my membership this season....I still get the emails though!!

Well we have the halfbacks, fullback and hooker. We next need some forwards, preferably a few psychos.

I'd still like another half - Thomas or Charnock - as I have a terrible feeling Leon will probably play a similar number of games as Gaskell did in 2016.

Tell you 0hwat will nark you off even more - I'm a flexi member

Well we could always, you know, play the kid who's currently playing at six? #Keyes

As I've said before I really goid signing for where you are, we do really well in the champinship, a bit unlucky this year at Hull, but played a part in that success with key moments.

Expected to play on Friday against Saints in which I think will be his last game for us and in SL.

Apologies, I'd included Keyes in our halves options. I just think we'd need another in case he or Chisholm pick up an injury too. Plus Joe is still a young kid learning. Rohan did say we had 4 halves for next year but then I heard on BCB that Thomas could potentially be allowed to leave.

isnt one of u19s coming into st team next year primarily a fullback but can play standoff too? pickersgill iirc?. maybe rohans classing him as 4th option

Yes Brandon Pickersgill can play stand off or fullback.

Said it before and I'll say it again. Bradford Bulls having four halves is mind boggling, considering recent history. I can't bloody wait until next season.

I have nothing against any of the players involved at all. Curious though how irrespective of the regime we always manage to fight the current war by preparing for a repeat of the last one.

Small squads become huge. Too few props becomes too many average ones, which becomes too many out on loan, etc. Now large squads are the problem, gotta trim it down. No half backs? Let's charter a ing bus and go sign some.

Anyway, welcome home Leon.
