Season over unfortunately - don't see a team out of there strong enough to beat the Dragons in Perpignan. t&a reports 4 out injured - but where's Burgess, his size and power would have been useful. Maybe only chance is Gale, Jefferies with Sammut at loose forward and try to run them off the park! Season ends as it has been for most of it - lots of injuries.

Well Burgess played for the academy before the Hull game, guess that's pretty much his Bradford career over with a whimper rather than a bang

Burgess walked past us in the terracing just before the Hull game kicked off and had quite a nasty looking cut above his eye so am guessing he must have got a bang during the academy game!

Not sure if this is what has kept him out but it a suggestion maybe!

burgess was not happy having to play in the academy, and made it know after the match.

the coach makes tha calls who plays or not !

Not sure on Ainscough being dropped?? Stopped a certain try and defensively I think whitehead to centre caused the issue there..

He will get more of the same at Souths he must know from just talking to George, also if his head is at Bondi beach already, why play him!

Mick Potter expect all those in the 17 whoever they are to play at their best, but that doesn't happen often enough, but when playing in Perpignan the Team do have that tough it out mentality more than any other away game, so I expect them to go down fighting even if they lose!

Where's Bateman?

Is he injured or just exhausted? I wouldn't blame him for the latter after the season he's had - especially with a tour to Aus recently.

Would go with speed rather than size especially that it's mid afternoon the heat will not be good for the larger forwards. Potter spent a lot of time there so will probably looked at a lighter quicker team.

Good luck to whoever plays tomorrow we're an hours drive from Perpignan it's 5pm and it's 28 degrees still.

Glad I'll be sat watching rather than running around in it!!

Bateman is still out with his shoulder.

So no Koppy in the squad, so something was known earlier in the week then?

Not sure if we can get a win with this lineup
