| Quote: Bulls Boy 2011 "Likely line up's
The Fev line-up is likely to be a fair bit different to that.
I'd think there's a good chance we will see Golding and Luke Briscoe at 1 and 2 for Fev as neither are going to be in Leeds' squad you'd imagine.
I think there's very little chance of Delaney playing as his eye injury still seems to be a major issue.
Jack Bussey is suspended for the next few games.
James Harrison is out injured for the next couple of months.
Lockwood will start as he's our captain this season.
Luke Cooper, John Davies and Danny Maskill are likely to be in the 19-man squad, and probably Dan Smith who we have just signed on loan.
Ormondroyd and Walters have played for us a few times on DR in pre-season and might play though they aren't really any better than our other 1st teamers at their positions imo.
Harry Newman played a lot for us on DR last season but hasn't in pre-season so not sure if he will feature.

Interesting that there are probably going to be 7 guys who have played for Fev in the Bulls line-up on Sunday judged on the forecasts on this thread.

Either way, I hope we'll all be realistic about things whatever the result. If we win it doesn't mean 'we're gonna win the League', if we lose then let's have no wrist slitting! It's only the first game!
I'm definitely staying away from Bulls Banter FB group on Sunday night - it will be one reaction or the other, that's for sure...

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Fev is normally anything but easy and I can see them proving difficult to breakdown. They have had a shocking off season and will have a lot to prove. The new coach may be a rookie but he will have some good ideas to bring and as we saw last year, Kear can be outsmarted by the younger coaches who perhaps are willing to try and take more risks.

I've never been one for counting chickens because games are won, and lost, on the field and not by comparing team sheets. It's pretty rare for a Fev side to not be competitive so I'm expecting a good game. Oh, and hoping for the best...

Agreed, I don't think (anyone except a few loud mouth numpties who are allowed access to social media) are expecting this to be easy.
I think it's just a case of a feel good factor and fans believing their side can win. Sure Fev fans fully believe they can beat us.
Be a cracking game between 2 evenly matched teams.

PH is correct with all of this, our line us much more likely to be:
Goulding (Hartley if no Goulding on DR)
Briscoe (Render or Forde if no Briscoe on DR)
Teteh
Hardcastle
Carey
Ase Boas
Watson Boas
Wheeldon
King
Cooper
Davies
Day
Lockwood
Maskill
Walters
Ormandroyd
Smith
Which when you look at it could be okay if the conditions mean that it ends up being more of a forwards game.
Revised forcast 8-12 point win to Bradford, if I keep going this way I might believe that Fev can win by Sunday KO time.  |

This is why I've been looking forward to the Championship season. Every game should be a great contest! Really looking forward to Sunday and even though I think we'll win (as PaulWalker said) it's important to not get carried away regardless of the result!

Fev always tough. Not much to look at from them. Concentrate on our own game. Home advantage, settled pre season and good form to hopefully count for us.

Just Sunday???
The board (and anything that is posted by the club in general) is absolute rubbish at the moment. Its like a schizophrenic sh*tstorm of a page... I'm quickly remembering why I left it a few years back. It's either the team is the greatest ever and will smash all opponents with ease, or the club is a disgrace and is fleecing the fans because of super inflated prices or poor quality burgers!!!
And anyone who offers an alternative position is absolutely slaughtered. This board can sometimes have a bit of that but in general people tend to respect there are different views about. On there its crazy!!!

Like a lot of social media it’s a pack mentality and outrage is the default emotion.
