I'll be attending Odsal expecting a Leigh win this Sunday, not because they are a much better side than Bradford, but because the injuries which the Bulls have experienced over the past couple of month's have affected the teams performances.



Similarly, if the Bulls had been relatively full strength for the last couple of months and Leigh were potentially missing McNally, Brierly and Ridyard, then I would expect a Bulls Win.



I think 2 full strength teams would to be a close contest, possibly making Leigh slight favourites due to the core of the team being much more familiar with each other. Other than that I don't think that there would be that much in it.



I'm waiting to here the team news but I wouldn't expect Gaskell, Siejka or Mullaney to be up to speed even if they do play.

You're right to say it'll be hard without the regular halves, but I'll live in hope!



And, they definitely should only play if fully fit - there are bigger games than this to come.

Says on twitter that Gaskell and Mullaney definitely out. Addy will partner Either Purtell/Mendieka or possibly Siejka

No point risking them for whats now a nothing game in terms of the league, Mendeika and Addy will give some zip whereas Seijka wont really give us much.



No idea of squad sooo.....



Shaw

Etu

Blythe

Purtell

Williams

Mendeika

Addy

Clough

O'Brien

Sidlow

Ferguson

Walshaw

Pitts



Crossley

Lauaki

Halafahi

Fleming

If Siejka is fit then he should play and he ought to know his place in the mid 8's is up for grabs.

I'd play any who are fit, we need to get some cohesion before the eights.

Hopefully Sundays game will be a Classic ,it's a shame Bradford will be without a couple of players and Leigh have in all but name won the League,still I like Leigh's approach and style ,fast open Rugby, a thing Messrs Lowes and Harrison know nowt about,it's a pity I will be at the Keepmoat on Sunday , I would love to PARTY with the Leythers,should be a good atmosphere.

Well, hopefully one of the players we're attempting to sign will be a half back who knows what he's doing and if so, you'd hope that might light a fire under Siejka's backside and knock into his head that he's in the last chance saloon, not just at Bradford but for RL in general.



He certainly owes us at least 1 performance, let's see if it's sunday

I would have thought the party at The Shay will be a massive consolation for you .....With the massive achievement by Fax this year surely it will be a very big crowd including a few from Fax.

Squad is out:



Henry, AoB, Sidlow, Purtell, Walker, Fleming, Addy, Williams, Lauaki, Mendeika, Pitts, Walshaw, Blythe, Caro, Clough, Shaw, Crossley, Olbison, Halafihi.



So no Gaskell, Mullaney, Siejka or Ferguson. Which means we're actually going to go into a game against Leigh with no recognised halfbacks and either Mendeika or Purtell at stand off, along side Addy at scrum half. God help us, I'm not even sure I can bring myself to watch this.



Reluctantly, I'd line up like this:



Shaw

Caro

Blythe

Mendeika

Williams

Purtell

Addy

Sidlow

AoB

Clough

Olbison

Pitts

Walker



Crossley

Lauaki/Fleming

Walshaw

Halafihi



Henry and either Lauaki or Fleming to miss out.

As the game slips away I would get AOB off ASAP and give Halafihi a good long session.

You would play Purtell at 6?! AGAIN?
