I really must be travelling on the wrong M62 5 days a week from Leeds, Frank do you really expect to get to Bradford after leaving the sports village on a Friday night at 6.30pm? There are 9 miles of road works to contend with? Any how I will be there these mid week Yorkshire games sit nicely when you have to work daily on the wrong side of the Pennies and that Friday is pay day!!

Well Ste when we played at Dewsbury earlier this season we got there quickly enough took about an hour. Fridays after 6pm M62 is hardly chocker.

Each to their own thoughts (and not having a pop at anyone) but if a game v one of the biggest names in British RL isn't one of our important games than what are we saying is







Hopefully Dave Parky will be able to reveal more when he does his Millward interviews on who's decision it was to play Friday, the logic behind it and (hopefully if possible) if he views the fixture as a chance to give some 'fringe' players a run out or a test to see where we are.
Until we know the facts it could easily have been Bradford insistant on a Friday evening game (you may say unlikely - and I'd reluctantly agree



, but you never know).

Anyhow before all that we've got the small matter of Sheffield eagles......
Anyone remember the days when we viewed them as our closest rivals in the league (think it was during the 8 division league), produced a few cracking games

I'll be there with the grandkids, looking forward to it, hope we give them a really close game!

What day do Widnes play Wi@@n in the Cup? surely they are going to be tired also!
Having a Championship sqaud is it worth getting injuries in a game we will NOT win and, we will be lucky to even compete in!

A home game is a showpiece, an away game is a potential disaster on the injury front for no reward.

We will not be able to compete on a Friday against a full strength Bradford, we must get to a GF or win the NRC. Rest the key players for Widnes and the NRC.

we should play full strenght squad, give it a right good goo! i dont think we are going to win , lets be honest theres a big difference between ourselfs and the bull.

a close game will raise a few eyebrows !!

It will not be a close game, not even with our 4 DC who will not be playing.
Leigh will be working all week and then playing a quality FT team away from home. We will have players putting bodys on the line for nothing.
I was looking forward to this game as much as the next man, but I can now see the bigger picture and it aint glory at Bradford.

Didn't Jake Emmit play against Limoux? According to the Leigh reporter he did so Millward must be using him & hopefully against the Bulls if he's not recalled which I doubt.

Afraid he didn't play - here's the team from the Limoux game:-

LEIGH: Stuart Donlan, Steve Maden, Dave Alstead, Mick Nanyn, Nick Stanton; Martyn Ridyard, Robbie Paul; Chris Hill, Dave McConnell, Ricky Bibey, Jimmy Taylor, Macgraff Leuluai, Tommy Goulden. Subs: John Duffy, Dave Armitstead, Mike Morrison, Adam Higson.

My view is we should send our best available side. Would those who suggest a weakened side have the same view if we were playing Wigan. I doubt it somehow.

I'm sure Millward will send his best possible side barring injuries etc. I don't think they'll want to sell the fans short and he'll think we can make a game of it.

I hope to god that Bradford think they have won this already, I don't think people realise the difference in us since Paul Terzis left, to now under Basil. If they have, a shock could (please!) could be on the cards!

Surely the rlf should have some sort of ruling were the fulltime sat on asres super league clubs have to fit in the working all week national league teams?

Weres this so called level playing field they keep banging on about achieving?

I don't know why this is a Friday game; Bulls play 3pm Sundays. Maybe its at your request, so you have enough time before your next, crucial, game?

Bulls put the full first team, bar a couple with nagging injuries, out against Dewsbury. Rams were pants first half, and heroes second half. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and thoroughly enjoyed being at their stadium. Dewsbury's defence in the second half would have shamed no one. And their fans were great.

I hope our game against you is the same. I think it will be. You'll see the full first team, I'm sure of that. The coach will afford you total respect, as is warranted. If he and the team does not, we'll be out.

A great opportunity for our lads to test themselves against Quality SL opposition.

Why we would want to put out a weakened side God knows ?

If we give Bradford a good go, then the Championship games should be an easier pill to swallow ?

If we are going to disrespect the CC just because we play Bradford, then we may as well not have bothered travelling to Limoux !

Millward said last night he would play his first team bar the dual reg lads, but after them he only has 21 to choose from anyway.

Why the moaning about 8pm on a Friday - it's Bradford FFS - not Outer Mongolia!!!!

It's an hours drive up the M62. I did the journey, morning and night for over six years, and it is no worse on a Friday than any other day of the week.

Prices look well pitched as well. Does the Junior Season Ticket (free) refer to ours as well as theirs??

Even if not - £15 for me and Walt Jnr. to attend sounds like a bargain - even if it is to watch the game in a hole in the ground!!



Just remember - all you 'umm'rs and ahh'rs, and naysayers who are poo-pooing the idea of going........remember Blackpool in '06, when those happy few of us that bothered witnessed a memorable result, against "The Most Famous Club In The World" (copyright HKRLFC 2006) !!!

If you don't go, you might live to regret it!!

Spot on



Worth checking in Walt Jnr's voucher book to see if there are Challenge Cup vouchers at the back, think they should apply.
