Both I suppose

, I always enjoy the trips to the Shay my missionary work there is always entertaining, have you and Halifaxjohn got the hang of the Knife and Fork yet? As for our first defeat? Not sure when that will be , don't hold yer breath.

Huddshay doesn't need a knife and fork, just a glass.

Having looking in to bradfurts squad, I actually think it is worth a bet, can't see anyone other than bradfurt beating us and I think that itself is highly unlikely

Big talk, I hope it doesn't come back and bite you! Just got my ticket for 15th!

Where have the Bulls been allocated?? - have they been given the South Stand

Yep

If any team goes undefeated in all the Championship league games this season I'd wager they will be in SL next year as that would be some momentum.
Personally I think it will be the toughest comp for a very long time (its been a while since every result of every game has really mattered) and can't wait for next Sunday!

Thats a fair quote, and momentum will be the main word come the top 8.

I fancy Leigh and Bradford against the bottom 2 SL teams, should we only lose 1 or 2 all season.

If a SL team starts getting 'wupped', I fear they will not be in SL next year.

Hope you fill it - reckon there could be a big turn out from you guys, I'm sure you have very big hopes for this season

Our only hope is that one or more SL team is on the slide come the middle 8s. If the bottom 4 are all equally matched and battle-hardened because it's been a tight race at the bottom, then what chance have we on half the salary cap?

Now I know you'll point to your wonderful cup run but this is a mini-league situation and I do question whether either you, Bradford or anyone else could compete like that again.

I've always believed this is fake promotion simply to appease aspiring clubs such as yourselves, but I would dearly like to be proved wrong.

Does the fact the bottom club of super league will have possibly spent 800K more on their squad really mean the 17 vs 17 will be unequal? I certainly believe not, the team work and culture built at our great club by Paul Rowley over the last 3 years is priceless and would cost a lot more than the 800K difference.

We are a young ambitious team who whether with Leigh or not the majority want and deserve to be playing in SL. I wish i could get a bet on now for finishing in the top 3 of the middle 8 as i would bite the bookies arm off!!

You say the majority want Leigh in superleague but there's muppets up and down facebook saying SL needs to reduce by ANOTHER 2 teams. The mind boggles.

He was talking about our players

What your players would like to play top flight Rugby? Well well well.

Yeah amazing isnt it....



Do you fancy a bet on each of the 7 middle 8 games we will play?

I'll happily raid the kids piggybanks to fund such a thing. But we haven't a clue what the fixtures will be.

Yeah we have, its the top 4 of the championship and the bottom 4 of SL. I dont give a monkeys who the other 7 are, why does it make a difference to you? You said we cant/wont get promoted!!!

I know I did!!!!! I thought you wanted score predictions from me which would be impossible if I don't know the fixtures! I'm frightfully sorry that I misunderstood you old bean. I think the middle 8 will finish:

Hull
Hull kr
Widnes
Wakefield
Leigh
Bradford
London
Featherstone

You lose 28-6 in the million pound game against the Rhubarb munching sods.

If you want to tell me specifically what other doom and gloom you want from me I'll see what I can do...

Just the amount of money you will donate to LISA when we finish in the top 3?



i do agree those are most likely to be the 4 SL clubs though

If you are promoted I hereby declare to all of you fine people that I Pumpetypump, moderator of the Bradford Bulls forum, will pay LISA the sum of £25.

It would be a pleasure to do so.

I wish Leigh all the good luck next year , one of my fav team after Salford. Just wondering your thoughts on getting promoted next year and whether u think SL reducing will up the quality even more this year. Will this make it harder for Leigh or do u expect any teams to drop to the bottom and take lots of heavy beatings, point wise and confidence wise?

Thanks. I think if we play as well as we did last year with the improvement in fitness from going full time we'll be promoted. For 6 years of franchising the bottom of SL has stagnated & so there's an overlap in quality with the top of the Champ, especially now everyone has improved with the extra funding & chance of promotion. Super League is going to realy improve in qulity in the coming years as clubs either improve or are replaced & I think a few might be.

Personally I think we can beat any of the bottom four, especially at the end of the season when, as you say, they will have lost more games than they have won - also all the pressure will be on those teams and a losing team tends not to have much confidence, especially when there's so much at stake. On the other hand, any championship team that makes the top four will be bursting with confidence and out to prove a point. All I know is that it's going to be very tasty.

Nice one
