"[ivery very low on confidence and ability this year. Shocking defence.[/i" ====> Ditto for the Bulls.

I think we will win, but it will be far from comfortable. And then everyone will rejoice as we are once more a winning team, and forget that we are in fact crap.
Until we get d!kced again in the league the week after that is.

No, it will be an easy enough win, but nobody surely would think that beating a lower division side is of any significance.

You would think, but wait for the positive spin the day after.

If we win it'll be by a throroughly underwhelming margin. I really can see Fax doing a Barrow and beating us, despite the fact that they're crap too at the moment.

If we do scrape through it'll only just paper over the cracks. It's going to take some serious actions on the field to restore my faith in our players.

fax are truly appalling at moment,you will run riot and score at will.

You've obviously not seen our attack this year. The ball never gets passed more than twice in a set (even then it usually gets played with an inside pass, ending back to the play the ball). I can imagine the opposition team prep the week before a match goes something like this.....

"Bradford will take 5 drives down the middle before kicking the ball dead, lets just pack the middle with our big lads!!"

I sure hope they prove me wrong!! I expect a win this week but would not be surprised if Halifax's attack is more fluent than ours. I have never seen a team so scared of throwing the ball out wide.

Never know, we might even see a dummy run from a forward this week. Poor Tom (Burgess) keeps offering this but then the hooker just throws it at him instead of missing him out

That tactic will be well and truly scuppered by Fax's stubborn refusal to make a tackle meaning Bradford will either do a Forrest Gump and run out of the stadium or score at will. Don't worry if we get hold of the ball, we've got 3 moves -

1. Drop the ball and stare at it like an idiot until some nice opposition player picks it up
2. Throw it to an invisible player/touch judge or opposition player
3. Let our winger (provided it's Worrincy) drive it in

Against Batley we tried a fourth tactic of constantly running into touch but that seems to have been abandoned in recent weeks.

Sorry but that was toms fault, it is a basic that you always expect the ball even if you're running dummy (just in case). Otherwise he performed well and took the ball in a few times towards the end

Game of it for a while but our feeble lads will eventually limp to a 34-18 vicory. I'm not sure who I despise more, the players or everyone reading this.

The world is ending. Shadows cloud the horizon. Every corner contains a whispering nemesis....

Is Jeff Grayshon still playing? And your Bully mascot thing - does he still charge up and down the touchline on a mobility scooter? Don't be confused by the bucket collectors this weekend - it's for our yoof team, not for our survival; although it could be said that they are inextricably linked.
