Ideal situation for mine. We'll probably lose this one, and can quite reasonably blame it on lack of time for the squad. And it gets by far the most difficult match of the season out of the way first up.
And if we do happen to pull off a win, then we get bragging rights on this forum
It's a long season, and nothing will be decided by what happens on the first week

| Couldn't really pick two tougher away games to begin with, especially given the amount of new players we will have to mould into a team. I fully expected we would be away to Leigh though, we're the big draw in that league. We will bring the largest following and we'll be the team that everyone will be looking to beat. Let's hope the players are ready for the challenge and extra pressure on their shoulders.

| Set up nicely from a league perspective. Leigh will beat the Bulls (trying to be realistic, the team will be too 'new' to perform at their best on the 1st day of the season) - Then all the pundits will be screaming about how close the championship is compared to the bottom end of SL, thus trying to raise the profile of the championship to other viewers.

| You have been reading too many David Cameron shot JFK constipation sorry conspiracy theories, Byb. No reference to a computer and random choice on the RFL website, so not random, for obvious PR reasons. and your conspiracy theory is really a bit shallow: check out the Blackpool bash: Featherstone before, London after, so GUESS WHO WE WILL GET FOR THAT GAME?? HUNSLET???? i dont think so.
as for me, I dont want a single easy game out of the 23, because its all good prep for the S8s. Promotion is the objective.

| I really was hoping the joke mid season contest would be canned once the new structure came into force. The fact that it is in Blackpool only gives me further reason to find something else to do that weekend!

If anyone wants that list as a .CSV file which can be imported into most versions of Outlook, I've made and uploaded one here:

Jut a great start to the season. Can't wait now!
I think our last league match against Leigh was
Round 5 Fri 11 Mar 2005 Leigh 6 - 46 Bradford ref: Karl Kirkpatrick Att: 4,241

| I don't give a flying toss about juicy games I only care about being promoted and this game on balance is a hindrance to that aim.
They are very good and we are very new. Why people think playing them first is great I simply don't get.

cynical, not harsh. unless you are an optimist. anyway, my cynical team selection for our first game.designed to knock the s**t out of Leigh, full stop.
Sidlow
O'B
Davies (one SL experienced and one lesser experienced prop on the pitch at the same time, Davies looks more mobile than Tahraoui so is my pick for this game)
Walshaw
Ferguson
Pitts
Sieljka
Gaskell
Williams
Baille
Blythe
Uisele
Ulugia
bench:
Fleming
Clough
Mullaney
Purtell
Yes I know on paper it does not have the sparkle we all look for, but the RFL have given us a task and thats how I would respond.

Should win at least 3-4 games here at the beginning of the season. Leigh and Featherstone will give us a very early indication of where we are at but I don't expect the squad to be fully gelled by then.

Is there some reason I'm missing why your naming your lineup in reverse order to usual, ie starting at fullback and working forward, or are you just trying to be obtuse?
Can't see ulugia starting at FB ahead of mullaney either.
