Get the buses booked and bring over a couple of thousand, it should be a belter!

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.

Tough opening game but at least it gets it out of the way.

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.

Mmmm, SDL only eh? Us Championship clubs not fit to grace your iconic stadium?

and if we decided to do a Keegan, this is the lineup:

Sidlow
A O'B
Davies
Olbison
Walshaw
Peterson

Sieljka
Gaskell

Uisele
Shaw
Henry
Purtell
Ulugia

Bench

Clough
Tahraoui
Mullaney
Addy

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.

Tough start for Leigh:

Bradford Bulls (H)
Halifax (A)
London Broncos (H)
Doncaster (A)
Featherstone Rovers (A)

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.

Listen to Charlie , he knows

.

Dont think ive ever seen a tougher start to a campaign than that

You would be surprised what Charlie knows

.

Well said.

Charlie has had a weak Prostrate for a while now , but loves a Challenge

.

I know Charlie has been reported to the RFL for jumping the gun.

Just checked the full list and did a big cheer - NO FRIDAY NIGHTS and virtually every game on Sunday with a KO around 3 o'clock. If I'd know it was so good down here I'd have voted to join earlier..

Don't we play Fax at 8pm on a Friday night?

It depends on whether you get your fixtures from the club site or from the t&a:

APRIL

FRI 3 HALIFAX H TBC
Mon 6 Dewsbury Rams A TBC
SUN 12 LONDON BRONCOS H 3PM
Sun 26 Doncaster A TBC

Bulls site says:

03/04/2015 – Bulls v Halifax (8.00pm)
06/04/2015 – Dewsbury Rams v Bulls (3.15pm)
12/04/2015 – Bulls v London Broncos (3.00pm)
26/04/2015 – Doncaster v Bulls (TBC)

The Fax and Dewsbury fixtures are our Easter ones so not the normal schedule.

Naughty Step

.

simply the order I used to select the team, so me being lazy.

In a normally selected team neither can I.

Others have tried and failed.

won't be played in the middle of Feb....

and if we finish third I won't be bothered!

Must admit when I read the list my first thought was "I wonder when we'll find out which games will be re-arranged by SKY....."

One week in and this is very tired already.

Started not very funny and has rapidly gone downhill.

I'll take you off ignore when you learn the difference between prostate and prostrate.

Leigh away please.
