Pleased Jerry made it back in the 19 was concerned when he went off at Wakey, that is one big unit, even without Fielden

Interesting, seems like squad rotation to me, Kopczak, Eorl, Mullally and Larne as props then. Assuming Jerry is fit Luke George to miss, but does Ta'ai come in and for whom? Cording or Fairbank?

Must confess I think Cording has been getting better and better so does not deserve to miss out, also offers cover in the backs, though not sure that is a huge thing in his favour as moving Leroy to wing last week significantly weakened us defensively imo and allowed Lauatiti into the game.

no fielden, no big surprise always knew we would be looking after him this season, and mullally did ok last week.

ta'ai i think will play in place of cording or fairbank..

good win by the under 19s last night too v bradford...

that zac mccomb got another try..thats 4 in 2 games! is he a centre or wing?

I also think cording is getting better- he looked pretty fired up against wakey too which was a surprise as he hasn't shown that side before. Fairbank has done nothing wrong but hasn't really shone going forward but as usual his defence has been very solid. Ta'ai looked like he had some pretty good ball handling skills- would be nice to see him at 13 but probably won't have the match fitness to do that just yet.

Isn't he a Cas lad? Perhaps he just doesn't like them much?

Think hes a Flatcapper

Like to see mullally play again.
Taaimu too.
And sunshine would be nice.
And 2 refreshment stalls in the main stand.
And being within 1000 on the c and g half time draw - actually the right colour would be a pleasant change tbh.

All I want is two points!

Undoubtedly a really tough game for us as we haven't been 100% convincing since the saints game. Would love to see the lads just play basic rugby and wear down the Bradford side with our size advantage down the middle and run away with it in the second half
As it has been said respect possession! This has been our biggest potential killer, can't go on every game defending like life depending on it! Would be nice to.have a nice early comfy margin in our favour.

It would be nice to get a result but I fear we are going to slip up eventually.

yes cording is a cas lad and out of him and fairbank have to say cording is showing more at the minute. so taai in for fairbank

cut out the mistakes and complete our sets please.

Would quite like to see that team coming out tomorrow.

The only one i struggle with is Murphy. In good conditions i think Lukes extra speed might turn it for him

Both smurph and luke had good games against Bradford last year. Could still be both if PA decides jerrys eye needs a few more days recovery.

I just can't see this game as the one where you slip up. That'll be London or something equally as unpredictable. I've put Hudd 34 Bulls 12 on the prediction comp. Can't really see much else but a stuffing sadly.

For the record on the whole peeing competition between us, it seems pretty clear that we respectively have some troubled and rabid individuals. I don't personally like it when go beyond normal banter and start with the malicious gubbins. But if that floats your boat...

murphy is faster than people give him credit for... showed some great pace at wakefield last week to beat a few wakey players to the ball

Problem for me is everyone is playing well or giving their all so its hard to pick anyone to leave out....Cording or Bobby ? Smurph or Luke ? nice to have those options though.

Apologies Hudds fans for getting first coaching casualty wrong

Broughy not playing. Injured arm, back next week.

Note to self. THIS is why you always finish last in prediction comps and fantasy leagues.

knew he wasnt injured in the 2nd half last week!

missed him today is an understatment..

Yeah we missed Broughy, most sides would. Him being missing can't be to blame for the lost possession, high penalty count, poor line defence and general lack of enthusiasm though.

nope dont complete your sets you dont win.

broughs line defence and enthusiasm is top drawer...none today and down his side we were exposed. he normally hammers the oppostion in defence

We lost because Bradford played better than us. Period. Anything else is an excuse.

not hard when you keep knocking on and given away cheap possession
