Up next London at home. What changes will we make for this. Looks like Walker will be heading to HKR to cover for Coote. Is Lawrence nearly back? What’s up with Foster as well? Is Segeyaro available? Another must win for me even though London have strengthened with the likes of Butler and Norman.

I don’t think I’ve seen an update on Foster but the injury happened in the warmup at Barrow because he was withdrawn and the 18th man used.
For the rest, it depends on Jowitts utility value. Segeyaro will share hooking slot with Lilley still so Jowitt will need a position. It’ll either be Holmes or Jowitt at FB with the other in the halves. Lawford can cover in the halves as well.

With Toulouse playing Fev this round, we could be in the top 4, 2 points clear of 5th place at the halfway point of the season.

Going to be one hell of a tough game though as we're playing the form team.

The club already confirmed Segeyaro is available.
Foster doesnt get in the 17 whether he is fit or not.
Butler was absoute s**t for us so who cares if he playes for London.
Norman is banned so thats irrelevant.

Do we keep a winning side or go with some fresh legs considering our 2 games in 5 days recently?

9 day turn around from Newcastle to London. No issues on that front

So keep a winning side then. Maybe Segeyaro in on the bench if Walker is out.

London are looking really good at the moment, we will have to be on top form to get anything from this game.

I'd try and stick with the same 17 barring any injuries that may have been picked up during the Thunder game. I'd assume Jowitt will come in for Walker at FB and perhaps Segeyaro gets the final bench spot. It would be good to have Lawrence back for this game too.

Great position to be in isnt it having selection headaches.
Segeyaro will be in the 17 somewhere id imagine. If lawrence is fit he will be in. Id say Johnson is the 1st one at risk of losing his spot. Id have him out and for Lawrance/Matongo.

Yeah. First time in a while we can leave someone out for not being good enough. I’d agree. I thought Johnson would have offered more when he came but I’ve been a bit underwhelmed by him. Hasn’t done anything majorly wrong, just not as good as Rodgers, Baldy, Appo and Scurr have been.

I would go with
Jowitt
Blackmore
Arundel
Gill
Foggin Johnston
Patton
Holmes
Baldwinson
Lilley
Rogers
England
Butler
Thompson

Segeyaro
Appo
Lawurence
Matongo

If all are fit that’s my lineup. Will be a tough test with an improving London side.

Missed Scurr off shows what I know!

I’d start Lawrence replace Baldwinson with scurr

Although Widnes were really poor. They kept coughing up possession on the 2nd or 3rd tackle through forward passes, clean drops etc. JK must have been going mental.

Seem to recall saying that I wasn't impressed by the Johnson signing at start of year and RagingBull bit my head off for the mere suggestion.

Glad to see everyone coming round to my opinion at last

Really? After watching his last couple of years here I'd thought that was his playing style?

I think the key to beating London tomorrow is matching them physically, which we can do, and getting completion rates above 80%, which we can also do. Those 2 things, at Odsal, should deliver the 2 points

Well, the London reserves were pretty poor. 84-6 final score. We played well

What a hammering!

Another big test for the Bulls. Heat will also play a factor tomorrow. It’s going to be very hot!

Another first. George Snr and George Jnr each scored hat tricks in the same game!
Connor Wynn looked very good from fullback. Trialist Rodgers was a handful too.

Coming up from London, intend to cycle from station to Wibsey area, any recommendations for a pub? Train back to Leeds around 6-6.15. Any suggestions around the station for a decent ale? Thanks in advance.

Dog and Gun on St Enochs Road is good or Top House and Cue Gardens near the ground.

There’s a pub right outside Bradford Interchange called the Queens but I wouldn’t say it’s great in there! Just cheap. Not far from the interchange there is the Ginger Goose, Drum Winder, Weatherspoons (Turls Green) and Ye Old Crown (a sports bar).

Near the ground there is Q Gardens, Top House (be busy but full of friendly people) and Bankfoot Cricket Club.

In Wibsey there’s Ancient Foresters, White Swan and George IV. Dog and Gun is further out from the high street but a good pub. It’s best to have a gander on google and have a look to see which you’d personally prefer. Hope you have a safe journey up and enjoy your time here!

Holmes at FB with Jowitt at 6. Should be a cracker this, really looking to it.
