Right then, on to the next biggest and possibly last game.

Everythings against us, staff working for free after redunancies, huge debt, players wondering about thier futures, no buyer yet, we need a big crowd but the British GP is on TV at the same time coupled with the possibility of a Brit in the final at wimbledon for the first time in 70 odd years- both on tv at our kick off time, a bibical flood of rain.....this is a moment for us to stand up and be counted, and support our team on Sunday because it might be your last chance. And bring someone else whilst your at it.

COME ON YOU BULLS!

As for the team, in the absence of much team news (Im assuming sammut is injured but I don't know)I'd go with;

Kearney
Ainscough
Platt
Lulia
Pryce
Jefferies
Gale
Hargreaves
L'Estrange
Manuokafoa
Elima
Whitehead
Bateman

OBrian
Burgess
Langley
Walker

Kearney
Ainscough
Platt
Lulia
Pryce
Sammut (Jeffries if Sammut injured)
Gale
Elima
L'Estrange
Hargreaves
Whitehead
Langley
Bateman

O'Brien
Burgess
Manuokafoa
Addy/Olbison

BTW, does anyone happen to know if the club shop will be open?

Hope some of the groundsmen are still around because the weather forecast for the next few days is truely awful and the thought of a postponement doesn't bear thinking about. Anyone know where to find a 1000 volunteers with mops?

im struggling to see how the game will be on with this weather. There was an awful lot of groundwater this morning at Odsal

Well...I'm signing off shortly for the weekend.

Would just like to wish you guys the best of luck for Sunday's game.

I'll be there with my Father giving our support to our near neighbours.

COYB

To be fair the Odsal pitch drains pretty well and has done since the eighties when it was re-done from the bottom up. Barring one of those 'one month's rain in a day' situations early on Sunday, there should be no problem.

We need a bulls win, hulls fc win, salford win and tigers win. Coupled with a cataln victory over hull fc next week in there rearranged game.

Give us space above KR, net us 23 points and we will be in the middle of a 4 team scrap for 5th

right up till the point they hit us with the points deduction...

Based on the current table if we were hit with a 6 point deduction we would be back on 15 points with Salford - 4 points behind HKR.

If we could keep the same team on the pitch, Potter & co at the helm - and a ground full of fanatical fans cheering them on then I honestly believe we could still make the play-offs

Ainscough
O'Brien
Lulia
Whitehead
Addy
Burgess
Jeffries
C Walker
Hargreaves
Olbison
L'Estrange
Pryce
Platt
Bateman
Gale
Langley
Kearney
Elima
Manuokafoa

Squad as named on Super League website! No Sammut so guessing his injury might keep him out for a while knowing our luck this season...

Injured knee.

Jeffries has been our solid half all year. Didn't think he deserved to be dropped against Wigan. I expect him to have a big game along with the rest of the boys. They will do it for Potter and the other staff (that were sacked). Hopefully BJ will get his 100th Super league try on Sunday. Go the Bulls!!

I dont think he was TBH, suffeing from back spasms wasn't he?

Passed fit before Wakefields game.

Fair nuff.

Even if you did make the play-offs , some would argue that you should not be allowed to play in them. Fans of some clubs just below the bulls would be justifiably miffed if you did play in them therefore denying their club a revenue stream to help them pay their bills/creditors etc when the bulls will have just walked away from their fiscal responsibilities and started afresh. It could come down to a vote as in the case of Rangers FC newco, and who knows, some clubs take on the matter maybe to put you to the bottom of the table.
Just sayin' like

What a lot of rot!!.The players have done all the hard work on the pitch and have no control on what happens off. If they make the playoffs, then they deserve to be there.

The unique advantages of being in administration. Everyone should do it.

If we take a points deduction on the chin and the team still qualifies for what is the conclusion to the current season - then it would be agaisnt natural justice for the players and the fans not to be allowed a place in the playoffs. What happens next season is another issue but if we get over the hurdle of the points deduction the I think the current team will have more and earned the right to have a last chance to show what they can do - and the fans who have dug deep to be able to urge them on.

Yes there has been clear financial mismangement and the club will have to accept the implications for the future - but the players and fans should not be punished further this season.

If we get a point deduction and still make the playoffs it will show how poor the teams below us have been this year. With a points deduction Hull KR and Salford should be fighting for 8th.

The spirit and resilience from this Bradford team at the minute, tells me that London won't be picking up Odsal victory number Four.

London coach Rob Powell, hit the nail on the head in his post match comments after the crushing 58-12 defeat by Leeds.

"We actually played well for over 60 minutes against Leeds but at this level scores can blow out.

“We will be looking to do what we did well for longer against Bradford on Sunday."

On the referee front, our good friend Richard Silverwood for only his second Odsal appointment in 2012.

Incidentally this will be the 32nd time he's officiated Bradford in the summer era.

Bubba has a point here. In effect BB have spent fully on the Cap and have gone belly up. So in simple terms they have picked the best possible set of players and still gone bust. Other clubs have therefore every right to feel miffed if the Bulls reach the play offs

I'll take you to win by 50 - we now appear to be coached by a talentless idiot and owned by someone who doesn't seem to be interested in doing anything concrete about it.

I dont think that makes a whole load of sense. The Bulls have earned their points in the league so far by their playing results. The salary cap is progressive, so they have not spent any more than other clubs could have done upto this time.

Personally I have more doubts about finishing the season and even more about being in existence next year. Whether we are docked points, and how many, is immaterial. It does not matter if we are in the playoffs or not as this is not our priority.
Survival is the be all and all.
