Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_19829.gif



As Mick is on sabbatical as it were, and I couldn't find one, thought I'd better start a pre match thread

Presumably Sammut in for Sykes, Ollie to sit out one game.

Now the crowd seems to have found it's voice, can the Bulls win two in a row at home?

Sorry, missed out the most important bit:

The RFL has appointed Castleford based official Ben Thaler to Referee the game against Salford City Reds on Sunday.

Mr Thaler will be assisted by Touch Judges Robert Webb and Paul Grundhill. The Match Commissioner is David Asquith.

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg



Well, I'd imagine the return of Sammut would give us an extra spark in attack.

No offence to Salford, but this is a game we should be winning and the form of both teams kind of backs up that assumption.

Amazingly it appears to me to be the most clear cut result* of the weekend, I wouldn't have thought it possible a month ago.

Nothing is clear cut, look at last year and the games we thought we should have won eusa_think.gif if we go in thinking we have got this one in the bag it will bite us in the icon_moon.gif however if we put in performances like we have for the past few games we should do it.

A win in this game is vital. All the good work of the previous three games will be for nothing if we lose this one. Lets hope the coaching staff are pushing home the "no complaceny, nothing for granted" message. We the speccies are on a roll, lets keep it that way.

agreed. Salford have started well this year and certainly arent an easy beat. We need to put in a performance like last couple of weeks to get the points. In a way this game and next weeks are more important than the saints one. Effectively there both 4 pointers as not only do we gain 2 points by winning but we also deny 2 points to teams that are likely to be in competition with us at end of year for a playoff spot. Not bothered if its an ugly scrappy win as long as its a win.

If I wasn't still smarting from missing out on a large amount of money from Melly's last minute try I'd put a bet on that...

Need to be taking points of Salford and Hull if we want to make the play offs. Confidence should be high and the work ethic is so much more improved than last season I can't imagine them taking the game lightly.

Quote: tigertot "I am the king of prediction. Bulls by 14.'"


That will be my new sig, if we win!

We are definatly jekyll & hyde this season, our results show that. We can't seem to put in an eighty minute performance, even the games we have won we had 15-20 spells where we just stop doing what we have been doing well

I do expect Bradford to win although, don't be surprised if we pull off a win, I think it will depend who is back, hopefully Broughton, Moon, Williams will be fit

If you stop Patten, Moon, Smith & holdsworth playing well I think we will win. Never look forward to going odsal, even now. Anyway good look on sunday

Not fair, the crowd and the team are a partnership, the noise and support level goes up as the effort put in by the team goes up. You roar your approval. But not if there's not much to approve.

Quote: Steam Pig "Mr Thaler will be assisted by Touch Judges Robert Webb and Paul Grundhill. .'"

He will? Well, first time for everything, I s'pose.

Patten wasn't a threat the last time he was at Odsal, I was surprised at how average he was.

Fingers crossed for the win, this game makes me slightly nervous in that it's the first game for a few weeks we've expected to win rather than requiring to show the effort. If we don't win this weekend, the result against Saints will mean nothing.

Yes, Phil Salford at home is the first fixture of the season where we won the corresponding game last year. It's also the first fixture of the season where we are favourites to win. Hoping that doesn't put the kiss o death on us.

I'm guessing Sammut for Sykes and Joseph for Elima. Should have a bit more in the backline and a lot less in the pack as Elima was huge. Bulls 10 after a very tough game.

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid! If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/ Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get! Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!:13554.jpg

With injuries and stupid suspensions the Team are still evolving and have this season developed a much needed tougher mental attitude, this has seen them now get on a roll and I don't think for one minute the Squad or the Coaching Staff will be taking their collective feet off the gas for this match or the rest of the season! I don't mean the Bulls are going win every match but will win more than 50% and any losses will be reasonably close! They just need to play a smarter brand of rugby more consistenly and play as Team which also allows for individuals to make game changing plays in a positive way

Salford RLFC Folly ARLFC Good john wilky last looked out on the pitch at salford. when the snow lay round about deep and crisp and even brightly played the lads that night though the frost was cruelllll when poor swinton scored a try we had 94urrrrrrrrrr:7891.jpg



We've hit a bit of a blip in the last couple of weeks losing heavily to both Catalan in France and Leeds at home last week, but the 3 games prior to that against the teams around us we were playing some really good stuff and scoring some great try's. Then we had a few injuries to key players: Moon, Broughton, Williams, Anderson, Gledhill, Gibson and now Nero as well as Godwin who's been out since the start of the season. So we've had no wingers or centres playing in the last couple weeks and have been getting exposed badly out wide, hopefully with Gibson, Williams, Moon and Broughton back we should be a bit more sturdy out wide, with plenty of pace for finishing.

On the whole I'm expecting a Bradford win, but if we can put the 2 previous games to the back of our minds then we should be targeting a win on Sunday, Our record at Odsal suggests otherwise though!!!

It's a game we should win. But if the players go into the game thinking that Salford will turn us over. They have to be up for it like th Saints game.

I have been impressed with Salford this year, they have played some great rugby and have some outstanding players in Smith, Moon & Broughton.

Hopefully should be a Bulls win.
