If Mr Sheens prefers Quinlan over Moss at full back then I think he is a better judge than you or I.

I think Cockayne's days at full back are finally over ( thank fook!)

Cockayne to full back comes around every ten years it seems so I expect him to reclaim his place around 2026

I know it was, just thinking about some of the FB's in SL, he would well to be in the top 5 FB's in SL.

Gigot, Golding, Hardaker, Hanbury, Jowitt, Lomax, Mamo, McNally, O'Brien, Ratchford, Shaul, Tompkins

Not the most talented bunch imo. Shaul up there with the best, which for me is Rhys Hanbury. It is a problem position for England, that's for sure.

All the best fullbacks I have seen in SL have been Aussies. Hodgson, Bowen, Dorn and Hanbury. So maybe these Bradford lads could be right about Moss. It's rare to find supporters who are so passionate about a player who has only played half a season.

Lomax is a very good FB, just injury prone, Hardaker is very good, just lose his way last year, MOS the year before and Sam is still a good player, add in Shaul and Hanbury. Jowitt looks a great prospect and very mature, I would actually say it's a pretty strong position.

Let's be honest Bradford haven't had much to cheat about, I'm not saying he won't do well, but to say he is in the top 10 SL players is hyping him up too far.

Bowen was ok, either great or terrible, didn't live up to his reputation IMO

Apparently a new signing will be announced tomorrow according to RH and Twitter?

The latest rumour flying around is Paea - not sure which one?

Re: new prop signing : Wed Jan 18, 2017 7:14 pm  

Lachlan burr - fella who was meant to sign for Bradford. Played something like 25 nrl games. Name I've heard.

I'd be delighted if the paea rumour came true, Mickey paea was truly outstanding. No chance mind.

If Paea comes back (which he won't) it would be all down to me, as I gave him Rover's absolutiion in Toulouse.

Who is your standoff at the moment? Whilst we signed & played him as a full back, he has played SO in Aus & Sheens called him a utility back when signed, so that may be an option as well.

Ben Kavanagh linked in a couple of reports.

Hardly Mickey Paea, but steady, fed-trained and experienced while still, you'd assume, being in his prime.

Burr is linked to Leigh I read this morning plus he's a 2nd rower apparently....
