Both are smart signings, think Bullock could potentially be a long term signing, didn't realise he was 31 though, but still might be worth a 2 year deal if he impresses.

Russell brings pace, power and is a good finisher.

Lewis Martin hat trick v London, I’ve got a feeling, incidentally did anyone else see Liam Tindal in the friendly before his injury, he looked really good, and hopefully will be back soon.

I saw Carlos coming out of M&S a week ago, he looked fit in his black trackie, hope he’s back soon as well,we could do with him.

Clearly on high wages if he's getting his food there

But do we have the money to pay him off and replace him, looking at 150 plus to do that.

Indeed then probably the same wage again to get someone decent in, and we're not yet at the stage of the NRL season when a player has done something dumb and needs to be sent to SL for punishment

Pretty much agree with that side but just get a feeling we aren't going to see Carlos back yet. I'd maybe even give Severs another chance in place of Lane on the bench.

I don't think we'd get him, but I'd be asking Hudds about Sam Halsall for a month. He's missed their first 2 games

Would say that we are at full cap is now Bo--ocks

I think you're treated differently depending on the colour of your shirt (a lot of people don't agree, which is fair enough) but I don't believe had it been Welsby, Farrell, Walmsley etc... in Brown's shoes on Friday they'd have seen a red card. We are definitely a target but out of the 4 cards we've received this season only 2 were correct, you'd think we and especially Brown would've received an apology for the game wide embarrassment on Friday but nothing aside from generic rubbish from the RFL saying we got it a bit wrong but meh we done really give a toss.

I think regardless of how erroneous some of the decisions were our players should not put themselves in a position where there is doubt. Brown I would excuse possibly not Sao as he used his knees not sure about Sutcliffe. Herman and Pele deserved what they got. I don’t like this victim mentality. We won 2 challenge cups a few years ago - were we singled out then to get more penalised than any other team?

Correct, there's no conspiracy against us we are just ill disciplined.

If Carlos isn’t fit next week then some serious questions need to be asked about him going forward. He’s played 40 minutes since the end of September last season, it’s just not good enough for a high earner, especially for a squad which is already massively under cap.

But he’s well into his 30s, served the club well and has a calf injury in the cold early season weather. His contract whenever it is up will be renegotiated at that time or he will leave. That’s professional sport of which injuries are a part. Nobody who bat an eyelid if he weren’t a good player
