Hope it's a cracking game and that we both have fullish strength teams out, would love to see how near (or far) we are off SL standard

I'll be there. It'd be nice to see some of the new lads in the side. Any idea if we're playing many 1st teamers?

Chances are we won't have a ton of our 1st team. Possibly 5/6. hope im wrong though.

I'd like to see:

1. Brett Kearney
2. Adrian Purtell
4. Chev Walker
3. Keith Lulia
18. Shaun Ainscough
27. Kyle Briggs
7. Luke Gale
10. Craig Kopczak
9. Heath L'Estrange
15. Bryn Hargreaves
17. Ian Sibbit
19. Tom Olbison
13. Jamie Langley

14. Matt Diskin
20. James Donaldson
21. Tom Burgess
22. Jarrod Sammut
23. Danny Addy
24. Jason Crookes
26. John Bateman
N/A. Phil Joseph

I'd be hoping to see runouts from Purtell, Gale and Sammut as far as the new guys are concerned. I doubt very much that Lulia will feature, and Kear/Manase are both injured.

Lulia isn't fit yet, but I certainly think its time we saw Purtell

Anyone know what the prices on the day will be? Also, do the Concessions include students and what age do Child tickets go up to?

Cheers

Prices same as above, students are concessions but proof needed and child is 16, still at school.

Thanks for the info

I wonder, if Diskin and Lestrange are not available, if Gale will be given a game at captain as hes going to be the play maker and Langley played boxing day, hes the only one that Potter wont already have a good idea about

can see where you're coming from re: gale but think it would be a very bold call making him captain given his age and relative lack of experience and fact he's only just joined club. Would be along same lines as when robbie got captaincy at a young age, although he had been at club a while already. Cant see past one of L'estrange,Langley or Diskin getting it probably in that order of likelihood, with Elima maybe having an outside chance too.

yes I did forget Elima who's another contender. but worth a look at Gale in a friendly, for potential further down the line. didnt he captain the Leeds Academy final winning team, just gone to his Wikipedia page and its been wiped other than the stats bit and very basic info.

I update the Luke Gale wikipedia page and I assure you it hasn't been wiped since at least September. I added the Bulls part and havn't taken anything off at all.

agree entirely about gale in a year or two. just think its a bit early this time round,both in terms of his experience, and also think he needs a period in team to earn respect of the other players. Pretty rare for a new signing to be made captain without them playing a game for club. Exception to that is when a club brings in a world class player with lots of experience.

Am I right in thinking the squad is announced today?

Any team news for this?

think we've got til 3pm to make announcement if were using normal rules. be surprised if gale and purtell dont get a run out. maybe sammut too.

We have received confirmation of a strong looking Bradford Bulls line up for the game this Sunday.

Sykes
Ainscough
Purtell
Platt
Crookes
Jeffries
Gale
Burgess
Diskin

Joseph
Sibbett
Bateman
Addy

Langley
Kearney
Briggs
O'Brien
McAvoy
Kopczak

Some interesting selections there. Obviously it will be good to see the combinations of Purtell/Ainscough and Jeffries/Gale, it's also nice to see Addy getting a run out in his (supposed) best position, rather than at hooker as he was forced into last year. Good to see Bateman starting too.

Looks a decent line up

All being well, I will be there....

Thanks for the info.

Looks different to what we have selected on bulls website (walker and hargreaves in team)
