I know we have had some blunders, but that would be a stupid decision.

People talk about salary cap issues. But we already know Grix and Connor have gone. I would also look to offload Crabtree,Wood,Ormsby,Wardle and Johnson.
If the Bradford three have signed and we then add a fullback (Hardaker?) an outside back (Mamo?) and a decent prop forward then I think we will have a really good squad and I would imagine the incoming salaries would be covered by the outgoing salaries.

Lee Gaskell didn't offer much of a kicking game at Bulls. Not much of a leader in half's either. Not the same player since Groat broke his jaw in July 15 missed half of our games since.

I'm 100% with you. None of the above would be much of a miss presently. Mamo, Hardaker and a Top prop and we do look like we have a excellent team. Problem is who would we get? We don't have enough quota spots for Mamo and another overseas do we?

Not sure of the quota rules to be honest. However there are ways around if we are full or we could also look in this country. Not sure who is available but hopefully the club have been working hard to recruit.

As far as I am aware, unless it's changed in the last couple of years, We are allowed 7 nonfederation trained players within that we are allowed 5 overseas players. Taai and ikahihifo do not class as overseas as they are from countries that have signed the Cotonou agreement and due to the Kolpak ruling are free to work within the EU as EU citizens (Brexit may change that) but they are classed as non-fed trained.
We have rapira, symonds and Hinchcliffe who are classed as overseas. So I make it we have space for two overseas players unless I've missed someone.

So there is room for Mamo and a prop. If we're looking closer to home Geeenwood from Hull Kr maybe a good shout.

I'd agree with that, he's also not a centre, might be able to cover it (although not sure he's actually done that in the last 3 or 4 years), but he's not a starting super league quality centre. He is very dangerous with ball in hand and room to move and can create for others and knows how to finish, he was a class above in the championship...when fit or not refusing to play (rumour)... His best position by a distance is 6, you'll regret it playing him at centre IMHO and you wont see the best of him at FB.
Any ideas why the giants have not yet announced the Bradford 3?

Cause they are crap signings that our current coach doesn't actually want?

Can't argue with any of that

Correct !

giants trying to get out of the bradford 3 deals then?? hope thewlis hasnt c*cked up yet again

Rick did allude to something of that nature yes.

All three from the Shuttleworth stable. Now that is a surprise. Thewlis connection, nothing to do with Anderson or Stone and Jools not happy !!!!!!

Unlucky then, I'd keep fergie at the Bulls but you're welcome to the other two.

we dont only work with shuttleworth though do we, theres craig harrison too, he's brierleys agent and also roberts to name two

Brearley, Most of the Players are from the Shuttleworth Stable. Fact. Arrogant Thewlis must see him as a push over despite him being Keith Masons client. We know how that ended. Pants down and empty pockets to Keith.

certainly somethings going on behind closed doors as any rumoured signings havent happened yet...

expect something soon though...

If they are trying to sell STs they will sell more if they DONT announce the Bradford lot.

The medical staff will be on overtime judging by the number of games the three of them play each season. My mate a Bulls supporter says they are pleased to get shot.

Perhaps there's still hope - they might fail the medical!

id like gaskell, quality player with lots of potential still

ferguson did well for us before and can be a good squad player

clough a prop and been there and done it for st helens

we shall see, hope stone gets what he wants which might not be these 3 and thats why theres the hold up!

Good Luck with trying to get Gaskell on the field next year. Since July 2015 missed half our games with 3 different injuries. Was injured when he left Bulls.

everyone said same about sam rapira this season for us about his injuries, been a virtual ever present for us!

True, Gaskell has started training early to try get over his injury,hasn't played since 20th May when his hamstring went.will be interesting to see how he goes in 2017.
