From a Cas fan.Hope you start your SL survival against this Mercenary side ( only there for the money )Their coach is also not a patch on yours.Since he has stopped playing he has been helped by the best in the business and what did he do to one of them stab him in the back and take his job.The Dr team are the most disliked in SL he thinks he can buy a team well it has not worked yet has it.The bulls team have their backs against the wall nowhere else to go but upwards start against this bunch and anything is poss.May the best team win and that is Bradford Bulls.

Also win this for Nobby

Edited for accuracy

Salford got rid of Nobby after winning 6 matches in 12 months. His style of Rugby (5 drives and a kick) does not entertain and as Salford dont have a pack of Amazonian proportion including Vagana, McDermott, Lowes & Co he struggled to produce.

He was offered promotion and more money but declined.

As for Harris - although many fans have seen improvement - many fans have not - so he will be very keen to win on Sunday.

Always find your posts interesting and informative, Earls. But, must admit, I DID wonder whether calling those guys "amazonian" was the wisest move? Given that adjective refers to big female warriors of ancient legend?

I'd admit to being a tad hesitant in shouting: "Eh up, Big Joe; you big girl..."

I foresee another whupping

Heart says no way. Head begs to differ

On a Jet2 from LBA to Paphos when it kicks off.

God knows what I will read when my iPhone acquires a signal at the other end. At least we'll be adjourning to the bar with our friends soon as the taxi drops us off. I fear I may find need of a few bevvies...

Liar. You are going nowhere. There is no Jet2. There is no Paphos. You don't have an iPhone. Taxis don't exist. Have a nice hol.

I cannot understand why Cummins persists in playing Addy at Stand Off. He supposedly told Jarrod Sammut that Gaskell was to be first choice number 6 and that Sammut would have to fight for a spot...?

IMO this is the glaring selection error, Kear to Full-Back and Gaskell into the halves Francis!!!!

Addy should be utilised from the bench, gives us another ball playing option in the forwards should we need one.

Lets hope i've got it all wrong and Cummins selection is justified with a win today.

He's not the only coach to realise that Gaskell isn't a 6. Every other coach he has played for eventually refused to play him there.

Well at least we don't have back on bench this week.
Cummins still going with Gaskell at FB, Addy at stand off and Walker at prop.

Bench looks ok. No invisible man Ferguson still. Obviously not an important game this one. Sticking with the stand off at full back, the back at prop and the second row at stand off I see. Good plan.

Think with the squad we got that best set of players could put out today , not too sure about Henry but guess going for speed at that side with George. The positions as well commented need changing around a bit to at least try a new approach

I thought Arundel looked quite solid at centre , seems better in defence than Henry

Same 17 as last week with the exception of Baldwinson who replaces Pitts.
