Anyone who's bought coach travel from the Bulls should note that the coach(es) leave the ground at 12:00 and not 13:30 as stated on the on-line tickets. According to a phone message from the club. More than a little early, I would have thought but, better early than late...

Better give you something to get up to then, on site Whisling wren, marstons pub outside space and does food, legends bar beer and pies on concourse mix with ex players Morrisons opposite leigh east (probably games going on) bar and food and holiday inn express bar and food. Town 10 min walk full of rl pubs and fans

Can't see anything but a loss with Leigh in red hot form, at home and maybe wanting to avenge their defeat to us earlier in the year.

Having said all that I've lost count the number of times we've played Leigh all expecting an absolute drubbing, only for us to give them a huge scare and lose to a late try. we always seem to raise our game against them.

Think we need to win at least 1 of our next 2 games. Lose both and it makes the top 5 very difficult IMO

All true enough.

Top five was the very highest I thought we might achieve to be honest and never any kind of 'expectation' for me. I find it hard to see a win over there but, at our best, we should be competitive, so que sera sera, as the song goes.

I think there's potential for us to win 8 out of our remaining 11 games if we can get a few bodies back and hit a bit of good form.
I think we'll lose on Sunday and also lose the games against Toulouse and Toronto but other than that we should be in with a shout for all of the other games. York away will be tough and could be pivotal in us making the top 5.

Tough ask this weekend. Still deliberating whether to go or watch it on the our league app. Is the 19 out yet?

Yup - [urlhttp://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/article/52947/crossley-and-garside-return-to-john-kears-asn-doors--man-squad[/url

I’d go:

Ryan
Grant
Webster
Oakes
Foggin-Johnston
Lilley
Wildie
Crossley
Hallas
Kirk
Garside
Storton
Minchella

Flanagan
Bustin
Peltier
Wood

I notice that the Leigh 19 includes 3 Saints players and Mr Hock.

It sure does.

Andy Thorniley, and Sam Brooks to miss out for me.Not a bad 17.

No way Brooks misses out, been one of our top performers this season. A. Thornley and either Cox or Marsh to miss out.

TBH, I don't see us getting anything out of this game. But I would be pleasantly surprised if we managed to squeak out the win

Picked up a one game ban after the Halifax game...as for the game, could go either way. We won't win easy like we did last week v Fax. Leigh by 6 (hopefully)

That’s why I said Brooks wouldn’t play, he has a 1 match ban.

I knew that Charles...him who 'runs a pub' didn't.

Doesn't Brooks's ban only apply next week? (it's only SL, or Challenge Cup, where the ban takes immediate effect, isn't it?)

I do know that, I also know the ban doesn't come into effect untill next week as it always has done in the championship

( I also haven't run a pub for a very long time, and won't be ever again, just don't know how to change my name

)

Strong Leigh squad

Sorry...I blame Charlie !

Ian, Tha knows nowt thee.



To miss out - Mitch Cox,and i don't think they will risk Luke Adamson for this one.

Technically, Douglas is a season loan as is Woods. Rumours strong that Douglas will not be going home next year and staying at LSV. Injuries to Pownall Higginson Laithwaite and Spencer and also resting Adamson T, the better one. Hock has put some metal in the Grunt, with Brooks Douglas and Emmit able to do long minutes to offset his impact. Look forward to another nail biter at LSV

Have I gone onto the wrong forum here?

Aye, we're easily excited us Leythers....also looking forward to our biggest away support since we were in Super League.
