Considering he has 6 tries in 3 games for them this season, I for one am very happy to see that.

Nor is their goal kicking full back Kheirallah. Joanthan Ford is back though so they have a dangerous half back combo of Ford and Stan Robin.

Without Minga and Kheriallah it looks like they lack a bit of firepower. I for one am glad they are not playing!!

I'd love for us to play this side:

14. Oscar Thomas
2. Ethan Ryan
4. Ross Oakes
0. Lee Smith
5. Illiess Macani
6. Leon Pryce
28. Jordan Lilley
8. Liam Kirk
34. Scott Moore
15. Jon Magrin
16. Kevin Larroyer
20. James Bentley
11. Colton Roche

7. Joe Keyes
17. Ross Peltier
31. Mikolaj Oledzki
0. Daniel Murray

But I think Beattie will go something like:

Thomas, Ryan, Oakes, Mendeika, Macani, Pryce, Lilley, Roche, Moore, Magrin, Larroyer, Bentley, Jordan-Roberts.

Oledzki, Smith, Murray, Kirk

Can i change my round four predictions! i had us to lose, not to sure now

Are toulouse taking us a little lightly? I wouldn't blame them to be honest. We are looking stronger with the added experience but it seems still very early days and Toulouse will be favourites.

I don't read much into their loss to Sheffield given the conditions, state of the pitch after the Wakefield game and Sheffield having the helping hand of Leigh and Dane.

Its one I expect to lose but really hope we win as the confidence will start to flow.

Can I be controversial? I wouldn't play Lilley. Yes he's good but Keyes looked good last week and I just think he needs a run of matches to get there. Plus he needs time to gel with Pryce. Unless they are confident of keeping Lilley for a longer period in which case fair enough play him he's the best we've got.

Interchange bench should be four forwards only in my opinion.

Toulouse five eighth Jonathan Ford may not play because his fitness is questionable. If he doesn't then Bradford will have a further advantage on top of the absence of winger Kuni Minga (try scoring freak) and full back Mark Kheirallah (goal kicker).

I realise that you are thinking long term, which would generally be right, but our current position has to be to get league points anyway we can.

Sounds like the weather might ruin this one as a spectacle unfortunately.

Think that works in our favour

Well if we don't play Lilley, he'll definitely be recalled as the whole point of him being here is to improve his game with minutes on the pitch and keep him match fit. I think we pick the best available each week based on performances. Which leaves a dilemma as both Keyes and Lilley have performed well at 7.

How about Lilley 6, Keyes 7, Leon 4

That would be ironic. Wasn't one of the reasons Leon left originally was because we played him in the centres instead of halves?

I think its was one of the reasons but that was then and this is now. Elder statesman doing whatever is needed for the cause without any personal considerations.

Far from sure that's true. I definitely think we'll go better on a drier track and Toulouse will have a couple missing anyway (allegedly).

In any case, Odsal dries pretty well if it's given a few hours, and it's not necessarily going to be like last week when it just never stopped - even then, it was only the top surface which seemed to cut up.
