19 man squadOakes Pickersgill Ryan Storton Wildie Wilson

You missed out Ross Oakes Bullmania

I'm not sure who misses out but what price a new halfback pairing of Milnes and Pickersgill?

I think the new names will get games like Doyle, Hodgson and Wilson.

I also think Magrin and Grant will get a game.

I can see him resting Minchella and Wildie.

Hopefully a bit more rotation in the squad for the Keighley game. No disrespect to them, but we should really be able to win this game with a 2nd string side and we need our big hitters to be rested up for the league games

I agree. No point including Doyle if you're not gonna play him. Would expect Flanagan to start and Doyle to have the interchange hooker spot. Maybe other way round.

If Ethan Ryan is considered a long term option at fullback, this is a good game to get him some practice there. That leaves one of Milnes, Pickersgill or Wildie to miss out. Considering how important Wildie has been at 9 and covering the halves, this seems a no brainer.

I think that's right about Ryan. He seemed to be talking about his 'new job' in the T&A this week so I think Kear will consider it a good time for him to get some more practice in.

I thought the rugby was been shown on tv

Bradford slightly off the boil this afternoon with a lot of changes. The Cougars are up for this one!

HT: Keighley 6 Bradford 4

Just seemed to be a frustrating first half where we didn't have the rub of the green. I think if we'd managed to score earlier in the first half I think they'd have been more settled for the rest of the game

Very lucky escape for the Bulls against a spirited Cougars performance.

FT: Keighley 12 Bradford 14

Tougher game then you were expecting? I thought a lot of your boys looked really average, the exceptional George Flanagan won it near single handedly in the end.

And you lost to those average players even though your team were playing their hearts out.

Good game that, thought Steve Crossley was immense for you guys...but well played to Keighley though.

Why so hostile, I tried to be nice by complementing one of them. Didn't even mention the one-sided refereeing

Complacent performance from a lot of our players. Nearly caught cold. A few of the fringe players didn't help themselves. Keighley did well. Just lacked quality.
