Correct decision by Baloo - some players have barely missed a game all season and with the turn around we don't want to take any chances. On a different note, loved the write up in the Mirror about the Wigan-Rhino's game:



How times change!

Great decision by coach of the year, but....I'd have picked craig k , and asked him to kick off for us, do a jig of celebration, and then immediately substitute the trophy winning ex bulls captain.

I wouldn't worry about getting badly beaten, we are missing half a dozen first team players ourselves and look set to blood some juniors of our own. Add to that the fact that we were abysmal last week against the Broncos and you could very well see a Hudds victory on Saturday!
Like a few of you have mentioned, your whole team should be well fired up for this one, aiming to impress and force their way in to contention for the playoffs. Our guys will have one eye on their jollies - as they seem to have had for quite a few weeks now

I'm thinking a celebratory conga up and down odsal is an ABSOLUTE MUST.

Haha! That'd be good to watch. There'd be plenty of room around the end to do it too. Although I do hope they'd be no intimidation of us (Bulls) standing on the terraces. All it takes is one prat from either set of fans for it to turn nasty.

Just join the back of the line and have everyone congaing

This made me laugh at my screen like a weirdo

haha now that would be worth the admission and then some

Bet 365 Evens Bradford -12

Fill your boots and cover to cost of the play off campaign by getting on that.

By Saturday Bradford will be about 1/4 for the win and +18 or so on the handicap and Sammut should have a field day.

Now when we did this against Bradford some years back we got called all names under the sun, by many clubs. Interesting how ethics are adjusted as you ascend.


Personally I don't see an issue with a coach picking a side to win, even if that is the long term win over a short term loss. But it will be interesting to see if Sky batter you as much as they did us on that day.

And that was before anyone knew about the bets at the bookies.

but didn't saints change their team after they had announced the squad?
as long as you announce that your playing the reserves I don't think its a problem, its when you don't announce that your planning on giving the young uns a run out that I don't like.

Looking forward to getting wet through tomorrow.....

Again - haven't dried out from last time yet

Should I take a brolly?

Only if you want it stamping on.

Or find an empty piece of terracing.

'Two 'ats' it is then.

taken it yesterday.

Back then you didn't have to.

It was because off Saints that this rule now exists, along with no ball watering, no ball heading etc etc etc....

I'm really looking forward to seeing the young uns play. Should be a party atmosphere and no pressure on the guys.

If tomorrow is a party it will be the sort where you invite everyone you know and then hardly anyone turns up.

I think the announced squad and the weather might put a few off, would be a shame, but understandably, be a shame if the young uns don't get support, after all they are still representing Yorkshire, Britain,europe and the northern hemisphere's premier rugby league team.

Not just thinking of our fans think Bradford supporters will stay away in numbers to and City being home to Brentford won't help either.

Well those of us that are going will give the young uns plenty of support regardless of the weather, it wouldn't be an away trip to Odsal if it wasn't cold wet and miserable !!
