I heard it and it was Pearson on the 5:25 bulletin. He said we would be interested in Bradford players if they became available.

I think there might be higher bidders for Bateman and possibly Whitehead.

I've said it before,lynch will be have a big bearing on us signing players from the bulls

Re: Rumours Ad Infinitum : Thu Jun 28, 2012 6:57 pm  

Hopefully Lynch will have some influence, but I have a feeling money and trophy potential will have more influence! Leeds will be very keen to upgrade their aching squad with some strong youngsters, and that's a lot closer to where they are.

I don't, not because we have more money but because we have a greater need.

I'd like to think the Ellis signing would give us an edge when it comes to the signing of Bateman or Whitehead. Surely the chance to play with and learn off of one of the best 2nd rowers about would be a massive draw to both of them?

Wire put in a massive bid for Bateman already and they have a better accountant.

Back row - Ellis, Westerman, Whiting. If we lose Tickle, we could definitely do with Whitehead and/or Bateman.

Centre - Yeaman, Arundel, Crooks. Could possible do with another back-up, but would Lulia come to be a back up? Doubt it.

Prop - Lynch, Pitts, Watts, Bowden. Definitely need some strength and depth in there. Hopefully we'll get Paea. I'd take Elima for experience, and certainly Burgess for his potential. Don't think we'd need Kopczak.

how do we know Arundel's going to be first choice? He'd develop better being a fringe player imo, I know he's a regular at Cas but, it's better to be a fringer at a better club (no disrespect) than a regular at a lower one, Stefan Ratchford has done this with his move surely

Yeah, but at Warrington he'd have players such as Waterhouse and Westwood to learn from, who are also brilliant players and internationals, so they will be draws too.
