Just reading the tweet again from Gledhill. It all seems primed for him to say Bradford got one over a SL team if/when he extends at Bradford https://twitter.com/TheGameCaller/statu ... _6twQ&s=19

Is now the time we all say we never rated blore, dodged a bullet and wouldn't fit in with the club culture?

Still think there is a chance of Blore, not sure if he was injured or not but didn't make the Wests 17 this week.

Yep and Clune, Watson, Woolford, Lewis. All overrated

Rather than announce the 8 new signings now why not build up the tension and excitement and wait until the last minute when the first squad for next season is announced.

Pure drama and it'll keep this topic going for six months.

Turpin offers very little in attack, never been that impressed with him at halfback or hooker, looked at his stats yesterday no trys or assists, don't think he has even made a tackle bust.

I'd rather stick with what we have than sign him personally.

I’ve still got Roosters v Raiders on the planner from a few weeks ago and so started watching it again yesterday.

Defensively, for his size, Turpin is a very tough tackler. Put in some great hits and even stopped Horsburgh head on and dumped him on his back. The commentators mentioned his tackling a couple of times.

Yeah, in attack he hasn’t been that involved but his distribution from dummy half is pretty much spot on and quick.

I certainly think if signed to play hooker he would be a big success but I wouldn’t be happy playing him at half back.

End of the day got to look at stats

Shawn blore has 1 NRL try vs Jordan Lane has 6 for Hull

Adam Clune has kicked 0 NRL vs Ben Mac has kicked 22 for Hull.

It’s so obvious that we may as was just recruit from with in. I’m yet to see Jordan McLean dismantle a London Broncos under U19’s side.

Not one of those players made the Yorkshire side this year. That’s all I’m saying
