the fact he played in cup game with an injured shoulder says he's pretty commited to bulls in my book. The only comment orford has made publicaly with regard to the rumours is thats he's here for the long haul. afaik not one of the press reports linking him to an NRL move have any quotes from orford. Surely first thing any good journo would do is talk to orford? speaks volumes that not one has bothered imo.

Isnt this the knackers that's all over the T & A forum.

No mention of Worrincy & Sheriffe going in all these rumours?



I can live in hope!

Surely Worrincy going is a given? Unless the club have taken him as some sort of charity case.

Let's see the Team sheet for the Catalans game and that should give us an idea. Worrincy in the 19 and he's gonna get a new contract after what St Hillaire said about people not performing.

Just found a low beam...now where did I put that rope...?

If we set our sights low we won't be disappointed will we?

Now is the rope for you, me or Worrincy?

Given the financial situation, maybe we can share...?

Id agree that Worrincy being released is pretty much a given, even if he does play on Sunday, so I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. I would drop him (long ago) but, St Hilaire will pick from the available players who he thinks will win the 80 min on Sunday, not who Potter wants to have in his 17 next year. If he doesn't see an alternative in training he might go with Worrincy again....seriously hope not however.



Worrincy is not our main problem though IMHO, we have no half backs. Addy/Menzies/Sykes/L'estrange have done a job and no doubt will continue to try their hardest, but its no coincedence we've only won 1 league game since Orford picked up his injury at the MM weekend IMO.



Obviously the coach/weak backs/etc have not helped, but I put the lack of HB's as the main problem. With a decent pair of half backs or one exceptional one like we got to 4th with, then the forwards look better through better direction and the backs look better through better service.



Orfords return and the signing of a stand off and the resigning of Langley are the rumours I want to hear before any rearranging of our relatively healthly back row options.



I said all through the previous off season that the recruitment started and ended with the halfs for me, and the same will be true this year to a point, starts with the halfs, but probably doesn't end there this time...

Can't disagree with any of that. The worry for me is our inability to develope the creative players. We only seem to be able to produce Forwards, second rowers and centres. And that goes back more than 10 years I think!

All we have left is humour.....

Think the staff at Odsal will regret going into the season with only one proper halfback. It's one thing coping with a lack of bodies on the the wings but playmakers are much more important.



We need more cover there in 2011.

tbf they did recognise this and bring in southernwood at a fairly early stage. maybe one for the future and we would have been better served bringing in someone more experienced but we are where we are. think priority for 2011 has to be a dedicated standoff assuming orford stays.

u forgettin leon pryce god we could use him now
