Think the squad picks itself.

Pickersgill
Evans
Gibson
Webster
Ryan
Lilley
Wildie
Kirk
Hallas
Crossley
Farrell
Garside
Wood

Flanagan
Green
Bustin
Storton

Decent squad that for the slug fest it will BE. Hope Kear doesn't have another selection implosion and have 1 prop on bench with a centre.

The Batley chairman is one of Chalmers closest allies. I think they’ll coordinate their swipe at Hudgell....

I’d be tempted to put Pickersgill at 6 in attack but 1 in defence like we used to do with Brett Kearney.

Id go as far to say this is a must win game, but with the injury curse we seem to be going through i think its going to be extremely difficult

Much improved performance today.

Half time score:
Batley 0 Bradford 16

Final score of 6-16 to Bradford. Now a win is a win, but that second half the ill-discipline that cost us against Sheffield came roaring back.
A better team would have taken us to the cleaners

Really good team performance that IMO. Not perfect, had moment of sloppiness early in the first half and we'll need to improve for Widnes next week. But thought as a team we grinded out the win. Think the comment about discipline is a bit harsh. Sheffield we obviously lost the plot. But I thought a fair few of Batleys late penalties were brought with them being desperate rather than us lacking discipline.

Scrappy win for the Bulls. Just glad we got over the line and got the 2 points after a bad spell of games.

Daunting trip to a resurgent Widnes next Sunday.

I thought we showed huge effort & excellent game management, which was what was needed on that slope in winter conditions. Plenty more to come

Just like to say a big thanks to all the Batley bulldogs staff for making our visit , as a neutral (cas fans) to their patch great. And to watch 2 teams slog it out in those wintry conditions. Also to see our man Jake webbo Webster play, brought back a few memories.
Also, all championship clubs should take note, that Batley charge a tenner for adults holding a superleague season ticket, and £3 for kids. This would probably bring more neutral fans into your grounds on a Sunday. Great idea.
Anyway good luck bradford

Really enjoyed the game today the boys showed grit and resilience. Loved seeing the Lilley/Wildie partnership and they organised the game well in the terrible conditions. The forwards were excellent and put some big hits in. I think Kear managed the subs well for the first time in a few weeks. Looking forward to next week. Hope the team doesn’t change too much!

Has anyone else heard that we are trying to get rid of Dane Chisholm?. Rumours on totalrl
