I'd go with that. I'd prefer to give Burgess a hit out against a team that are lacking in confidence.

I'd like to see this team. sykes and sibbit have both had plenty of chances to impress and havent done so imo. So give some of young lads a chance to show us what they can do.

Kearney
Ainscough
Walker
Royston
Ah Van
Briggs
Herbert
Lynch
Diskin
Hargreaves
Elima
Whitehead
Donaldson


Burgess
Kopczak
Le'strange
Olbison

Quins by 6!!

MASSIVE......................Full of South Sea Islanders!!!!!!

Kearney
Ainscough
Royston
Walker
Ah Van
Briggs
Herbert
Lynch
Diskin
Hargreaves
Elima
Olbison
Donaldson

L'Estrange
Koppy
Burgess

I'm not sure if Connor has any inside info when he publishes his 17 for matches, but here's how he has us lining up tomorrow:

Sykes
Ainscough
Walker
Royston
Ah Van
Kearney
Herbert
Lynch
Diskin
Hargreaves
Whitehead
Olbison
Elima

Subs: L'Estrange, Kopczak, Burgess, Donaldson


So no Briggs and no Sibbit.

Just been out to the shops and the weather is bloody fantastic at the minute.

Should be a good 12,800/13,000 crowd today.

Let me just say that Connor has been spot on the money the last three weeks.

Will be disappointed if Briggs doesnt play

really cant see why potter isnt playing briggs. ok he isnt setting world alight in u20's but he's playing alongside an unfamiliar halves partner. Its going to take time for combinations to gel. but equally its going to take the same time for him to gel with herbert. so when he does play well in u20s and gets a chance in 1st team he then has to start from scratch building a relationship with herbert. think we need to bite the bullet and throw him into 1st team, but be patient when he makes the inevitable mistakes.

one possibility I suppose is that potter is thinking longer term than just this season and wants briggs and southernwood to gel as a partnership before bringing them both into first team as a pair next season.

Potter is making his first real mistake as Bulls coach today if Briggs doesn't play. He did the right thing last week not changing the side, but we've signed Briggs for the here and now.

I think it is a straight option between Sykes and Briggs. Sykes is a good player - when he has had a few games in a row in the same position. His (in)consistency is in direct relation to the number of positions he plays. Unfortunately he is down for a different position again. Briggs' short kicking game was brilliant against Leeds initially, then he missed games through injury, now he has been average at best for the under 20's. My own opinion would be to play Briggs. But I'm not the coach

Briggs not playing for the U20s..

..because he's reinjured his knee

Well, at least our luck is consistent. Hopefully no more than a tweak. And that'll be why he isn't playing

Warning!

Don't attend before 3pm if you don't wish to hear the death of music as we know it.

Thought Sykes had a pretty good game once again. Still listeners on Radio Leeds texting in saying he was rubbish today and we need rid. Not sure why the guy receives so much flak.

Didnt think he did much wrong today.

Just who was that one trick pony? His voice went straight through me.

Scored a well supported try and put in some decent kick/chase returns in. I can't really fault him at all.

How Melling didn't go for ten minutes for pulling back Ainscough in the 55th minute I'll never know as it was the most blatant and cynical professional foul I've seen this season.

All in all it's four from eight and 50% having played Leeds, St Helens, Huddersfield and Wigan.

Two very much winnable games coming up against Hull FC and Salford which would be fantastic form to be in leading onto the big Easter showdown against Leeds.

Good crowd today also despite the on/off weather.

Poor Sykes doesn't deserve the stick he gets. These so called bulls fans slating him are not proper fans.

Amen to that but he's the new Worrincy and even if he had scored ten tries today they would still want him out of the club.

Every club has these idiots.

Oh ye mean that same tackle that won leeds the game in cardifff from a pentaly try mick!! yes that one?!

The refs are so unconsistant its untrue!! Tw**s

The point I'm making is that last week we saw three players put in the sin bin for minimal offences but then that happens today and no sin bin? WTF?

Absolutely, and a claim for a penalty try too surely? Or does that rule only apply to Leeds?
