have to agree with DG in that i've never seen anyone asked to move by the stewards unless they are makin total pillocks out of themselves and winding ppl up, im not saying this never happens but i've never known it to happen, yes any away supporters sat on the kilner bank will get some banter thrown about but thats all it is unless your a leeds chav wanting to kick off in front of your mates

could have been the intolerables you came across were town fans? who have a pretty bad hatred of anything bradford

anyway im sure if you sat in the kilner bank 5 times you'd get no bother for the other 4 times

Orford's article in the T&A today sounds good. We won't play fancy rugby first, just complete sets and be disciplined. Sounds good to me, not trying to run before we can walk.

i've sat with giants fans before on the kilner bank and the banter was good natured (Robbie Paul was getting abuse for being rubbish and then he scored the next try

) I've not known RL to be silly with segragation, especially not Huddersfield. [size=50you'd have to be unlucky to fall out with 30 people.[/size

both sets of fans optimistic (hudds have good reason to be after last year) I think it's going to be a no frills battle in the pack given the weather. our backs are much better this year but our pack lacks a bit of impact. I think Kearney/Reardon/Halley will be called upon with their pace and broken field running if we're going to do well out of this. obviously i'm rooting for the bulls but we will have to shore up in defence to stop brown and robinson calling the shots.

As will they with Kearney & Orford

Indeed, Hull KR are the only other fans who seem to use the popular terrace in any numbers (but thats probably just because there simply is not enough room for them all at the Rooley lane end

)

Before the away end was used at Hud I've never had any problem with the giants fans or stewards. But then it used to be easier to find a quiet area in the stands than it is now



Huds fans are normally a welcoming enough bunch from my experience.

Looking forward to the game now, can't wait, should be a good contest even with the conditions I reckon. Game on.

I'm more interested to see how we are in defence than attack tonight, I'm hoping for a really strong defensive performance.

I tooke being disciplined to mean not missing many tackles aswell, not just about giving away penalties. But yes, a good defensive display in our first match will be very encouraging.

I think perhaps BJ and Deacon were players had in mind when Macca spoke of the new personnel being better defenders. Ox is strong defensively as well as offensively and I expect Kearney to be a significant improvement on BJ. Cooke stepped round him at Hull KR but other than that he has looked a sound defender and it is another weakness we have addressed from last year.

I agree with that, Kearney is a good defender -well you have to be to be a Full back in the NRL- And Ox is even better, and puts some hits in for his size. I think Hall will be an improvement (defensively) on Morrison, even though Morrison was nearly as solid as you could get, and you could never knock the effort. On top of that L'Estrange gets about alot more than Newton, and is alot fitter, meaning his defence is alot better if we have to repeat sets etc.

All I can say is COYB!!!

Good luck tonight! Hope you start the season with a win

Bradfords defence is utter poo bab macca,lyncy,orford and the rest need to get a grip.

Never a sin bin!

New faces, same old troubles.

It's all about the club's culture for me.

IF bradford win this i win 2 quid at work. i wont

yet again, we seem so one dimensional. After 80 mins, Hudds will have been down to 12 for at least 25% of the match, yet still we struggle.
I never thought I'd ever say this but Ganson's keeping us in it!

come on you BULLS

Which one?

Just back from a swimming gala

. Looks like we doing the usual, radio commentary saying we just woken up - but too little too late!

New season, same old story....

Who has missed all out conversions?

At least the result from Shedingley raises a smile.

If any thing huddersfield are better than we are.

I would say that is a fair comment.

Meh. Not so hot. Two tries on the last translated into a twelve point defeat.

P!ss-poor handling, and silly penalties. In short, the same bloody things that characterised last season!

On the plus side, there's signs of a good half-back duo, and Ganson seems to like us again.

Oh, and Sheriffe was mega!
