Bookies don't give us much of a chance, 9/1 with Sporting Bet and we are getting 18 points on the handicap! Seems a bit out to me...

Bradford recruited well, so they look like a good team this year.

Heard they have had a lot of flu past week or two so hope LMS and Clubbie can encourage them to have a little lie down until they feel better

Bradford have lost their last 2 games, including getting beat by Hull last week who looked pretty average when turning over our shower. I think we might be able to sneak this one, especially if it chucks it down.

Recruited well but not scoring many tries........they look particularly lack lustre when Orford is not playing (but no doubt he will be playing tonight). If we put in as much effort as last week it could be a lot tighter than the bookies predict. Pitch will be heavy which we seem to like and if Worrincy plays it will boost our chances.

Orford definitely playing tonight. pretty much zero chance of worrincy playing after his last few performances. I wouldnt read too much into us losing last 2 as we lost key players just before match both times and were up against 2 of the form teams. agree hull werent a very good team last week but when they played you lot they were without long and tansey so were arguably even worse.
Think bookies are being maybe a little generous tbf bulls by 12 I reckon.

Not sure about this to be honest. The effort was there from us last week, but Hudds just had to get the ball wide and they opened us up with very little effort.

as usual.....no use to me.
Anyone got a link to the match commentary?

I can only find it (or little bits of it) on Radio Leeds. I don't think I'll bother if that is it. I can do without listening to a few minutes of a match at a time and someone reading out texts to say "come on you ..."

4-0!

TRY time.

Bradford annoyed because it they think it was forward. TOUGH.

We didn't get much luck on this last week. About bloody time.

Melling scored, Orr converted.

Platt has replied for Bradford. That's a sign of a bad team — letting Platt score.

6-4

It may just be my connection, but this Radio Leeds feed keeps cutting out and buffering every 30 seconds or so…

v. irritating.

10 - 6 now

10-6 to Bulls

Half time, that's not a bad score, for us.

Sounds like they are trying which to be honest is all we can ask at the moment.
Handicap was a bit screwed, we were certainly the value on the coupon this week.

Damn Menzies.

16 - 6



Bookmakers spent too much time listening to Ian Millward…?



From what I can gather the first half was a dour affair, Bradford have upped the tempo this half.

Danny Orr intercept.

Good lad.

16-12

15 mins to go.

18 - 12 now

18-12 to the Bulls

orford pen

Yup.

Orford penalty for an infringement at the play the ball.

We can still draw.



Edit: Bradford drop goal, Orford again.

How bad must the Bulls be w/o Orford?

Bolloks.
