[i'Our season starts now'[/i according to Francis Cummins.



Discuss the build up and game here.



Yesterdays depleted squad should be strengthened by the additions of Nas, Donaldson and Kaufusi. Jordan Baldwinson and Mason Tonks are also set to make their debuts after signing from the NZ Warriors.

We're on course to actually have a pack for the Catalan game. That'll make a change

"Wots all the forrin rubish".....



Thought the Romanians from next door had started supporting the Bulls for a minute, then I realised that they speak far better English than that..

My journey into the 'new season' starts early Wednesday...with an away game in the sun. We have a pack, but I still have to pack., I/we will cheer the guys on. I/we may very likely have a dry sherry or two in Spain and France.... what true Europeans we Bulls fans really are! COYB's!!!

Looking better with the two new recruits and getting a few injured troops back, or am I just being over hopeful?

19-man Squad: Danny Addy, Joe Arundel, Jordan Baldwinson, Nathan Conroy, James Donaldson, Jamie Foster, Luke Gale, Lee Gaskell, Luke George, Adam Henry, Manase Manuokafoa, Antonio Kaufusi, Elliot Kear, Adam O'Brien, Tom Olbison, Alex Mellor, Jay Pitts, Adrian Purtell, Adam Sidlow.



So that's Nas and Donno back in contention. Looking a bit more like a team now

Diskin & Walker & Wood all miss out. Diskin & Walker must be carrying injuries, Wood because we actually have some forwards so don't need as many backs in the squad.



Baldwinson, Nas & Kaufusi replace those 3.

Diskin missing is a big blow to our chances IMO. We look a lot better in stints where he's on pitch as opposed to obrien who's still learning.

Yeah, we've few enough leaders on the pitch. We really need Gale to step up and be the leader he's supposed to be this weekend

Danny Addy, Joe Arundel, Jordan Baldwinson, Nathan Conroy, James Donaldson, Jamie Foster, Luke Gale, Lee Gaskell, Luke George, Adam Henry, Manase Manuokafoa, Antonio Kaufusi, Elliot Kear, Adam O'Brien, Tom Olbison, Alex Mellor, Jay Pitts, Adrian Purtell, Adam Sidlow.



Diskin and Walker should be back next week vs wakey (doesnt Kaufusi's loan expire after this game?)

Bit of a difficult one this as we have a few players who all play in the same position.

Kaufusi is available for wakefield game. We got him for 4 games rather than 4 weeks.
