The only reason I say leeds is because when it comes to bradford against leeds matches form totally goes out of the window and it's a different ball game. Unfortunately at MM they got the better of us (albeit thanks to ganson) but yeah i do agree Wigan and Warrington look like the top 2 at the moment. As you say though september is a long way away and we still have briggs to come back who looked like a breath of fresh air for us against leeds and im sure once him and herbert get playing together they will get some good plays together behind the pretty solid pack we have this season. I really am looking forward to the coming weeks!

bulls will be alot shaper with Herbert having another week to create parnerships and hopefully get the ball to our wingers and centres. But think hudds with brough and brown maybe a step too much just yet. hope im wrong

Brown is nothing special but Brough is something different however he is either totally on the ball or totally mis firing from what I have seen of him!! I am really looking forward to this game!

And regarding the wingers what put a smile on my face yesterday was (i think the building up to the first try) was when Ainscough got the ball from platty and he put his head down a took his winger on the outside I cant even remember the last time we saw one of our wingers take on his opponent rather than cutting inside for the easy/safe option!

Brown with half a yard can do damage, take two of the trys we conceded against Crusaders, the Witt and Summat trys. Give Brown space and sloppy tackling he will score.

Nice to see bulls have wingers with some pace trying to use there feet, how Ainscough stayed in field in the build up to Olbisons try i dont know!

When you get close we'll let you know

Tight game for me, you aint firing fully yet, our defence is solid.

Us by 8

i was scratching my head after that, quality wing play.

To be fair if you give anyone space and sloppy tackling they will more than likely score! But yeah I agree it is nice to see us with some pace and using it well.

defo, i was amazed at that too, then after the break shifting ball right to left to use the space the space created was a lot better too, hebert was quick to get the ball to the left and into kearneys hands.



you say that but get sykes running at a sloppy defense and he still wouldnt make a half break

not finishing in the playoffs... conceding 120 points in 4 games

and the poll at the top of this page is a joke too

if your coming to make it a forwards battle then you will lose. everyone knows hull fc pack is big they tried using that agaisnt us and they was going backwards and i dont feel ur forwards are as good as ours. but you do have a stronger back line than in the last few season and that could cause us problems i think it will be a good close match but i think we will edge it

oh and how many bradford players are in the england elite squad???


ZERO

Jeez we have a full week of this yet, best hope we beat them otherwise it'll be unbearable on here. Perhaps we should get some designs drafted up for the commemorative t-shirt if we win?!
