Wasn't going to go but i just saw Orford on the teamsheet. Anybody know how the pitch is over there, I know Leeds Carnegie got called off other week, what are chances of postponment ?

I shall be going along. However, I'm not getting my hopes up for a victory.

This will be the first time our new half backs will have played together as well as several new members of the team who are probably still getting used to life in Bradford/UK. Compared to a Leeds team that is well established and knows it's play patterns we are the underdogs today.

But as long as it's a good performance, then I'm not that worried over the result.

Spot on. We have new players in key positions (both halves and hooker) as well as a couple of others. Leeds' likely side is only really missing Senior, Peacock & Eastwood from what will probably be their starting lineup and the only new player in there is Delaney, who at Centre, isn't exactly in such an influential place.

Games like this, winning isn't important. Game time together and getting used to how each other play, that's what it's for.

I'd love to win this, but I'm not gonna be gutted if we don't. As long as we don't get a stuffing.

If Orford and Kearney look useful together and we get through injury free then I will go home pretty happy. Just hope it doesn't rain.

Pre season friendlies are a bit like drinking non alcoholic beer. Might go if nothing else to do but really I'd prefer it if they played these games behind closed doors.

Orford not playing. Just gave teams out.
