We have always loved Leeds.

We love Rhinos.

Hetherington is a top RL bloke, greatly misunderstood by many. But I would bet this is to benefit Leeds as much as Bradford. If Lilley can't learn how to be a HB off 2V he's never going to make it.

Good move for Lilley. Likely to not get picked as a starter in the 1st month barring injury. Learning under Pryce and Toovey can't be bad. But I can't see where he fits in with us unless he comes off the bench? Pryce and Keyes need to play together and Lumb needs game time at hooker. Only had 10 games.

Josh Jordan-Roberts is a good signing. 2nd rower which we are desperate for. Had more first team experience than our academy lads like Tomlinson, Wilkinson. Benefits Leeds as he gets game time against tough opposition. 18 so needs to be playing against men now.

Sam Hallas. Again Lumb needs to start. Bringing him off the bench is a better option than Halafihi. Will be young and hungry. But where does this leave Lilley. Surely we can't have Hallas and Lilley coming off the bench?

Mikolaj Oledzki. Good signing. Desperately short on forwards. Young, hungry and played first team at Leeds. Provides respite for our senior props. Would expect him to come on for Peltier with Magrin swapping for Kirk (Peltier did 65 against Keighley).

That's just my opinion though. Either way, thank you Leeds and thank you lads for coming. Hope all 4 go well and help us out COYB!!

Mikolaj Oledzki.big things expected of hm at leeds, great engine, tough as nails but still very raw. a good move for leeds, the bulls and the player. I think you'll like him. remember he's a kid, give him time and he'll be very good for you.

Josh Jordan-Roberts again is pushing hard for a first team place but needs games. people who watch him often says he's strong and athletic. again a good move all round.

Sam Hallas, in my opinion, will never make a SL player. I hope he proves me wrong. I think he's a decent championship player. he's just learning to play hooker so it will take time so maybe i'm being hasty.

Don't we have our own young Eastern European chap, Vitalys?

Lilley is far too good to be on the bench. Play him at 7 with Pryce at 6 with Keyes at 9.

I know what you're saying about playing Keyes and Pryce together but Lilley has to play IMO

Anyway with our luck with injuries Pryce will tear his hamstring against Hull KR and Keyes will snap his ligaments.

Top your half empty glass up Bull Mania times are good at the Bulls when you compare it to before Christmas. We seem to be heading in the right direction. Positive mental attitude is the way forward

What about Pryce at 1 with Lilley and Keyes in the halves?
