Last time I went to Odsal watching Leigh in the challenge cup you stuffed us (thanks google) 58-16 in 2010. I know we could lose this one, but hopefully if we did it wouldn't be another spanking.


The stats from the game are below, some pretty good players on show, most of them in a Bradford shirt, obviously.

Our coach has recently chastised the players for having the impudence to think they're as good as Leigh's players so having so publicly put them in their place I'd like to know what he's going to say to them before this game.

Get yer ticket early as it'll definitely sell out.

Ah the nostalgia. And to think some of us were critical of quite a number of those players at the time.

Little did we know

Robbie Hunter Paul in the line up but for the Leigh side?! It completely slipped my mind that he played for Leigh, albeit very briefly. Steve Menzies and Elliot Whitehead in the Bulls squad alongside the enigma, Michael Worrincy.

3 Bulls still playing from that side 12 years ago and they'd all walk into the current team.

I was at this game also, no idea why I went it was obvious we'd get stuffed, but can't remember how well you were doing in SL at that time. Robbie (Hunter) Paul was a massive signing for us, he was doing okay (generally) I seem to remember. But then he got a tackle badly wrong on Sheffield Eagles 'beast' Menzie Yere, think he retired shortly after. Do you reckon our game will be televised ? Hope it's not on a Monday night.

There is 4

Sykes
Whitehead
Donaldson
Kopout

I remember the game well. Menzies and L'Estrange were superb.

I remember the Bradford Half Back simply passing the ball to a young Martin Ridyard to score under the posts. Leigh took a good few to that game, but typical of Odsal, felt like 200 in attendance, not the 4k ! Happy Days !

I thought Sykes had finally retired?

I think he's playing when there short.

To be fair I think Steve Menzies would still walk into our team... and he's nearly 50!!!

Sadly I think Worrincy would... and he's still garbage.....

Monday night it is, live on premier Sports.

Premier Sports will continue their coverage of the Betfred Challenge Cup with the Fifth Round clash between Championship heavyweights Bradford Bulls and Leigh Centurions on Monday, March 14 at Odsal Stadium.
The game will kick off at 745pm, in the regular Monday Night Rugby League slot which has become so popular on Premier Sports this season. Ticket details for this tie will be available in due course.

A poor decision for me. Unlikely to have many travelling over from Leigh to watch them tonk us again on premier sports but in a much worse looking venue.

Poor decision by who?

Premiers sports pick the game they want to broadcast. They are a tv company that relies on viewing figures. Of course they are going to want to televise a game between the 2 best supported sides in this round of the competition. Its the perfect for tie for them as a broadcaster.

Don’t be to hard on yerselves,I think the game will be a lot closer in the Cup , I take nothing for granted ,Bradford are not a bad side .

Not that Leigh need any help but Monday night very much favours the side with the full time squad IMHO.

Yup don’t get me wrong i understand why it was chosen. I purposely didn’t place blame on the club as I know it’s out of their hands.

I just think it is a poor decision based on the points I said plus as Mr beast says it doesn’t help that out part time players will be at work Monday and Tuesday.

I know SL clubs get cash from sky per game televised. Anyone know if this is the same?

He home team get compo

You should do. We really arent very good

Well it won't look like they're the two best supported sides. The game is almost a foregone conclusion and Odsal will be virtually deserted.

The most sensible approach would be to only open the main stand, sell tickets for £15 and try and get that stand opposite the cameras looking reasonably full.

I agree there's no point opening the entire dump, just the corrugated shed where we keep the seats.
