Is this going to be a first team match, or are we saving them for Wigan? No disrespect to JJB or Rob.

Full strength, has to be

I could be wrong but is Newman missing from the week camp in Spain? Not seen him on any of the vids they've released...

Whatever is needed for the season ahead has to be the priority. I wouldnt go full chat personally. I'd put a strong team out but we need to be careful.

Expecting Mustapha, Holroyd, Walters and Waite-Pullan to join Bradford Bulls so they may play the game.

I posted this on the Burrow thread earlier....


Not sure where he’s heard it but my mate mentioned talk of Rhinos and Bulls legends coming on after 60mins next Sun? JP, Kev, Fielden, JJB. AND.........the mighty Rob Burrow, subject to medical approval.

League Express this evening linking Mustapha and Waite-Pullan (& possibly others) with Bradford, but suggesting Holroyd might be more likely to feature for Fev than Bradford.

That's a shout come to think of it no he hasn't been in them.

Sure ive seen him on one of the pictures on twitter.

Not saying we should put out this team for Burrow and JJB's match as it deserves a strong side, however, for one of the fixtures it would be nice to include the up and coming players in the team alongside some more experienced players to give them the opportunity.

If you're referring to the one with Alex Sutcliffe I thought it was at first glance, but its Jack Broadbent.

Hes changed his facebook pic to a picture of him in training in Spain.

Burrow, Sinfield, and Peacock will be playing on Sunday. Hopefully its a sellout.

Presumably we'll be playing a few old fan favourites too. You couldn't lend us back Peacock for five minutes could you?

I think ‘playing’ is over selling it

is there a limit on Subs in friendlies? If not they should get as many of the golden generation as possible to play out the last 5 minutes

Bulls have announced we'll be playing Robbie Hunter-Paul, Nathan McAvoy, Wayne Godwin, Matty Blythe, Stuart & James Fielden.

I know a few have said we shouldn’t make it an exhibition, but I really don’t think the result matters, not with the circumstances. Going to be some tear jerker on Sunday, and why not?

Fantastic ,
hopefully Barry Mac will play and get it on with Stuart Fielden



Seriously though anything that attracts a near full house will be fantastic

Exactly mate, it’s going to be an awesome atmosphere. I know fans of other clubs that are rocking up, just to support Rob’s cause.

I live and breath RL, always have, always will, but since the news broke, it doesn’t seem to really matter at the minute.

Really really annoying but I can’t make it on Sunday, gutted

Can only assume Danny Mags is still in Australia?

I was talking to Paul Sculthorpe in the pub on New Years Eve and he said that he was going over for the game along with Gary Connolly.

Absolute respect to the whole of the R.L community who have come together as always to support such a worthy cause . You only have to look at the Funding page to see donations from so many different areas and the supporters who will be at Headingley on Sunday will be from all over R.L heartland .

I agree and apparently they will feature later in the game .I think the official team will get enough preseason out of it . It is going to be very emotional now

I can't make it either, hope the club film it and sell it for the fund.
