Chicken it is.

Oh are lass baked a mean cake yesterday, half demolished after Sunday Dinner, the other half is sat waiting to be demolished this aft.

8 of those SL clubs start the season off knowing they won't win SL. If your aspirations are to win it though, then I suppose not doing so would be regarded as a failure.

I would imagine for any top club, failure is not finishing in the top 4 and not having a cup run.

Bulls by 8

Who are you trying to kid?

I made a key lime pie.
It was & is (what's left of it) awesome.

Is this an all ticket game?

Ref for Friday is Mr Ganson.

Not too disapointed regarding this appointment. There are worse choices we could have had

Agreed & because it's not on tv he won't feel the need to be the centre of attention.
Let's hope the usual suspects can keep their gobs shut.

That`s a ten point start for the Dulls then.

Thats the only problem. Ganson generally wont take any rubbish or talking back from the players, and we have a fair few players who like to shout at the ref. Hopefully we can control that!

BJB back in the squad for Friday, Hardaker left out. Right decision? Hardaker was going pretty well...

On the face of it a poor decision for me, Hardaker has done nothing to lose his spot IMO. Of course there may be more too it, ie carrying injury, knock, etc...

Certainly not the right decision. Hardaker was going extremely well.

BJB was also going well before his injury, but that's luck for you. You should then wait for your chance.

Agree, as i said before unless it was for a reason, seems like another strange selection

unless injured its yet another joke decision. The guy is clueless

Has anyone seen a long range weather forcast? wondered what is supposed to be doing on friday.

I see that the bradford 19 does not include royston, who seems to be having a good year. On the positive Sibbit is in the bulls squad so that should mean a few penalties going our way.

You look at that Bradford 19, and I have to be honest, personally I think I would have any othe side in Super League 19 than that one. I am surprised they have as many points as they do. Two or three yes would still get into a lot of sides, but a lot of dross to compliment them.

Oh and Royston for me is a championship player and nothing more, so not surprised he's not playing.

Hardaker is young and his chances will come but, yes, I agree entirely, a baffling decision.

Hardaker's form warrant's selection. Obviously we don't know about training etc but as a fan that is all you can judge upon.

I'm not upset BJB is back in the 19, he should be, but so should Hardaker.

Perhaps they've been on trial in this week's Nines and Jones-Bishop was the more impressive.

First I thought it was a poor decision but BJB has showed far better signs than Hardakre this year.
Hardakre hasn't done much wrong, but he hasn't done anything spectacular either!
BJB had Stevos sex wee all over him at the start of the season and rightly so as he was awesome, a definite candidate for an England spot. Hardakre hasn't quite had the same impact has he? Both excellent prospects but a toss between the two...BJB all the way. Sure its hard on Hardakre but he has to fight for the spot.

I think he's generally been very good & done some excellent things so I don't agree with you.
Not sure what more he could have done to fight for his spot as you put it.

Think BJB gives a few more positional options to be honest, Hardaker been good on the wing but like has been said by TVOC BJB could have got the nod from his 9's performances

I agree he has done some good stuff he has proved he can put away acute in the corner chances and defend well. But for me BJB does offers the same and a little bit more, people are forgetting how awesome BJB was prior to his injury. Without a doubt the shining light in poor performances. Hull away break away try! You have to look at both players spells in the team and pick one, BJB gets my nod and obviously McDs.
