Heard a rumour Doyle may be coming to Wakefield Trinity. Know nothing about him but doesn’t seem to be mentioned here.

Squad booster are trying their best to attract members, we have funds and have helped with a couple of the new signings. I’ve not heard of Doyle going just this rumour but if he does it’s a loss but it doesn’t matter what budget the club have plus what we can offer if this isn’t enough and a club offers more than we can afford. New members are always welcome and if this can happen then we might be able to afford to keep such players.

I'd be surprised if he went to Keighley, he's been rumoured to be attracting SL interest all year.



As RagingBull said If we did go there then the melt down would be justified. Despite us having a disappointing season, we should still be able to outbid Keighley as Doyle should be the priority re-signing if he's happy to remain in this division. Think it's just mischief making and the whole Keighley will overtake us next year narrative.

He appears to be having children with 2 separate women at the same time. Good to see he's keeping his fitness levels up.

I'd like to say there is absolutely no chance of Doyle moving to Cougars from the Bulls. But to be honest, it's the sort of shambles I would expect from the current outfit.



I would of thought he would have SL offers, so I suppose he might well end up on loan at somewhere other than the Bulls in the Championship. Can't blame him if he doesn't want to be involved in our battle against relegation.

Crossleys final game tomorrow. Whilst i appreciate his service to the club the decision to leave is undoubtedly best for all concerned given his form (or lack of it) over the last couple of years.

I think we may as well re-name this thread to Transfer Talk or something?



Sad to see Crossley go as he is a Bradford lad and came through the system. But as RagingBull said, his form has dropped considerably over the past two seasons. I hope he can re-find his form elsewhere.



So out of this years squad the only ones who have been officially confirmed as leaving are Fleming, Ben Evans and Crossley?



And we've signed or re-signed: Chester Butler, Ben Blackmore, Tom Holmes, Brad Foster and Brad England?

Of the ones youve listed only Tom Holmes hasnt be officially announced.

Elliott Hall just about confirmed by Dunning a week or 2 ago.

Many others unofficially confimed (if thats possible!). Wallace to Cas, MDJ to Sheff , Walker gone. Undoubtedly many more to come over the coming weeks.

I'm sure I read somewhere (perhaps on here) that he is on his way to Keighley.



If he gets into shape, he could be an experienced hand for someone for a year or two- but he will need to work on his fitness.

Ah I thought Holmes had been announced! Can you remember which interview Dunning mentioned about Hall?

Was one of the youtube ones. He talked about him taking a good job in Donny so couldnt make it back to Tong in time for training after work. Thats why hes at Donny on loan

Crossley going to Cougars too from all accounts. In fact I've heard a few names are going including a couple of youngsters.



The Doyle move was being spoken about at the recent sponsors event at Bradford. Although you will never hear the club speak about it publicly, that particular "rumour" came directly from someone very much connected to the club. I was gobsmacked when I heard it but was told he was made an offer he couldn't turn down?



Genuinely hope its not true though.

Think it was missed on a previous post but I wonder are Keighley in a position to be offering decent salarys to players when accounts aren't filed on time?. Its currently 12 days overdue. If it was the Bulls RL Journos would be straight on it.

New signing to be announced at half 12

Any squad booster members going to share the news?

I can’t see anything about this anywhere?

Tom Holmes, 2 year deal. Great signing.

Brilliant signing that, if Patton is one of the 4 half backs mentioned in Dunnings comments, gives us an option of Lilley at 9 or Holmes at FB.

Id imagine it means one of Patten, Lilley or Jowett is on thier way.

Especially if we have Lawford. Unless Dunning sees Lilley as our 9 next season if Doyle goes?

That could be the way forward for next year. Lilley has been fairly ineffective this season, as has Patton. Their partnership has never really clicked and change was needed. The addition of Holmes is a good signing and should hopefully create some competition for places in 2023 with Lawford, Patton, Lilley and Holmes vying for the halfback roles.

To be fair I think Lilley & Patton have really been affected with having no ball playing full back.

apparently Jowitt seen as fullback

I had a different finish to this sentence I'll be honest..."..affected by being completely out of condition to play halfback".

Baldwinson and Lilley both appear to be sticking around for next year going by their twitter comments this evening
