Seems to be the case with a hell of a lot of our former players then.....

They are busy removing all mention of Broncos on their Wikipedia page no doubt.

I see we have selected our 21 man squad for the game from our errrr 21 players. So no surprises in there!! Question is, will Chris Ball continue to audition for a part in the remake of Mel Brooks' film Robin Hood: Men in tights?

Hope not DC. One man’s opinion but there’s no place for those kind of antics in the modern game. IIRC he turned out for the reserves a few times in said tights. I thought it looked like amateur hour. On the plus side he was quite sprightly.
In other news his mates, Ball and Hall seem to not have been taken up, along with Yates and Kearney so perhaps we are waiting to see if we can bring in a bit more quality later in the year. I think that’s sensible, although absence of any wingers has to be a bit of a thing? If I recall we won the football World Cup with a team dubbed the wingless wonders. Is that a thing in Rugby League or have we just invented it?

Is Hellec going to play on the wing perhaps?

Nice to have Stock back against a big set of forwards. A definite plus.

The Warrington Boys are winger & centre, so for 2 weeks we have 1 wing & if we flap enough we can go round in circles.

We may have the Warrington lads for a bit longer. You never know.

The forecast for tomorrow in Bradford is for snow. However Odsal does have its own micro climate, so it may be nice up there.
Oh thinking about it, it is never nice up there is it..

He may have hamstring issues. I believe some tights are compression based and can have a role in reducing hamstring problems.

That's not too encouraging then.
