You've picked a great bloke up there with the signing of Michael Lawrence. It's not too long ago that he made over 700 tackles in one season to finish top of the Super League ladder, and you'll see that as soon as he takes to the field.

To his credit, instead of taking the easy winding down route at Fartown, he's up for a new challenge and I'm sure you'll all warm to him both on and off the field. Wakey & Hull were known to be in pursuit before management changes, so consider it a great piece of business too.

Bradford & Bruno, good luck for the coming season,

Lawrence is exactly what we needed in the pack. A leader and someone with a professional attitude. Ok he may be knocking on but he's in good shape (in stark contrast to the two rolly polys that have departed). I mentioned on Facebook that he could be a candidate to be club captain.

I'd get him in at 13 and let him tackle everything for 80 mins. Bruno is a great bloke who will work and work and work. You've got yourself a good signing who could have 5 years left in him

We've got some decent options for back row and loose forward but lacking a bit in the props. We've got Baldwinson and Scurr and then some kids and untried options. At least one half decent prop needed.

I'd play Baldwinson at 13 (where he played all his junior rugby, and has a decent pair of hands). Have Lawrence as the starting prop and use him in two stints in the game (unless he wants to play longer).

Has Kibula gone then? Another lardy type we are better off without.

Another pudding I’m glad to see is leaving. He’s 23 and is already on to his 9th club. That speaks volumes.

Hitchcox retired. Puts that rumour to bed.

Shame that. I think he had a couple more years in him.
