Whitehaven’s squad is absolutely decimated. They’ve had to draft in some Castleford reserve players to make up a squad of 18. They’re not able to name a 21 man squad.

On paper Bradford should walk this but if they turn up with a lazy and complacent attitude it could be a tough afternoon.

Off to a dreadful start. We have 2 tries chalked off and Whitehaven go up the other end and score on their second set. Gaskell off injured early doors as well.

It goes from bad to worse. Whitehaven in again.
