Hoping we are up and miss the play off game as if its Sunday 4th I will be watching the NFL in wembley

You do realise that we are currently 3 from 3 in this competition with Kelly missing all 3? We have plenty of depth in the halves with Marsh & Chisholm to come back into the team.

Surely you agree that it can't hurt our chances?!

Rangi Chase being suspended by Salford won't do our chances any harm either

The circus continues.

Hoping Halifax can beat them this weekend.

Ferres wanting a big crowd on sunday and who can blame him, one hope is that we put in a full performance to do us proud and thumping could cause all the hard work to collapse.

But please God not Seijka
"The Bulls will assess the fitness of Lee Gaskell, Harry Siejka and Matt Ryan ahead of Sunday's game but Jake Mullaney looks certain to feature."

You'd think the performance against Salford might encourage some extra numbers on the gate.

Ross has just tweeted that he thinks our game against Leigh is going to be televised.

I'll honestly be shocked if it isn't. A top of the M8 table clash or all-SL game is mid table mediocrity and not even slightly what it's about. Leigh v Bradford is part of the narrative of the season.

In a seven game competition today's point's difference was nothing short of a disaster. A repeat performance against HKR leaves us needing a win at Leigh to even make 5th. Lose to Leigh and we need 70+ PD against Halifax to get there.

You make it sound like 5th would be some sort of underachievement. I suspect the fantastic result against Salford possibly raised expectations a little again. I agree that the points conceded today wasn't good but it is far from a disaster. The likely scenario was always that we'd need to beat all our Championship rivals to have a crack at promotion. After picking up the win versus Salford we possibly have a chance of a home tie IF we can prove we're the best Championship side and take 2 wins from our matches with Leigh and Fax. As I said after the Salford game, still plenty for all the clubs to play for.

I'm trying to make it sound like 5th, from where we are now and with the remaining fixtures, would be an achievement.

It also depends on how Leigh's points difference ends up. They still have to travel away to Widnes, although with it being the last fixture of the seven, Widnes may already be safe and might give a few guys an early holiday.

Either way I think 5th is the best we can hope for now. So it's looking like an away trip to a SL side, an almost impossible task.

I hope we beat Leigh mate. But if safe i think a few u19s may play for experience.
