The Scrum 4 Six turned out to be an excellent showing of Rugby League. The first scrimmage of the 2006 season saw the Glen Mills Bulls face up against a team made up of players from the MataRays, Sharks, Fight, Slayers, and Bulls. The Bulls fielded a team made up of 14 players, while the other team fielded a team made up of 13 players. This scrimmage was more of a show to the union teams that were playing at the Scrum 4 Six, a way for some of the younger players to get some experience, and for the veteran guys to go out and get a run before the season starts.
This scrimmage saw the first of many rookies that will be playing for the Bulls this season. 5 of the new rookies were Geoffrey Ashton, Corey Benson, Jim Brazill, Mike McVey, and Mike Mertz. Geoffrey Ashton had 2 tries. Also the Bulls will have three more rookie players in Germaine Bennett, Darren Laws, and Brian Putnam. These 8 new players should play an interesting role on a Bulls team that really dominated the AMNRL in its 8 years, winning 6 championships.
The Bulls open up their season on Wednesday May 17th at the Glen Mills School and the Philadelphia Fight. They then travel to Laurel Maryland to play the D.C. Slayers, before they travel to Jacksonville to play the Axeman in their home debut
