Looking forward to this as much as a hole in the head. Good win last week to get the monkey off our backs and maybe give some confidence. But cannot see a win. Can see it being close with neither side being great but a Fax win. Lilley missing and likely Moore out too probably seals our fate. Think our left hand side can rip them to bits. But it will probably be a case of too many dropped balls not not being able to handle the mental side of things with Scott Murrell running round like he's won the Challenge Cup every time we make a mistake. We simply don't have the mental strength when things go against us. When things go well for us, we look very good though.

Like to see Lumb on the bench to spell Hallas at hooker presuming Moore is suspended. Thomas at SH hopefully Campbell at FB. Be nice to keep Chamberlain too. So being a Bulls fan i expect No Chamberlain, Campbell or Lumb, and having Caro and the waste of a shirt Macani & Chapelhow.

Hard to call but my head says narrow Fax win but my heart says we will show a reaction to Sunday's shocking performance and will win comfortably. Bradford probably have to keep us under 16 points to give them a chance of winning and I really cant see that.

Can't see us getting anywhere near in this game to be honest. No Moore, Lilley and possibly Oakes out too. It will be too much for the lads unfortunately. I'd be tempted to focus on the Hull KR game as they may send a slightly weaker side if they beat London this week and secure 1st place.

Even if we lose to Halifax and Hull KR, hopefully we can round up this dead rubber year with a couple of wins against Batley and Swinton leading into the Championship Shield.

Moore banned for 2 games.

I'm expecting us to get another good kicking and lose by a cricket score, picking up injuries on the way


Come on Bulls please prove me wrong
I cant remember last time we had a back to back win it was that long ago

Jordan Lilley recalled from loan by Leeds.
We're knackered.

Thomas at halfback and pack leader Moore out suspended. Oakes probably out due to head test.

We'll struggle for direction and the kids will get bullied. Normal service resumes after last week.

Our promised reinforcements will be here by then...

...oh hang on....

...no they won't.

As are Leeds.

Tigertit as usual you know nothing, Jordo is a star of the future I see Paul Deacon inside him and it excites me

Ah! Must be Hari's brother.

Still chance of a couple of new signings in before Sunday? Willie Tonga and another outside back from a Super League club is what I've heard. Tonga probably not likely to play until next weekend.

When do they have to be signed by to play on Sunday?

Heard a few people banding about Damian Sironen's name around too. He's a prop that's mainly played 2nd grade in Aus. Paul Sironen's nephew.

Think deadline for signings is same day as 19 man squad announcement.

Don't get your hopes up would be my advice. This season is done and dusted.

Ashley Gibson is a name I've heard.

Well according to Simon parker a signing is about to be announced shortly. Well i presume so from this tweet.

"
Klaxons about to sound at VP and Odsal ..."

Ashley Gibson confirmed. Underwhelmed.

Interestingly until the end of the 2018 season so a plan must be in place.

There's most definitely a plan in place. Surely you've heard?

I take it back.

Well everybody's heard about the bird!
Bird bird bird, the bird is the word!

That was my first thought also, to be honest.

As I understand it, all of the re-signings from last season were done for just this year so I wonder if there will be some of this season's squad re-signed sometime soon. I'll totally understand that some might not be, but I'd hope that attempts will be made to tie down, 'some of our own', in particular. My expectations though, are that we'll be left with those I wasn't bothered about and the cream will have [ialready[/i signed elsewhere.

Welcome back Bari, say hello to your alter ego familly for us

Squad: Bentley, Butterworth, C. Smith, Caro, Chamberlain, Chapelhow, Davies, Gibson, Halafihi, Hallas, Keyes Kirk, Magrin, Mendeika, Oledzki, Peltier, Roche, Ryan Thomas.

Be interesting to see how we go as website seems to suggest Mendeika at centre so not sure who will go at FB/SH. Love to see Butterworth get a shot but think we'll unfortunately stick with Halafihi.

No Jonny again?

I'd say Halifax by 16 points.. not enough experience in,
Kr win next week, then maybe we can get on with getting off 0 points..

If we pulled a shock off in either I would be over the moon,
