Bradford Bulls snap up Warrington prop Ben Evans

Ben Evans has become the latest player to join the Bulls after agreeing a one-year loan deal from Warrington Wolves.

The 20-year-old Wales forward can play in several positions but will be used primarily as a prop next season at Odsal.

Evans, whose twin brother Rhys plays for Warrington and England Knights, has yet to make his Super League debut but featured in both Wales’ recent internationals against France and England.

He is now hoping to establish himself as a first-team regular under new Bulls coach Francis Cummins, whose squad began pre-season training yesterday.

Bridgend-born Evans, who represented England at Academy level, has not joined up with his new team-mates yet as he is currently on a break after his international exertions for Wales.

But he is delighted to have agreed the move to Bradford, where he will become reacquainted with fellow Warrington loanee Matty Blythe and Wales team-mate Elliot Kear.

Evans will travel from Warrington to Bradford with Blythe and said: “When Tony Smith suggested the idea of going out on loan I grabbed it with both hands.

“Like Blythey, I want to be playing every week in Super League and going to Bradford provides the opportunity to try and do that.

“There are a lot of young, enthusiastic boys at Bradford and speaking to Francis, that was the key.

“He was saying that enthusiasm is a massive part of the club and that all the lads are raring to go next year. He told me I could be a part of that and help the team further.

“I know quite a lot of the lads such as Blythey and Elliot, plus I’ve played with and against Adam O’Brien and John Bateman as well. That will make things easier for me again and I can’t wait to get started.”

Cummins, who has seen Bateman, Jarrod Sammut, Luke Gale, Chev Walker and Manase Manuokafoa sign new deals, is delighted that Evans has followed Blythe to Odsal.

The Bulls coach said: “Ben is young and keen to learn and I am really looking forward to having him on board. “He certainly has the ability and attitude to go a long way in the game and I’d like to thank Tony Smith and Warrington Wolves for allowing us to take him for the season.”

Meanwhile, Mick Potter’s wife Megan last night flew home to Australia after ending her stint at Odsal.

Megan was made redundant by administrator Brendan Guilfoyle at the height of the club’s financial crisis but was later reinstated.

A key figure in the Bulls’ administration department and ticket office, Megan stayed on at the club after Mick headed home in mid-September to search for a job Down Under.

He has since been appointed as head coach of NRL outfit Wests Tigers on a two-year deal and Megan, an occupational therapist by profession, will now seek to secure employment in Australia.

We do have good propects. But you need more than four props in the whole squad. A 20 year old British lad is worth a punt.

We are a million miles away from the Dave Taylors of this world. Giving a British kid a chance is fine with me.

Really? And just who is it you expect the club to sign?

There's no one of substance out there that's out of contract.

The Bulls are going to have a hard time of it next year and any player who wants to come to us, even on loan, deserves thanks for it

No fella...i ain't moaning as hes aggressive and a player that's got good experience and gets stuck in.....Now giving a young prop thats at warrington training along side a star studded team is not a bad thing then coming to us....he's a hungry young prop......so come again when hes played......

How you know he is dire?He played for Wales in a dire team. That great prop Kopcheque weren`t exactly scintillating in that company. How you know he is worse than Mcavoy you`ve never seen either in SL.
Sidlow is only a rumour, but it just shows your knowledge he is rated by people who know a lot more than you.

Dare I say Steve Crossley was released and has gone on to be named Dewsbury Player of the Year, signed by Fev and turned down deals in Super League to do so. With a bit more game time under his belt he could have been pulling up trees this season...you don't go to Oz and get named player of the tour for no reason. Maybe his day will come later with first team experience at the top of the Championship??

spot on, crossely should have been retained by bulls instead of being released, he had potential but was frozen out..like many youngsters have at bradford.
give mcavoy a go before bringing in youngsters from other clubs, our youth system should count should it not?
if people are criticising me about this lads talent then how can they as when HAVE THEY seen him play? im merely going off the wales v england game. we are clutching at straws if we are replacing burgess, elima, kopczack and hargreaves with 20 yr old's who have never played SL before

Yes i hear you uglytruth however.....i remember FC alongside Tony Smith when at rhinos......Dint they do the Manchester United and bring in a class of boys that have gone on to dominate Honours in SL......Now wait in a few years and see the rewards of playing youngsters week in week out......im very excited that FC is going for youngsters alongside mentors......Just wait for the results in the coming years......

The old regime froze youngsters out, hopefully this one won`t, FC seems more enlightened. You stated Evans is dire and so is Sidlow. On what you base such a statement? How can you base a players ability on Wales V England? Who else can we replace Burgess Elima etc with?

He`s got good potential & there is no room for him in the star studded Wire team. This does not make him a bad player or a poor signing.

Welcome on board & I look forward to seeing make a name next season.

I seem to remember we played a young full back a few years ago and when we brought him on at 16 everyone said it would kill him. I believe he went on to play a few games and did all right really and kicked a few goals as well. What was his name now.................
.......? Ah yes, Keith Mumby!
Maybe there's hope for youngsters after all-give the lad a chance. If he's big enough he's old enough.

As a squad player goes he is ok .. and short term fair enough

BIG difference is. leeds players were thier own. some of these lads are coming to bulls to get experience then return, so we wont benifit unless we can manage to sign them full time.
Dont get me wrong, i'll be glad to see any signings who are going to improve the squad, and i trust FC will know what he's doing.
we can't go on relying on the likes of sicknote scruton, walker, langley. If the past few seasons are a guide then they will be missing half the season.
So i say carry on FC & CO.strengthen our squad as much as you can. we all know its not going to happen over night.
Remember 1964 ? We went into the league with a team of give aways . It took time but eventually bradford northern became a force in RL again. I'M sure it will happen again.

We`ve fallen to a team that nearly went into the oblivion 3 months ago and are now attempting to get back on to safe grounding by not spending silly money even if anyone was available to spend it on. Maybe thats why Fielden did not come back because we weren`t prepared to waste good money on someone who maybe a risky buy.

Logan Swann was good!

and you misunderstand my comments .. if it had been " im coming to odsal to force my way in the the first time .. i feel i have the ability .. blah blah blah" .. thats good!

but he is coming as he is guaranteed a first team spot? ..

Yep i dont want us to spend silly money but surely their are players out there who want the chance to try to get in the first team!

truly not having a go at this lad (well a bit!) .. if it had been a full time signing on a one year contract with a view to two then brilliant! .. however who knows maybe the 19k'ers are doing us a favour and lending this lad for a season while they pay his wages to allow us to build and be a force again!

Also Nick Zisti was a potential superstar and was higher rated than the other "legend" who came to us as the same time!

as said .. i look forward to eating humble pie!

Keith Lulia...who's this kid, never heard of him, Shontayne Hape - Shon-who?

flashdonut says...
3:45pm Tue 6 Nov 12

Monobrow is correct with the underwhelming status. Hape was the Rookie of the Year. Lulia was a regular scoring NRL player, Zisti was rated by all. Let down and underwhelming are different. Zisti and Wittenberg were huge let downs.
.
But what I disagree with against Monobrow man is this: Yes, it may seem the weakest signing in 17 years, but we are in the worst position in 17 years. We can not sign Burgess or Hock or Tomkins. We can't spend like we did to buy Spuce and McNamara. We can't lure peole like Henry and Big Les. We have to be realistic. And Evans is.

Tricky Dicky says...
3:46pm Tue 6 Nov 12

It is not the signing of this young lad, who is keen to make his name, that is unsettling, it is why we do not have any 20 year old props to promote from within. It takes a lot longer to learn your trade in the forwards and most do not mature till their late twenties. From his comments reported above, this young man expects to gain Super League experience fairly quickly so he expects to play in the first team soon. So is this Mr Cummins solution to our front row fragility? I hope not. I would have been far more positive if we had found a lad from our own academy rather than accept another Warrington off-load. There may not be many props around but it is vital we have experience and "know how" up front. I'm still waiting Mr Cummins.

I thin that is a tad harsh. The club has been unlucky with props. If it wasnt for South Sydney we would have three Burgess props, and who was to know Kopz would go awol.

I think we have to be prepared to be underwhelmed with the signings for a season or two till we rebuild not just the team but the club. Hopefully we can then start to challenge for honours again.

come on the lad is keen to make a na.me for himself can not get into a star studded side at warrington. Smith rates him so why the problem with many of you. Can anybody tell me of a good prop we could sign in super league. anyway who is to say another prop may be coming. we need a winger and cover for standoff/scrum half.

Folks, we have a club, we have a team, we are STILL in the Super League. A few months ago we thought there was chance we might not even exist.
I think we have to accept that we have to start again and build again. Young lads like this have to learn their trade with all the enthusiasm that they bring. He may as well be with us to do that.
Good luck to him and the club. It will be hard, but again, We still have team and a club to support.

Never mind rat fans,
I'm sure once you get your million quid(chuckles), you will be able to sign some proper players.
Strange how last week Kopczak was crap and you were better off without him, now this very mediocre loanee is going to be great. You know you'd rather have a proper player like Kopczak, you just can't afford him :)

Strange how last week Kopczak was crap and you were better off without him, now this very mediocre loanee is going to be great. You know you'd rather have a proper player like Kopczak, you just can't afford him :)
Anyone seen Viking yet, or has he crawled into a rat hole , embarrassed to come out.
Hows the whinos search for a centre going ? Senior might be tempted if the moneys right .....there again he'll probably turn them down as well !!!

Even back in the day when we were all conquering, we had low profile signings like Jamie Peacock, Brian McDermott, James Lowes who was rejected at Leeds (see Superleague Supermen on Sky) and Scott Naylor. They all turned into top players with us and dare I say? Leeds are reaping the rewards with the first 3 names now. Thanks? None required old boy. Rhinos are thick skinned and charge alot.

How dare you make a comment on someone who I regard as a friend and fellow supporter whom you know absolutely nothing about. You obviously have very low intelligence and have no morals judging by your pathetic comment that you have made. I'm sure that there are plenty of cars that you can play with on the M1 or maybe there is a bridge that you can jump off

I think the point being made is that the likes of jimmy lowes were already established super league players, this guy is so far untested week in week out at that level, its ok blooding these lads but they usually have older heads around them . I await todays 7am story from Ross lets hope its not just another column filler,

Folks be aware that "ifallwerelikemumby" is the troll who`s been removed before under other names. He has pinched this (my) name from another forum.
Get involved with an argument with him at your peril, stay clear.

You`re wasting your time he thinks by spouting off behind his keyboard he will appear hard, trouble is if he met any of us face to face he`d sh!t a clump.
Daddy has to buy him his season ticket because he stills believes in santa!! LOL

From a Warrington fan who has watched him closely he is a massive prospect and is just unlucky that he finds himself behind some very good forwards at the moment. He is very similar to Ben Harrison and is a real workhorse. I'm quietly confident that everyone will be very impressed with Ben next season. Good luck for 2013!

Mumbler,
Rest assured if I met you face to face the only thing I would be scared of is the fact you might bore me to sleep.
You go on about keyboard warriors yet it is you, a silly old man, who sits behind your screen acting all hard. Grow up you silly old ****.

If bulls hasn't bombed crossly or matt James out we would have had one of those blokes back who are now at fev.
Is mcavoy being retained? Donaldson? Does anyone know? I heard Joseph is having a trial at widness, would it have been beneficial to keep him at bulls as Scruton will be injured a few games in!
