Looking sharp mate great getting Tony to buy into another year. Dave finally playing full back for Dudley Hill too. You playing at Wibsey again this season?

Sorry for derailing the thread

Great to see we have kept with still being able to attract these level of kids. Shows Bastian is right to be kept where he is between him and (as much as I hate giving bowling lads credit haha) the coaching staff they have done a great job selling the club to these kids especially considering recent troubles showing them there is a future at the bulls

Good luck at Milliom! And yeah Tony is true club legend. Awesome bloke.

Agree with you on being able to attract talent though. Shows the Bulls still have pedigree with the young ones. Hopefully they will be rewarded in time with debuts for the first team. Hope Hodgson for one gets a big chance this season! And as I said before I hope Milnes gets a few games alongside the class that is Chisholm.

Seems if you go to the Bulls there is a pathway that isn't always there at others. From scholarship right up to first team. Having a lot of kids come through and play for England or get a SL place also shows the strength of the youth set up. A kid could go to a bigger club but not have the pathway or the same quality of coaching.

Not sure who we signed in 2018. If anybody has a link or list then it can be updated.

I called Milnes and Wilson making their debuts haha! Albeit a year late for Wilson. Looking back in that thread the three I thought might make it big was Mellor, Roberts and Naughton. Played against all three and they were a different class. Naughton especially. We should look at him tbh to do a fullback’s job for us next year. Kept himself in shape just may lack match fitness!
