IF we turn up, Wakey will be favourites to win. I have seen most of our games in the Championship and we are a level above all the teams we have played. We are making metres almost every tackle, whilst the opposition struggles to make ground.

Bradford will have to be at their best, and Wakey below par, for you to win.

I’m going 32-12 to Wakey

One of those lose lose games for Wakey - expected to win handsomely.

Getting run close or even losing can't be on the agenda for them. From a Bulls perspective, one of those games you love to play in, with nothing to lose and a genuine chance of pulling something off if the stars align!

Lino, tearing teams apart?! I think you will find it`s quite the opposite by a mile. He`s been so poor a lot of fans were excited to see him banned for this one so he would be replaced by Lawford. (only to find out it was a wind up!).

How's Lawford been going on? He looked promising for us but never got a 1st team game against a professional team.

With the disgraceful IMG plan turning the sport into a gimmick and with it the championship being a a pointless exrcise. This is the only game we'll play against Wankfield that actually counts for anything so you'd hope our lads will be up for it.

It's a bridge too far though - boosted by the promise of guaranteed promotion the new field owner has been given the guarantee to enable him to splash the cash on a loss making full time super duper squad.

If we run them close it would be a big boost to our confidence with players due to back in the race to finish second.

Deary me, somebody sounds bitter

Yes I am bitter. No other major sport in the country signs up to this many stupid gimmicks. If you knew who was getting relegated from the premier league and who was being promoted from the EFL before a ball had been kicked it would be a public outrage. They’d be talking about it in parliament.

So yes what I said is true. Wakefield are the only ones who will spend money on a decent full time
Squad as it’s a waste of money anyone else. They’ll probably win every game this season. I wish we were gifted chosen club status.

Wakefield had the same information every other club had, to say that we're the 'chosen club' is as ridiculous as it is wrong. We were lucky that we managed to finance a new stand out of the debacle that was Newmarket, and that stand encouraged a fan who happens to be loaded to buy the club. I've consistently argued that P&R should be on the basis of on-field results rather than by 'invitation', and stick to that belief...its worked well for Leigh and HKR, but other teams have consistently failed to reach their on-field standards...in some cases despite bossing the regular season but choking in the GF.

Bulls appear to be marketing this game well - hopefully a decent crowd and atmosphere will follow. Pressure and expectation is all on Wakefield so it's up to the Bulls to turn up and challenge Wakey.

For me, it is a bit of a free hit so hopefully the players play aggressive but also with confidence that they don't have anything to lose really.

If both teams play at 99% we probably know the outcome but if we put them under a bit of pressure and standards drop we might just have enough to pull off a shock.

Please, just no James Vella...

What's going on with the 'Away end' at Odsal? been a while since I've been but can't seem to select the area that used to be an away end? are all standing on the one side?
