I'd agree with that. We managed to sell players to sort our finances out. Most teams will now be sorted and close to cap so the chances of Bradford recouping money in the same way we did looks limited.

I feel for them but also it does give us a slightly increased chance of ensuring safety for US.

A few weeks ago I would have had us finishing 13 but now if we get a half I could see us maybe being 10th or 11th

Still can't look beyond 12th. Thats the target. Anything above is a bonus.

To be honest there is little between 13th and 8th in SL these days.

There is always one team, sometimes two that really struggle, any one from five can then make the 8th spot with a bit of luck on the player front or injury front.

Maybe Salford may have a say on the 8th spot this year but it still leaves 9th as a target given a bit of luck.

it says on wikapida

To all of the posters putting Matt Ryan at Prop, out of his 24 first grade appearances he's played 22 at second row and 2 at loose forward. Are you wishing another Steve southern on us ? Only source ive found that says he plays prop is Wiki (anyone can change that)

Have a look at the Zero Tackle site.

Says his primary position is second row but ok at prop.

A few comments on the story seem to indicate that we may have signed a good one.

At 6'6" he should be tall enough to prop.

Steve Southern would have never reached that height stood on a chair!

Yes and Steve Southern was "comfortable" at prop.



Guess what Im dying to say is Why has he never played a first grade appearance at prop?



He's tall but he's hardly a massive structure, he's only 5 pounds heavier than Southern was and a hell of a lot taller. I've spoke to a few parra fans they seem to think he's a second rower but would be better suited at centre he's got pace to burn.



Got very good reviews from what I've heard so looking forward to see how he goes for us

Try and play Matt Ryan at 13 instead of Washbrook, it'd be like playing an extra prop (in terms of greater size and powerful running) on the pitch but one who allegedly has some pace and an off load game?





We've got Moore,Raleigh,Dan Smith and Tautai to play prop in the 17... Plus plenty of others to support/back up Kirmond and Lauitiiti in the second row.



It would possibly give more 'umph' and attacking threat to our pack from our loose forward even though Washbrook is a top tackler.

Scott Anderson is also a prop?

Quite right props a plenty! Maybe Tautai would be the second row with Kirmond with big Al off the bench?
