Its going to need some continued improvement from last week but I think we can win this. The youngsters in the pack will front up better now than against Hudds. Really hope L'Estrange makes the team though.

If we get a good start and a couple of scores I think Hull will fold. Think they are brittle at the moment and the crowd will get on their backs aswell. I've put money where my mouth is so we better win!

Where do you get this 'big pack' idea from? We're not big at all. Dowes n Moa are not big for props n Radford is very small for a prop. Manu/Westerman are hardly giants in the 2nd row are they.

O'Meley's as big as two blokes and Fitzgibbon's a big fella. Lauaki's a bit of a monster too. Manu may not be huge but he breaks plenty of tackles (more than most others in SL).

Dont know how you can say hull not got a big pack lummer? Fitzgibbon, Omeley, Lauaki, etc and as mentioned before manu is a quality player and can break any tackles. We will be up against it tonight and the key to us winning could be the diskin and lestrange combination to get us going forward. Crucial lestrange plays in my opinion. We also need to spread to ball wide!!!!!!!!!

Many coming tonight? Looking forward to it.

I've just had a quick pop round the houses of every Bulls fan in the region to ask them, and can confirm that 592.3 people are coming.

Didn't realise I asked one poster to speak for everyone. But thanks for your efforts!

thats what harlequins thought at 30-16 with 15 minutes to go, unlike the fans, the players are fully behind agar the terrible and after last weeks 'farcical' refereeing decisions at crucial stages of the game im sure they will be pumped up for this game

I unfortunately am unable to make the game due to work. But I look forward to listening to the commentary when I get home

L'Estrange and Sibbit on the the bench. Kearney at fullback with Sykes at SO. Whitehead, Olbison and Donaldson start. No Elima, took me awhile to catch up on that one! Could miss him, big game needed from Olbison and Whitehead.

game over then

Big game required from the young back row boys. Playing against some very seasoned pros in Tickle, Manu and Fitzgibbon. Game will be won and lost here in my opinion.

Bridge too far without elima I feel in terms of senior forwards missing. Apparently Briggs has warmed up, although he isn't going to play. Good sign for upcoming fixtures. Performance more important than result tonight I feel.

Is more difficult with Elima, so many tackles to make up for and without Scruton either. Will need another 44 tackle game by Donaldson. Still, not kissing my money goodbye yet.

Can someone who's at the game comment once it starts on whether Kearney is sticking to FB with Sykes at SO or whether its effectively the same as last week? Sykes shouldn't be our playmaker or main kicking option.

6-0 to Bulls. Cracking start.

Sounds like a quality move for the second. Royston in, kick to come.... 0-12

Come on Bulls! Class boys! Keep it up now

12-0, Royston following a Herbert chip and an Ah Van hack forward.

Shame to have missed this as we're sounding like we're putting in a good performance

Great start.

Whats with the early kicks?

Keep it up boys. COYB!

Can hear the COYB over the radio, quality.

TBH, it sounds on the radio that it's a combination of a good start by Bradford and Hull being the architects of their own demise.

A win would be first on the wish list for the game. But, on top of that, I'd like to see a good defensive performance which keeps Hull to 12 points or less for tonight as we've leaked a lot of points this year and I'm not a fan of this Keegan-esque style of "we'll score one more than you" that the Bulls seem to have
