Squad named www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/art ... n-friendly

The squad - brought to you by ASN Doors: Danny Addy, Jean-Philippe Baile, Adam Brook, Paul Clough, Nathan Conroy, Karl Davies, Lee Gaskell, Vila Halafihi, Adam Henry, Alex Mellor, Jake Mullaney, Adam O’Brien, Tom Olbison, Jay Pitts, Adrian Purtell, Ryan Shaw, Adam Sidlow, Harry Siejka, Samir Tahraoui, Etu Uaisele, Chris Ulugia, Chev Walker, Lucas Walshaw, Danny Williams.

Don't expect Baille to play given that he was said to be out for 3 weeks.

No sign of Blythe, Conroy, Fleming, Bates, Ferguson and Lauaki's not here yet.

Hope Lauaki doesn't arrive too out of condition.

He's not getting here until the end of the month and I think you can pretty much guarantee he'll be a complete pudding. I wasn't impressed with the signing when it was first announced, and now he won't even have any pre-season it seems like an even worse decision to give him a contract.

Conroy is in there?

Petersen is the other name missing I believe.

Was he still training with Manly?

Well spotted Hamsterchops I didn't check the squad that thoroughly.

I'd like to see Conroy come through this year. We need decent back up for O'Brien.

Still no Ferguson. Should we be concerned? Huddersfield look to be pretty much full strength.

I shouldn't worry, according to his Twitter he still plays for Hull

not quite full strength, missing

Grix
Ferres
Wood
Lawrence

but still a pretty strong squad with a few youngsters thrown in, should be a close game i think with bulls having the benefit of a game last week and both teams chopping and changing the players during the game/half time

I'm also slightly concerned about the weather. It's supposed to be freezing cold this weekend. Do we still own pitch covers or did we flog them along with the scrap metal from the family stand?

Well according to this article Ferguson was going to play this week: www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... ord_Bulls/ I guess we'll see the team when we see it. Lowes can play who he likes and make last minute decisions if he wants, it's not a league game. It is going to be positively arctic so wrap up!

Forecast heavy snow tomorrow so I would imagine there is a significant doubt about the game being on.

Probably more chance than previous years. Only pitch and access to main stand would need clearing. Don't have to bother with terracing and concourse round that side. If ground freezes then it would be more doubtful but don't think it's forecast to get really cold just snow.

If this snow continues at this rate i wouldn't be surprised if the game is cancelled tomorrow.

If a player is ready to play after long term injuries I would also drop them tomorrow as it will be very hard conditions. Is it worth risking them when there are other new players that need plenty of run outs. We know what Ferguson can do. Next week is the time for the first choice 17 to be on the field at the same time for a decent amount of time if possible.

It's been swapping between snow and rain all day.
Not sure how bad the snow on the ground will be come game time tomorrow, but I agree that it will not be an enjoyable day weather-wise.

It's likely to be a scrappy game, I'd imagine the pitch will look like the Somme come full time should the game go ahead

Not ideal conditions but the pitch shouldn't be too bad given nobody's played on it since the summer. I'm sure it'll cut up but it's not rained solidly all day. Just hope it's bright and fine tomorrow.

The club will hold a pitch inspection at 12:00 to determine whether the game will go ahead.

here, I can't imagine Odsal is any better.

Club asking for snow clearing volunteers..take a shovel

Game called off !

Bugger, was really looking forward to the game, however rather it was called off than to get a load of injuries

Just enough time for you to get down to the LSV and watch us wup the pies asses

What have their poor domesticated animals done to you??

Well there was that story on the news about the Wigan man who had sex with a post box.
