| I really hope we can make this one count after the most effective Bradford performance we've seen in the last six years Sunday gone.
As Ben Jeffries has said in today's T&A - if we play with the professionalism, commitment, drive, pride & passion that we showed against Huddersfield then there is no reason why we can't come away from the Halliwell Jones with the two points and infact win the final five games.
We would need the same tactics whereby we literally bully the Warrington forwards into submission early on - just like on Sunday.
The team has now shown what they can do and that result aided by that fantastic team performance will have worked wonders on the teams confidence levels so I think that if we turn up against Warrington and give 110% effort then victory isn't so far fetched as some would believe.
I hope that the Rugby League starved Bradford supporters travel in their masses to get behind the team for what is now the do or die season lifeline fixture.

| We know this side can put in a one off performance. Realistically we need to win 4 out of our last 5 games to have any chance of scraping into a play off spot IMO. Wire are another level up from Huddersfield, it really will need a big effort to come away with anything from there.

| Aye and Wire throw the ball around a lot even in poor conditions. But we can beat them, play smart and bully their halves and pack.

| They are beatable, despite Moran's millions. Especially coming off the back of a cup tie.
If the team plays like they did on Sunday (It is still so hard to put into words how bloody uplifting it was to see that effort and determination - to see how we totally destroyed them, to the extent that they could not even be d to rush to form that last scrum to try and avoid being nilled) then we can do it. I really think so.
If we revert to how we were against Cats and Cas, fekking heaven help us.
Please...let us see the team we saw last Sunday. Their confidence should have soared after that; and surely seeing our support for them, the standing ovations, the desperation we showed for them to achieve what we all (except for the usual wired up wrong suspects) know they are capable of, MUST incentivise them?
There is still hope.

| If we play like we did on sunday and get beat I will be a very happy person, but if we get beat and we don't look d then I will be vexed off
Seriously though, watch Briers' kicking game and try force the Wolves to play 1 out rugby up the middle.

| Wire have a big cup semi this weekend. Fingers crossed it's a draw, extra time with both sides knocking the pony out of each other. Morley, who is still their best forward could be out. They key thing is if we get to our kick without dropping it and smash them under their own posts like we did against Hudds then as good a team as they are they'll make mistakes under pressure. Wire have looked outstanding this year but they've peaked early before.

| I really can't see us beating Wire on their own patch. I still think the playoffs are gone so giving them a run for their money will be acceptable for me.

| TBH, Cup game or no cup game, Wolves will be a hard game for Bradford. If we can put in the same workman like performance that we gave against Huddersfield then I'll be happy win or lose.
However, if we're wanting to do more than just make up the numbers should we make the play offs then teams like Wire are what we should be looking to beat.

| Really can't see past a Wire win. But I would like to see a performance like Sunday's to make them work for it at least.

| To resort to the usual cliches it's a big ask, and in truth a bit unlikely, but if the attitude is the same as last week we can come away with heads high......if not the two points. Having said that, Wire are not unbeatable and whilst the Bulls side that turned out at Wheldon road certainly wouldn't do it, the team from Odsal last Sunday has to be in with a chance, so who am I to say that, with the odd favourable bounce, we can't come out on top?

Well we do have a massive game on Saturday.
You get the week off and prepare, you'll be fresher, more fitter.
It depends what the cup game's took out of us.
I don't think it will be a result like at Odsal earlier in the season, i expect a tough game.

Bradford supporters not too optimistic while the Warrington supporters are not confident, expecting a tough battle.
Sound familiar?
