Bradford Bulls - RedAmberandBlack.net • Re: Squad Numbers and Away Shirt
I don't disagree on Kear. He's a senior pro and deserves the shirt. There's a lot of changes in the back line and he looks a solid organising option. Similarly, him, Lilley, Patton, Doyle is the probably the most physical spine we've had in a while
On the pluses, if Walker has turned up fit enough to grab the number 8 shirt and do 2 x 20+ minutes spells then that is a massive positive. He's a quality player and that makes a top order starting front row.
On the negatives, disappointed to see Murphy in the 13 inside a new strike centre. Been a great pro, nothing but respect but...... highlights real cracks in the backrow, which won't be covered by loans or dual reg in my view.
On the outright weird, give Fleming, a regular starter last season a 2 year deal and then demote him to number 29? Below loanees and a host of players who haven't got 10 games between them, some of whom are utility backs who didn't exactly look the part in their few appearances. Similarly with Myers. All a bit odd.
