Bradford really are finished if they sign Thorman!

As for Johnson if Bailey and Carmont were both to leave and we signed 2 forwards and a halfback and still had the cash to sign him i'd take the gamble.

He's still a good player when he gets himself on the pitch.

PJ can cover 2nd row and centre although has had injury problems in the past. Good cover as a squad player but not in the 1st 17.
I'd have him back on that basis.

But we have loads of cover already in those areas...
Goulding/Gleeson/Carmont/Pryce/Phelps are our centres atm
Bailey/Tomkins/Hansen/Farrell/Flanagan/Mossop/O'Loughlin in the back row.

If more than two of those leave maybe, but I dont see the point.

best years behind him, best left well alone

heard the crack that we are in for Cane Cleal son of Noel Crusher Cleal

a good looking chap

we got rid of a load lof local talent because they were arrogant and thought the owned the town, some of whom were very promising players who have gone on to be very good players. last we thing we need is griffin who has all these negative traits and is at best an average player.

Except he'll never come back.

Never trust a good looking prop.

I guess kel was wrong

Name them

Maybe we can sign Glenn Morrison to replace Bailey

Rather keep Bailey.

He at least gets himself out onto the pitch 99% of the time and is 4 years younger.

Gone to Wakey now.

Although I haven't bought the Express today apparently it states that we and saints are after Ryan Boyle from Cas, I don't know to much about the lad other than he's a 22 yr old prop who the cas fans feel has a lot of potential, anybody heard anything know whether he'd be a good signing.

Good young player but cannot see why we would be in for him, unless we are looking to field a team of Props for 2010.

Maybe Fielden is going?

Have we signed a prop for 2010?

According to rumour a couple of pages back yeah. Maybe 2 if you include Griffin.

And do we know who the other is ?

It would significantly arrest the slide in Lenagans reputation if he could pull that one off...

Nobody has mentioned names.

Indeed. What category would he be placed in if he achieved such?

Both us and Saints are in the market for props in 2010 and I for one will be interested in the player/s that both clubs recruit, I'd say that we are more desperate for top quality prop than they are, but even though no names have been confirmed for either side I wouldn't bet against them getting Kite or someone of that caliber and us landing Griffin. And there in lies the problem for me although Griffin would do ok, he wouldn't lead are pack around the field whereas some like Kite would and for me that's what we lack.

And one thing that hasn't been mentioned much on here is the salary cap and much available we'll have, it seems to me that if reports are right quite a lot of high earners are coming of the cap yet Lenegan has been frugal with his signings, yes we've improved others contracts but I get the feeling that come 2011 we'll have a fair chunk of space available and Lenegan know's that and is ling up signings for 2011 not 2010, this for we will be confimed when the likes of Phelps, Coley and even Bailey and Griffin only get a 1 year deals paving the way for the 2011 season.
