Bradford Bulls 2012 who is & who isn't.???

I recall at the beginning of this season 2011 the Bulls had signed a lot of players and most of them seemed to be only on a one year deal.
Who of these players have they seen enough of to warrant another contract and who have they seen fit to let go elsewhere.
Are the Bulls in the position to offer good players on the market a contract or is the budget a bit thin.

Cheers

There will be a fair few sweating on their futures. Opinions differ between fans and even family members!
I think all the following are off contract at the season ends -
Herbert
Walker
Ainscough
Ah Van
Royston

There are others too! Out of the little list above I'd keep Royston for sure (even though Potter doesn't seem to rate our top try scorer!) and Herbert, Herbie gets a lot of stick off the fans, but his short passing game is superb and his kicking has greatly improved, but keeping him depends on the Quota spots available and rumour has it we've secured a 20 year old Aussie starlet.... only a rumour at present and no idea who!

I've heard plenty of criticism regarding how Potter tinkers with the squad....dropping players at random and switching them around. I've presumed he wants to look at as many permutations as possible with an eye to next season, and who could be worth keeping.Its not good for this season but makes some kind of sense with so many of similar quality and the chance of some replacements. Several young players look to be getting a realistic chance which also has to be good, without them overdoing it.

Going by all reports the youngsters in the squad did well last week in thrashing the Giants but they always seem to lift for the occasion and rarely put together any consistency I find.
It is difficult putting an older wiser head on young enthusiastic shoulders just the same...
I'm not just talking about the Bulls, it's every youngster bar a few that find it hard putting it together week after week.
