If anyone is wondering yes there is a game on sunday ha.

Cant see a match squad anywhere so i think:

Kearney
George (if fit)
Henry
Purts
Foster
Sutcliffe
Gale
Nas
Disko
Sidlow
Addy
Bridge
Donno

Chev
O'brien
Olbison
Kear
(or swap any of the above for a magic prop)

We are really struggling for numbers and i fear we will get tonked.

I think I'd have Kear at the back right now.

With no props I think we're in for a hiding. I'd rest a
Few, give Roberts, Mellor, Bates, Wood a run out.

We've got a big game coming up against KR next week, that's one we should be targeting to win a long with Widnes

I agree, we need to pick our battles at the moment. But I think the giants are not yet at the races this season and of we push wide we might find a few cracks

Also, whilst I agree this game is probably not one to target, we can't be affording to get a complete drubbing, so I wouldnt be resting anyone who's fully fit. Points difference could be vital come the end of the season, we need to keep it respectable for the points difference and our fragile confidence going into next week.

I originally thought we was going to get a hiding, but maybe the thought of someone coming in and looking to strengthen the squad might give the current squad a bit of morale and raise their game

I can imagine that all the interest is going to be a boost to the players, so bring it on. To be honest, I can't really see us winning but I can see a strong performance and that's all you can ask for. And, of course, sport is played out on the paddock and not on paper, so who's to say?

Come on you Bulls!!!

You would also hope that the players would know who has taken over by sunday (or is that just to whimsical)

If we can keep it to a 20 point loss then i will be happy, all things considering.

Absolutely Bulliac.
And even just with the interest from the bids I can't wait to get to Odsal on Sunday, first time I've been really looking forward to going all season. (felt a bit more like an obligation to attend a funeral at the last home game)

Hopefully we can turn up in big numbers and really get behind the team on Sunday, whatever the result.

COYB!

There you go with you wishful thinking again

I have a feeling the loan prop that Cummins said had falling through earlier this week may have been a Salford player. Hmm.

I wouldnt think so as Salford have a fair few injuries and struggling themselves lol

I reckon it was Fakir myself before he decided to "have a break"

I can only see us getting tonked after maybe holding out for 20mins. The Hudders forwards are large and plentiful, unlike ours.

Pretty much how I see it panning out. Valiant effor in the first few minutes, maybe even us scoring first. Then as the energy levels drop, they'll cut straight through and we'll concede heavily.

Hope I'm wrong though but a good performance and no more injuries would be fine for me

Reckon you've a chance although perhaps not a great one. Although Hudds were very good against us and Wigan they were much less impressive v HKR and Widnes. Complacent? Or merely inconsistent? Either way, they haven't fully hit their straps in the first four rounds and with some luck it might not be until round 6 or after that they do.

Bulls by 20!

Strong giants squad. Lunt and Patrick only ones missing from our first choice 17.

1. Scott Grix
2. Jermaine McGillvary
3. Leroy Cudjoe
4. Joe Wardle
5. Aaron Murphy
6. Danny Brough
7. Luke Robinson
8. Eorl Crabtree
10. Craig Kopczak
11. Brett Ferres
12. Jason Chan
13. Chris Bailey
14. Michael Lawrence
16. David Faiumu
17. Ukuma Ta’ai
18. Kyle Wood
19. Jodie Broughton
20. Antonio Kaufusi
22. Jacob Fairbank

Bradford Bulls' 19-man squad to face Huddersfield Giants on Sunday, March 16 (kick-off 3pm): Danny Addy, Danny Bridge, Matt Diskin, James Donaldson, Jamie Foster, Luke Gale, Luke George, Adam Henry, Elliot Kear, Brett Kearney, Manase Manuokafoa, Alex Mellor, Adam O’Brien, Tom Olbison, Adrian Purtell, Oliver Roberts, Adam Sidlow, Liam Sutcliffe, Chev Walker.

o'brein
walker
olbison
mellor

even though mellor is young dont think we can afford to go with a back on bench

Gale needs to improve his kicking game to keep that big pack or theirs running and turning.

You have to believe you have a chance in any game, otherwise why bother turning up? But it's difficult to see how we will get anything from this game with only 2 props available. Hopefully we will keep the score respectable but I can see a bit of a blow out if we begin to tire after 60 minutes.

Delightful thread on the Giants forum regarding tomorrow's game. If any Bulls fan or player needs motivation ,have a peek.
Bullseye and MacBull valiantly trying to argue back but some of their contributors are obviously too bitter to change .
And the insults to our possible new owner have already started.

I think you're being harsh. It all seems fair-minded to me. One of them even wrote me a love letter:

Willzay is a Wakey fan !!

And you lot seem to have very short memories, another set of fans picking on poor little Bradford eh ?

Funny. At least we know why they won't bring many fans over this year. Because they are boycotting us in protest of...er...something.

That's irrelevant. It's a quote taken from the thread on your forum. Presumably the more unhinged Wakefield fans know they have safe haven on there.
