I wouldnt drop Sherriffe he's a big unit maybe we can utilise him from the bench as a utility forward or back?

I'd heard a rumour that there's a good chance Nero will be fit.

I hope so, he's been one of our better preformers so far this season. if that is the case think id change it slightly to

Platt
Tadulala
Nero
Sykes
Halley
Jeffries
Rinaldi
Lynch
Newton
Burgess
Cook
Langley
Menzies

Scruton
Kopzcak
Solomona
Sheriffe/Worrincy

I hope so, what are the odds d'ya reckon?

Hmmm,


Halley
Tadulala
Nero
Sykes
Sheriffe
Jeffries
Rinaldi
Lynch
Newton
Burgess
Langley
Solomona
Menzies

Scruton
Platt
Cook
Worrincy

Depends if they find him.

buddum tisch. Yup. Here all week.

I've often found in a build up containing phrases like "they'll smash us" or "we're gonna get annihalated" it's either damn close, or the unthinkable happens.

Either way, I'd love to see Bradford become competitive again.

Enjoy the game Friday.

If the players give 110% and play with HEART, PASSION & PRIDE.

We will win this

Don't bet on the Bulls this week Mick

Not had a bet in 8 days now

We may be missing Leon Pryce, if that helps, and Jason Cayless has become Scully Part 2 (out for 10 weeks following shoulder surgery).

I'm hoping you find whatever it is that has been missing and give us one helluva match (which we win, obviously

). Bradford should be competing. There's something not quite right in the world when Bradford are not competing.

I wouldn't back the Bulls this week. Saints are far too potent out wide for our current Bulls side. That's before you even think of the damage Roby and Cunningham can do on the back of their quick play the balls.

Bradford have a +24 start on the hubcap.

Is that enough ???

When was the last time the bookies gave us a four try start ???

Should be an interesting encounter. I'm sorry I'm going to miss it, actually.

I have some balloons to take.. no black ones though.
Loads of yellow and orange (kinda like amber eh?) and a few red ones.
Come on!

Depends which Bulls side turns up!

Got any black marker/whiteboard pens? . . . . .Anyone?

So lets get back on topic what do you think can be classed as a positive outcome from the game.

A good performance, less silly errors, get over the tryline a few times and if we lose, not by a deficit of 20 or more.

A win would be nice.

Running them fairly close <10 points. No queues on the M62. And the car not on bricks. That would make for a more positive evening.

Looking like we're up for it would be a good start. If we go into the game thinking we're beaten we'll get thrashed.

A positive outcome would be a performance where we put Saints under some pressure, avoid any howlers and come away with some dignity. A decent defensive display would be very welcome. If we can do it there we can do it anywhere.

As for the chances of us doing any of this, who knows?

A performance of anything approaching competence and keeping Saints under 40.

Sounds like most on here have pretty low expectations of the match.
That's quite sad.

Think I am correct in saying that Saints haven't conceded more than 22 points in a game so far this season, somehow I can't see Bradford beating that.

Are Saints going to struggle to get less than 22 at home to Bradford ? I really doubt it, Saints by 30 for me.

Yeah but thats assuming you will all be fit because Terry Monster is going to bash up all your best players again in veageance for last years game when you cheated a win through false penalties. Without Graham and Gidley and Pryce Saints will win no silverware
