It would buy us some time. To bring some forwards in for Swinton to get ready for the French

Gotta be honest, I'd like the game postponed. Rochdale, despite having a great game against Dewsbury, are one of those games we should be targeting at picking up points. Playing it now while we're desperately short of forward depth, we're likely to lose. If we play it later in the season, there's a chance we've picked up some more players and are more likely to get something out of it.

I agree. We have plenty of points in Ryan, Oakes and Macani. Lilley and Pryce is a very creative pairing.

Odsal is a much bigger and wider pitch than Rochdale. Get it out wide and i think we'll nick it. Get sucked into a forward battle as you say and we'll lose.

I suspect Dewsbury took them lightly and paid the price, I don't expect the Bulls to do the same but play with the same intensity and an improved defence this week! A win should be there and I'll take it by 1 if need be!

Just sleet tomorrow according to the met office.

Yeah, that's what I've seen.

Have to say I don't fancy us. A bit too soon imo and we're still short handed in the pack. I agree with Bull Mania, and much as it goes against everything I've ever learnt about RL, maybe the best bet for us is to try and keep the ball wide and hope we have the class in the threequarters to put on some points.

Type Odsal post code in and its not.

If that weather forcast for odsal is correct game will be off I rekon.

If it's on it'll be bloody cold. Cue summer rugby gags.

If that forecast is correct the game must be in doubt. I seem to remember we had the same problems a few years ago when we played Catalan. We were all stood in the away end as that area had been cleared of ice and snow.

I think the Rochdale hammering of Dewsbury was a good wake-up call for us. We're now going into tomorrow expecting a tough one, and hopefully 2V has done his homework on the opposition.
I've gone for a Bulls win because we have one thing that Rochdale dont - the Bulls fans cheering the players on - we can add that extra player if we give it plenty of vocal; we need to make it fortress Odsal again - we want to spur our players on; majority of them acknowledged the Bulls vocals at the HKR match.
Now we're back on home soil - Nice and loud - COYB

Any snow yet?

Just driven past Odsal.Light snow which isnt settling.So unless things change for the worse it looks like game on.Not sure whether thats a good or bad thing.We shall see.

Travelling over from Manchester for the game. No snow here. Hopefully the club make the call early so I know whether to travel across or make other plans. What's it like over in gods own county?
