So it has been confirmed on twitter that Omari Caro is still out injured and joining him on the sidelines this week will be loanee hooker Sam Hallas who has a problem with his thigh.

Joe Keyes and Ethan Ryan have been confirmed fit to play. And of course we have signed second rower Kevin Larroyer on loan. Another signing is expected to be announced in the next 24 who has over a decade of experience in Super League. We think that could be Scott Moore. In light of this what would your 17 look like.

For me this is an important game now. A win here would give the lads a massive shot of confidence and would start to chip away at this -12 we have!

You're not getting your info from Billy Bull$hit by any chance are you? Because if so, I wouldn't take any of the word as gospel. I say that because someone mentioned to me the "decade of super league experience" thing as coming from him.

If not though, who's given the info about Hallas being injured? Can't say I've seen it. I was half expecting he may miss out anyway if Moore does come in.

I personally would have Keyes in over Pryce on recent form, but I can't see that happening. You don't want to drop someone of the quality of Lilley though, who can change the game on his own.

Omari Caro will be at least another two weeks away mate.

Listen tonight from 7:00pm via Rugby League Live or BCB 106.6FM on Sunday from 2:00pm as we have all the latest developments.

The only Bull is coming from you, Keyboard Warrior.

I would have Liley and Keyes 6 and 7, Leon at 13...
Larroyer and Roche 2nd Row
Margrin & Pelts front row
Moore Hooker, Lumb off bench if indeed we have signed him.

CAMPBELL Full back, rest of the backs as normal..

There's a bite if ever I saw one.....Hook, line and sinker

I can confirm the writing in bold as he replied to me on social media saying at least 2 weeks.

I'm happy to go for the bait on this occasion.

Lets hope you are right and Moore has landed..

Where do you think he got the info from? Everything he gets is from social media or hearsay, largely because all the players think he's a joke too (evidenced by their comments when they got made redundant). The only exceptions are the ones he totally fabricates based on complete guesswork, and then deletes the tweets/posts once it doesn't come true.

Take this stuff about Scott Moore. It's been widely reported by reputable people that he's likely to sign shortly. So he tweets as "exclusive" that he'll sign in the next day or two, knowing that's quite likely and then it looks like he was "in the know".

Anyway, enough about that muppet. The Swinton game...


If Keyes is fit, I'm very interested to see if he plays and if he does, who misses out. Saying that, if Moore doesn't sign, then I would expect Keyes to take Hallas' place on the bench.

Carry on Keyboard Warrior.

I couldn't possibly comment on who I've interviewed at the Bradford Academy or Tong this week but there will be good news in the next 24 hours.

You'll have to listen to the radio for the rest of the developments. Cheers.

It's true though. You'd lost basically all credibility with crap you were coming out with before the admin, you've lost whatever you had left during the admin. Nothing to do with being a keyboard worrior, most would gladly tell you to your face I'm sure. We'll stick with with getting our news from more reliable sources thanks very much.

We don't get any news from anywhere though..

does that mean you did two interviews with new players? at two sites??

If only....

Intresting fixture this.If we presume that Swinton approach the game as they did last season(and weve no reason to think otherwise)then it should be a feisty affair.Our discipline will need to be spot on so as not to become embroiled in a tight forward battle which we are probably incapable of winning at this moment in time.A strong kicking game particularly early on should be the order of the day hopefully pinning Swinton in there own half and allowing us to gain some momentum and get on the front foot which we have been unable to do so in the first couple of games.Easier said than done I know.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but pay on the gate at Swinton. They've not sent any tickets (therefore no commission for Bulls)

The response of someone who can't intelligently respond or who simply knows that the person they're responding to is correct. I thank you.




The last couple of years, the Bulls insisted on tickets in advance from clubs who usually didn't do them. Even going as far as printing the tickets themselves in order to sell them. So I would assume that the current owners or whoever is running the ticket office, wasn't as fussed this time.

Dunno who mentioned Leon at 13 but that for me is a non-starter. He won't get through the work needed at 13. As we have Lumb and Keyes I'd be tempted to thrown Moore in there for a game and spell him with Bentley. For me the strongest 17 should be:

19. Johnny Campbell
2. Ethan Ryan
4. Ross Oakes
3. James Mendeika
5. Iliess Macani
6. Leon Pryce
28. Jordan Lilley
8. Liam Kirk
9. Joe Lumb
17. Ross Peltier
11. Colton Roche
0. Kevin Larroyer
0. Scott Moore

7. Joe Keyes
15. Jon Magrin
20. James Bentley
31. Mikolaj Oledzki/0. Jonny Walker/30. Josh Jordan-Roberts

The 4th bench spot well I suppose it's whatever you are looking for. I'd say it's between Oledzki and Walker, youth or experience.

I agree. Leon hides way too much in a game to ever play in the forwards. It's why I used to like him at fullback. You can't hide there, you have to be in position.

I would play Lilley and Keys anyway. I still have serious doubts about Leon and his ability to disappear. He has done it all of his career so why will he change now.

Hopefully we'll see a bit more involvement from Leon this week. Last week's game wasn't one for the backs. The weather should be better on Sunday so here's hopjng we can use our backline. No way will the captain get dropped in game 2.

I think Thomas will keep his place. I think we'll line up like this:

Thomas
Macani
Mendeika
Oakes
Ryan
Pryce
Lilley
Kirk
Lumb
Magrin
Bentley
Roche
Moore

Keyes
Peltier
Oledzki
Larroyer

I would expect the team to be...

Thomas
Macani
Mendeika
Oakes
Ryan
Pryce
Lilley
Kirk
Lumb
Peltier
Roche
Larroyer
Bentley
SUBS
Magrin
Moore
Oledzki
Jordan-Roberts / Wilkinson

I expect Keyes to not get his place back until Lilley goes back to Leeds. I don't expect Lilley to be here after the minimum 28 days loan, so let Keyes have another couple of weeks getting over his injury while we're not desperate for him in the team. Same with Jonny Walker, if he's in need of fitness, let him hang on until Oledzki's loan period is potentially done.

(What I expect, not necessarily what I would pick)

I think we will end up keeping Oledzki longer than the month's loan. Lilley will 100% go back though!
