Yes Ainscough in for Walker.

Tend to forget theres a game friday dont you.

Feel it could have come at great time financially but wrong time mentally. Credit to the lads for the effort at hull but i think this time everyone is going to so wrapped up in survival mode then the performance will suffer.
for once the result is unimportant but i fully expect leeds to come and do fully proffesional job on us and win by 16-24 points

missing crookes and bateman, so i would put leeds on for a 12-24 point win over us but if we can drag it into a dog fight like we did against saints we could give them a run for their money

Given all the emotion surrounding the game , the Bulls should be pumped up to bursting point , that combined with the current Leeds wobble in form , I expect the Bulls to win by 10-12 pts . Just hope its a good game not spoiled by whistle happy officiating .

Hopefully a monster crowd to swell the fighting fund

I hope and reasonable expect that it will be the opposite. The response so far from the players in assisting fund raising has been exemplary. Leeds will be expecting a "backs to the wall" performance from the Bulls.

Glad Ainscoughs in. I was about to say it could be the slowest back line in history with Pryce/Walker/Lulia/Purtell, though it would be big.

My line up.

1. Kearney
2. Pryce
3. Purtell
4. Lulia
5. Ainscough
6. Jefferies
7. Sammut
8. Hargreaves
9. Diskin
10. Manuokafoa
11. Elima
12. Whitehead
13. Langley

14. L'estrange
15. Addy
16. Joseph
17. Burgess

Think Ainscough could have some luck in attack outside Lulia. Another thing is Lulia is one of the best defenice centres i've seen for some time and will look after Ainscough. Cannot wait for this. COYB!!!!

If your left side is good defensively then you will be tested by Watkins and BJB .
Our left side has been pretty weak lately but don`t see it troubled much by you in this game.
Alot will depend if Webb and McGuire are fit.
If they are we will win by 12.
If not and you play like you should then you could win it by 12 to 16.
18k plus crowd Diskin MOM

You can only look after a winger so much. Ainscough got hammered at Keighley. I expect Hardaker & Hall (I guess it's them) to terrorise that side all night.

Yes. You never know what he's going to do; consistently.

The difficulty will be in shielding the players from the dawning realisation as to whether The Pledge is going to succeed or not.

Obviously if we pass the £500k before the game starts it will be party time. If we're getting close, its to be hoped the club will be pushing it for all its worth - "We only need another £30,000, pledge now". But if we're well short, and the crowd is far below 20,000, the atmosphere could be quite flat. In those circumstances the players wouldnt be human if they weren't affected by it. It's not going to be like at Hull last week.

Can't wait now tbh. COYB

Jeffries and sammut swap but otherwise spot on

Nerves really starting to kick in! Not been this nervous for a Derby in a while. Hope you make the target, best of luck.

Lets hope its a cracking game and we don't see any trouble (like last year) the drink will be flowing and emotions running high.

COYB!
