Any guesses regarding the silhouette of the next new signing? No idea who it is but perhaps recognise the player in the background.

I think the player over the shouler may be either Matt Cook or Matty Smith. But the background certainly looks like Odsal.

Correct

That would coincide well with the recent clearout over at Wire.

Back on the topic of players, that silhouette looks like Richard Moore's bald head to me. Not sure if I'd be happy with Moore signing up or not tbh.

No info but going on I think it looks like Matt Cook in the background, the silhouette looks like short or no hair and we're thin on three-quarters and left-field I'll go for a Jamie O'Callaghan *fingers crossed it isn't though*

James Deighton has tweeted that our new signing is on radio leeds in the morning and we "won't be disappointed", I've no idea btw, but I'm really enjoying the way the bulls have turned this bad situation of effectively losing our whole squads sl contracts, into a pr opportunity with this drip feeding of good news.

Yeah, hat tip to the club for this. It's definitely the backbone of the positive feeling about the place.

You guys & London have signed/already have a few....

Depending on how far back the pic is and summat tells me the stance is a ball handler, if not a bit stocky... weren't we linked with Scott Murrell a few years ago?

5.

For some reason I can't fathom how to insert a link and text but there's a loverugbyleague article out there where Solly says 5.

Think that will be it for prop forwards as we now have:

Adam Sidlow
Mark Offerdahl
Dan Flemming
Karl Davies
Sam Bates

Also Chev and Alex Mellor have played there this season so plenty of cover .

I still think we need 2 more props. We're going to using 4 props a game, so that leaves Bates as back up prop. IHe's only 18 and will be in his first full time season next season. Give him time to develop. I hope we never get in a situation where Chev Walker is playing prop again. Definitely need at least one more prop, ideally two. Going to be a long hard season so we need cover for inevitable injuries. Clough and the lad from Whitehaven would be great.
