Don't think they are as it was hastily arranged but i'm sure if anyone wishes to make a contribution i can get some info on where to donate if you like ?

"having a go" / "owe you something" ...... its inside your head. If people don't want to watch their club or support a very good RL professional that's their choice.....not going because of a post on a forum is laughable.

Another mythical loss of tickets ! oh dear, never mind.

Yes please

Nope you are wrong - read page 3 again - Bulls fans having a laugh with each other then you have a go at our team.

So if we dont want to go then, thats our choice;
But if we say [uwhy [/uwe dont want to go that upsets you

tough!

Can all Bulls fans that dont want to go on Sunday (for whatever reason) please dont let Ginger know the reason cos it upsets him

I wouldn't waste your time or breath on b84. Every club has its clowns and he is one of the Giants.

I think Robinson deserves a good turn out and out lads definitely deserve a decent following. It will be good for some talk on here about what's happened out on the field.

Exactly, also, it's an actual game of rugby in 2017 involving Bradford! I'm there, didn't think we'd see it. The first of this incarnation of Bradford rl, I feel I have to go, each to their own though if people don't fancy it for whatever reason. I'm just so fed up about finance, admin, liquidated, players leaving etc that I can't wait to see 13 players on a pitch playing in red amber and black.....(at least I hope we are and not in a giants away strip!)we can then discus how long a season it's going to be having witnessed how far behind we are first hand

If anyone would like access to the players post match bar tomorrow there will be a charge of £2, which can be paid for at the stadium reception.

Luke Robinson added that he is pleased to see things on the up for Sunday’s opposition Bradford Bulls

I still remember Robinson playing in the 2003 Grand Final for Wigan as a kid. Essentially thrown in at the deep end with only a handful of first team games, because Adrian Lam went down injured right at the end of the season. Doesn't seem 5 minutes ago, so it's quite odd to tomorrow be attending his testimonial game after he's retired.

Cudjoe is still cr@p

Bloody hell same as fev stand tax. Looking unlikely I can make it but hope for Luke's sake more than anything there's a decent crowd there

Have we actually announced a squad for the game?

Can't understand why, if they want a good turnout for Luke Robinson, they don't play an away match.

Luke has always been a model professional. He put his body on the line more than some, he's been knocked out several times had his ear stitched back on more than once, been targeted as the "little man" but always played with heart and determination. He postponed his wedding to turn out for his country, and was a stand out in that competition after giving up so much.
Him putting his hand up to play meant he has had to have a hip replacement at 30 years of age, this will need redoing as it won't last a lifetime, it can only be done twice, he will potentially end his years in a wheelchair as a result - all this because of the game of rugby league.
For me this is a TRUE testimonial for a little guy with a massive heart.
If people can't or don't want to attend that's fine- but to snub the game because of a line written on a forum seems to me is even more petty than the original comment.
This guy, and his family, has given up so much for the game we love. He deserves our support. Hope to see many of you there.

When you say he has given so much up, does that mean he wasn't been paid for doing something he loved !!!

Well said. Hope there is a good size crowd to support Luke and his family. One of RLs good guys!!!

I will be going to the game for two reasons. 1. To recognise the career of Luke. 2. To support my team. We've been through a lot recently and some of the stick we've been getting is justified, I would have preferred to start as a new team in Championship 1 and earn some respect back but the Rfl have decided otherwise. I would urge as many Bulls supporters to go and support the lads that turn out for the game.

Now I could make an equally facetious comment back to your comment-but under the circumstances I won't.
We all get paid for doing our jobs. Most of us don't end up with ill health or circumstances that will change our later quality of life as a result. If that is the case then people usually claim compensation from the company they work for.

Excellent points. I will be there to see the Giants for the first time in 2017 and for Luke.

However, all banter and antipathies aside, I will also be pleased there is a Bradford team. I will always want the Giants to beat you, obviously. But Bradford is a very important club for TGG and it would be poorer without you. So I hope many will come and enjoy the first game of your new era.

I hope so too. Thanks for your comments, let's hope we see a good game and Luke gets a decent payday.

You make it sound like he was forced to play the game, also the injury he has had to quit the sport was something that happened over a long period of time, he new the risks while playing as does everyone else, your trying to make out this guy was some kind of super hero, he was a guy getting paid to do a job, end of

Mate, it's a hard and dangerous game, and people get hurt - sometimes badly.

For sure, no-one makes them play, but they do, and we go and glory in the big hits, crunching tackles and people being mashed up, so please don't be so churlish about giving a bit back. If you don't want to go then don't, it's your choice.

I will be there my friend

Yes it was an injury that happened over a long period of time-something he has probably been struggling with every time he played and trained but he still continued to go out on that field without holding back. To suggest it's ok for him to end up in a wheelchair because he got PAID to play is more than churlish it's downright disgusting!

I agree 100% with you Jools
