Bradford v Sheffield preview for anyone who fancies a butchers - wp.me/p3JxPK-xa

Always thought it was a bit of a shame that the Bulls never found room to sign Dom Brambani, who is a Bradford lad. He's getting on a bit now (29?) but he is a very good organiser, has a fine kicking game and always poses plenty of problems as well as organising his team. He's learned his trade very well. I don't know if Siejka will improve, and he is probably a better defender, but at this stage I would say Brambani is a far better, more effective and livelier no. 7.

Oh great, we've got the outstandingly brilliant and not at all useless plantpot Mr. Thomason again. Nice move RFL. Appreciate it.

At least we will find out if he really is that bad, or if it was just a bad hair day.

Brambani was in our academy till he was 18 was released to sign Matty Brooks.

Dom started alongside former Bull, Kyle Briggs, against Halifax. It was Dom's first start in a few weeks due to falling out of favour with Tubbs who decided to play Aston Jr to the dismay of some Eagles fans. Dom's been great for us and all the attributes you list above are most certainly correct. I know that the majority of Featherstone fans were very unimpressed with Siejka's brief showing when he was there on loan.

Yes I used to watch a lot of academy games at that time and I thought he would be well worth signing. Did Brooks ever play for us?

I heard we considered Brambani when recruiting for this season.

I don't think Brooks played a 1st team game.

Brooks was a decent player for us, made 38 appearances over two seasons if LRL is correct.

If that is the case and Blythe comes back in at centres, if Mullaney is fit i feel Shaw will be surplus on Sunday regardless of goalkicking ability - i think Sunday at Donny was the poorest ive seen him play

Mmm, the way we've been defending I'm far from certain we can just ignore goalkicking ability...I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Jimmy goes through the possibilities with Rhino!

Hits? I remember the Eurovision winner: "What's another Yere"

On a different note, Londons team on Sunday will be a bit of Bulls old boys reunion

Yes, and one thing Bradford has done quite well in recent years is populate world RL with some talented players and coaches. Always interesting if you're bored to pick the best available fantasy Bradford side, including both existing and former current players. I mean, you start with the Burgii, Peacock of course, some would still put Leon in there, then you have Atkins & Bridge, Ferres, Kopczak, etc etc etc but there are some interesting selection dilemmas.
