| Well, what a start to the season we have made. We're third in the table, and we're undefeated in our last three matches. We now face a very difficult test in the south of France against the Catalan Dragons, and we'll have to play very well once again to take the two points.
James Donaldson and Keith Lulia are hopeful of being passed fit and could be playing this weekend , despite both going off with injuries against Hull KR. However it is still unknown whether Matt Diskin, Matt Blythe, Jamie Langley and Chev Walker will be passed fit.
Catalan are without Brent Webb and have played all season without Scott Dureau but still sit sixth in the table, level on points with the Bulls.
I'm not expecting to win this match but I hope for another good performance from the lads. If we play like we did at the weekend, however, I feel that we are capable of taking the two points.

| I know there's different personnel, game plans and so on but do we still have the best away record against Cats?

I think we've only lost once there since they joined Super League. Not sure if that's the best record though.

Yeah, once in the league and once in the cup. After what, 8 seasons, it must be [ione[/i of the best at the very least!

| Catalans are chronic slow starters. You can expect Bradford to get away to an early lead, but for Catalans to come back.
Watch out for replacement hooker Eloi Pelissier. He is very sharp out of dummy half against tiring opposition forwards.
Big bruising centre Vincent Duport has a pectoral muscle injury and may not play.
The new lineup last weekend had Bosc at full back with Pryce and Barthau in the halves. It worked and will probably continue. Bosc is very effective coming into the attack from full back, and his brilliant running created the space for Steve Menzies' try against Widnes.

13554.jpg 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!

| Is anyone going this weekend? We are going on the CFW/CST Thurs to Sun package courtesy of the Make a Wish Foundation, as going to Perpignan to see the Bulls match is what Little Miss Cookie wished for and the Foundation has made this possible for her (none of this meeting 1D/JLS or being a "princess for day" for her ).

| Squad:
James Donaldson, Adam Sidlow, Adam O'Brien , Manase Manuokafoa, John Bateman, Brett Kearney, Nick Scruton, Heath L’Estrange , Adrian Purtell, Keith Lulia, Elliot Whitehead, Elliot Kear, Jarrod Sammut, Danny Addy ,Tom Olbison, Chev Walker, Jobe Murphy, Jamie Foster, Matt Diskin
Matt Diskin in for Sam Wood is the only change to the squad. Langley and Blythe still miss out due to injury.

| I'd go:
1 Kearney
5 Kear
2 Purtell
3 Lulia
17 Foster
19 Addy
6 Sammut
8 Scruton
9 L'Estrange
10 Manuokafoa
11 Bateman
12 Whitehead
21 Donaldson
14 Diskin
15 Walker
16 Olbison
27 Sidlow
We're close to full strength now. It would be brilliant if Blythe and Langley were fit to play against Leeds, and lets hope for no injuries against Catalan.

| Quote: BullCharge "I'd go
This is probably what Cummings will go with, although personally I'd go with;
1. Kear
2. Purtell
3. Walker
4. Lulia
5. Foster
6. Kearney
7. Sammut
8. Scruton
9. L'estrange
10. Nas
11. Whitehead
12. Bateman
13. Donaldson
14. Diskin
15. Sidlow
16. Olbison
17. O'Brien - his defence was awesome last week, I'd play him at LF.
Don't think for one minute Cummings will try that, but it's what I personally would go with. Got a funny feeling we can beat the Dragons on Saturday
