There haven't been proper referees since Billy Thompson and Fred Lindop.

Barred from refereeing Castleford games and for good reason.

And Colin Whitfield(?) Always used to go and wave the ball at the SS before KO.

Superb.

by far the best was russell, its only cos he had connections with bradford and cas that you dont like him, its different with silverwood though because he was a leeds fan before he took up refereeing. remember the first game last season against hull kr when he made sure that you won the game. good old richard eh.

Are you havin a laugh! He's never done us any favours

Best what?

Best in show perhaps.

Get a life your pathetic.

Im always glad to know whose reffing a fixture but anyone know when squads are going to be announced? It seems Leeds have a link on their website but its not been working all afternoon. No mention of a Bradford squad anywhere either......

Yeah had same problem all i know is Scott Donald is not playing Friday.

The club can cover up a dropping all they like, but nice to see poor performances are not rewarded.

donald was no worse than others. i can't see him being dropped for a poor game

I agree. I dont think he has been dropped I think he probably has an injury. Be interesting to see this team with him and Burgess out though. It may end up with either Gibson/Watkins on the wing and then Ablett in at centre.

that leaves us with 3 props and 3 second rows.bit light mate

Could really do with Lee Smith back available this week if Donald isn't going to be there.

thought that myself.

Will be surprised if he is back this week.

Yeah. Your spot on. But do you reckon Bluey will play with Watkins and Gibson on one wing?Or do you reckon there will be a shift. Our right wing will be faced with the prospect of Tadulalalalalalala and Nero; two of Bradfords better backs this season and I dont much fancy Gibbo and Watkins up against them. This is of course all dependant on Lee Smiths fitness. I seem to remember i heard he wasn.'t. If he is I think it will be him in at centre, with either Gibson or Watkins on his wing! I think the team will be

Webb
Gibson
Ablett
Senior
Hall
Mcguire
Burrow
Leuleui
Diskin
Peacock
JJB
Kirke
Sinfield

Buderus
Bailey
Lauititi
Watkins

How far away is BJB?

Distance or fitness?

He played last weekend in the reserves and has done the past few I think.

Fitness!

Hence why I used the plural with an s, Tad.

Had it been one game I would not have mentioned it.

you think he has been poor?
i don't. he has had little ball to do anything with.his centres have given him nothing to work with, unlike senior for the last 2 years

I think he has been worse than poor, but thats my opinion.

I would like you to be proved right by putting him back outside Senior. But then again I fear that will then be at the detrement of Hall.

It would be to the detriment of Hall but possible to the betterment of the team. So which is most important?

Hall will still make huge yardage as he's the opposition's kick returner of choice.

had donald been outside senior he would have scored far more than hall because he is far quicker
