My apologies. Corrected to prevent any confusion with the RFL.

Zach Johnson at Swinton is a big, aggressive old fashioned prop. Plays mainly off the bench and gives very good impact.

Another Championship player well worth a look in my opinion is Miles Greenwood at Batley. Probably the form player in that league at the moment. He's lightening quick. I think he's scored something like 10 tries in his last 3 games.

yes this, union pre season starts about now.

I guess it will take him a lot of time to get used to standing about on the wing waiting for the ball all game.



Oh hang on...

I don't watch as much championship rugby as in past seasons but from what I've seen, both Beefy's choices would be well worth a punt. There's also a good number of Bulls Academy products who are relatively young and might fancy coming back.

Two young players who have impressed me in struggling Championship 1 sides are Oxfords full back Morris and South Wales hooker Connor.

Connor is a bundle of energy and for a small man ,very tough-- the word nuggety comes to mind.

We must build a strong pack, ideally with 3 seasoned props and a couple of developing young front rowers. At the moment I believe all the top 8 in the Championship could match or better our starting pack.obviously it's difficult to be certain and some of the players who are out of form in Superleague may be stars in SL2.

I'd hope that we could keep as a minimum, Donno, Addy , Mellor, Roberts as well as Bates. I blow hot and cold re Olbison- if anyone can address his shortcomings it's Lowes.

Isn't Sam Wood injured? if he is then shouldn't be a negative message to the lad

I am all for giving the young lads a go but they must be up to a certain standard first otherwise they get hammered in SL and that will demoralise them. They get to that standard by playing in the second team with "occasional" spots on the first team bench. Playing a young lad against the Cats this weekend would not help them if we get slaughtered again. It is a tough decision for a coach as to when to throw them in.



I believe the loans rule is up to five at any one time. You can have hundreds of them over the season but no more than 5 signed at once.

Thanks we need a couple of young , big players who are hungry to get there chance

Thought Danny put a good show off him self on today , had pace to run back and tackle the Catalan break . Well done Danny !



Come on you bulls !

Williams played well and had a hand in the Henry try during the first half. He's streaks ahead of George and Foster in my opinion and handled the high ball well under pressure. Kear and Williams on the wings for the remainder of the season.

I agree , if we can get them both to stay next year would be good , think kear may get snapped up by a superleague team, fingers crossed we can keep them both

Was superb today. Two try saving tackles and set up Henry's try
