The one I am disapionted about is Mark Flanagan, he was showing lots of promise when playing for us. I dont know how he preformed in Australia not seen any reports but it would just be like us to let another good young player go to STAINS and play brilliantly for them. You would have thought that we would have made a move for him evan though we have a lot of back row forwards

There are a few i've never heard of. I think Purtell could have an influence for Bradford.

An uninspiring list of players flying over (or returning)

Waterhouse, Laffranchi and Hohaia are the 3 most notable names. I want to see how Isaac John goes in a very changed Wakefield side, he could be a speculative guess for "one to watch"
