Love Halloumi, I find it struggles to last the full grilling though and and completely falls apart 3/4 before the end.

My take on the game against London is that last month I went camping with some people from work. They got mixed up with what they'd put on the barbecue first which culminated in me sinking my teeth into literally raw belly pork. It was a vile experience, but still more fun than watching Bradford.

Google is my friend...

B Evans, Murphy, Lawford and Flanagan Jr miss out. Good to see Kibula and Fleming not in there too.

I wonder if its to do us playing Saturday & Friday the last two weeks so squad isn't being confirmed until after Thursday training?

On the game, again this has typical Bulls defeat written all over it. You look at the table and it's a game we should win, but London have been playing well lately.

I don't think he'll play, but I'd love to see George Flanagan Jr having a run out. Think the fan base need a lift at the moment and a young star breaking through could be the small tonic we need.

Perfectly able to use google thanks. I know the sqaud was available. My point was, its normally announced 48 hours before the game, that would have been 6pm last night not 1/2 oclock this afternoon or what ever it was. Granted its only asmall think but its just another thing to add to the list of unprofessionalism from the club

Flanagan Jr not turning out for the academy tonight. Could be a pointer that he will get a chance in the first team tomorrow.

Agree it would be a boost to have a young home grown lad or two to get behind to give us something to get excited about given the playoffs like unlikely.

Confirmed GF jr makes his debut against London

Bold choice. Dunning using the academy as it’s meant to be used. If they’re good enough, they’re old enough.

I think Mumby made his debut when he was 16 and that didn't turn out too bad.

He did and I think he scored over 30 points on his debut.

27

Still pretty good.

I'm missing beer and bbq for tonight's game so if I am turning up those shyster better be too...COY oh what's the point, we never get past three times anyway...

Half time and its one poor southern shower beating an equally poor northern shower. It's really desperately sad to see how low we've sunk in the level of rugby being played.
Only glimmer is young Flanagan - injected much needed pace into both attack and defence. Crowd sp tonight, but then it is London

Very flat, 2 poor teams.

They’ve been marginally better. We’ve had more ball in their half but don’t know what to do with it.

Attendance just given as 2,752 on the commentary

Of course, there'll be non-attending ST holders in that number - no idea how many are in the ground

I did a "back of the fag packet" count up just before kick off. I reckon there was no more than 1700 souls to witness that shower.

Great coaching appointment this is turning out to be, who would’ve thought it?

Agree there was no where near 2700 there.

I dont think there is a word in the english language that can describle that performance.

16 senior players shown up by a 17 year old on debut. We looked nothing like a team today.

We are terrible. Utterly terrible. 3 wins at home all season. Speaks volumes.

After the absolute shower that was served up in Newcastle most of us expected a response. What we got was another poor performance.

We were clueless in attack. Slow, out of shape and overweight. Players going through the motions and far too many passengers. Lilley and Patton offered nothing today. Jowitt (if fit) or Lawford should be given a chance next week. The board and coaches must see that the playoffs are a fantasy now and we must start planning for next year.

We were dominated by an improving London team and never once looked like winning the game. There was a 5 min spell when GFJr scored where I thought we would take control of the game but we didn't and faded out of the game.

What a terrible season we are having.

Well my halloumi and courgette skewers with a chilli and mint marinade went down a treat washed down with copious amounts of Sol. Fabulous afternoon and everyone left happy.

Sounds like the fare at Odsal was more raw pork with a side of dog .

I've now just about had enough of throwing 20 quid away every few weeks. The new coaching regime really got their message across to the players this week.
The half back pair are really not working together, the forwards are ineffectual, our try line plays - both attack and defence - are woeful, and ( this is my own hangup, I admit ) there's nobody on the field who I can call my "favourite player". By that, I mean like Minchella, James Lowes, Mick Withers, Leon, and numerous others who I've had regard for over the years. This lot are just not up to wearing the shirt any more.
