Talk of Warrington releasing Anthony England he would do a good job for us.

If true he would be a much better bet than some guy who couldn't cut it at Fev or Leigh

Did the Bulls ever get that company car back? The one he was travelling to Hull FC training sessions in I presume....

Which probably means we'd have signed him if we'd won on Saturday

Fine margins, eh?

Walked out of a meeting with Carter and Smith yesterday apparently.
As for the person that mentioned Brett Seymour, he's a class player, but a ticking timebomb. Dewsbury had put him on leave before the end of the season for being light fingered in the changing rooms. I saw him watching an amateur game a couple of weeks ago and he was very much worse for wear, and there was no sign of any beer anywhere near him.

wasnt it reni matua who did all damage against us at odsal?. The one who went on loan to Salford for qualifiers and I think has now signed for leigh.

Marginet was the scrum-half wasn't he? He looked OK.

Maitua did most of the damage though, playing on the left edge.

The obvious area for squad improvement for me is in the pack, the front row especially. I like our starting pack (Clough, O'Brien, Sidlow, Olbison, Pitts, Addy) but apart from Ferguson, our bench options haven't been good enough. Lauaki and Crossley's stats from the Widnes game were very poor IIRC but in comparison, Sidlow and Clough's were ok. Glad Tahraoui is coming back. Anyone heard anything on Karl Davies?
