Pryce
Walker
Lulia

Kopczak
L'estrange
Joseph

Bateman
Joseph
Diskin

god knows how Phil Joseph has become 'good'...
...he has always had talent but never used it. he was a right donkey at Fax and Swinton when we played them.
good luck to him though. players like him getting a shot at SL can only be good for our league. i hope he does well for ya.

I hope you're wrong about Walker in the right centre, especially with Karl outside him. I'd want to see one of Purtell or Lulia in the right centre, preferably with Kear whose looked defensively solid when I've seen him.
I'd start with
Kearney
Kear
Purtell
Lulia
Pryce
Sammut
Gale
Kopczak
Diskin
Scruton
Walker
Langley
Hargreaves
L'estrange
Burgess
Joseph
Donaldson
With Elliot and Elima missing it's time we saw a Bradford side that was physically big enough for a change.

| With Catalan not having a specialist winger for this game, Gales kicking game, if on form should be able to cause plenty of problems. This strengthens Karl Pryces bid to start, If Bradford are smart they need to pepper Catalans 'wingers' with high balls and let the tall frames of Pryce, Lulia and Purtell challenge for the ball in the air other inexperienced wingers

| My 17 after a long think.
Kearney - no brainer.
Ainscough - with Catalan not having any wingers I want to see us outpace them on the outside. We could use Ainscough's pace to target the Catalan weakness.
Purtell - as someone said before high kicks from Gale, this guy can take them for the left side and with Ainy outside him these two could cause real threats to the Catalans right side.
Lulia - again he has a huge frame and can deal with the high kicks from Gale and can cause the Catalans some major problems with his line-running also could be devastating if he releases Kear.
Kear - provides pace on the outside and his catching is quality, I want to see him go up against Greenshield as I think Kear is our best defender we have on the wings. If he gets round Greenshields only Bosc will be able to catch him.
Jeffries - compliments Gale's kicking game with a good solid passing game. Not afraid to take the line on and willing to get his hands dirty in defence. Is suspectable to miss tackles and he will have learnt from last time about breaking the line.
Gale - no brainer, not had a halfback like him since Deacon. Kicking will be important on the 5th Feb. His kicking game could win or lose us the game. Needs to spread the ball to Jeffries and needs to kick to Lulia and Purtell. His objective should be to pepper the Catalan defence with well placed kicks.
Kopczak - if he keeps his Four Nations form then he will be more than a match for the likes of Paea and Fakir. Needs to make the metres he made last year.
L'Estrange - chances are he will be captain. Want to see him get out of dummy half and cause problems for the defence. Reason he starts is because he sets the tone then Diskin comes on when defence is tired and runs at markers to get us penalties. Probably one of the best tackles in the Bulls squad and can neaturilize if not better Henderson.
Hargreaves - I'd start with Hargreaves because he isn't an impact prop and seems to have become more mobile in the off season. Want to see him do a bit more damage than last year.
Langley - as someone mentioned before with Whitehead and Elima out we need some size. Who better than the big man himself? Langers could tear holes in the Catalan defence especially as a wide running second rower.
Bateman - I'd throw him in the deep end. Did extremely well last season when he played and will only improve with gametime. He dealt with Catalan fine last year and he has bulked up big time this season.
Donaldson - looked like the old Donaldson at Dewsbury game, if he continues this he must be played. Showed against Warrington (QF 2010) that he could be the man to change a game. When he went off it ended for us. Excellent defender too.
Diskin - see L'Estrange for why he's on bench.
Scruton - provides impact and will hopefully 'bang' the tired pack when he comes on.
Burgess - the size is there. And he is difficult to put down. Would cause huge problems to a tiring pack.
Sammut - when he comes on he will run at the massive pack. If your a big person would you want a little sh*t running at you when your knackered? Provides the unexpected too.

Probably agree with that apart from I'd have Sibbit in at 12, with Bateman on the bench. Think starting with Bateman and Donno might be a risk against Cats pack.

| True but Sibbit seems to have regain his old form of giving penalties away and with Pryce, Menzies, Dereau and Bosc pulling the string then we simply cannot afford to have him on the pitch.
Pluse Bateman and Donna are more agile especially when their defence is a bit tired.
