And if Celtic win, we'll go above Catalans as well

I think this will be a tough game, especially after Celtic's win.

I can see us having to be on our guard, and the consistency problems that we seem to be ironing-out will need to be pushed forward if we are to win.

They can really up their game when they want and there's nothing more dangerous than a wounded Bull, and they sure are backed into a corner at the moment.

If we can be as ruthless as we are starting to become we could win easily, if not, then we will probably get beat.

24-12 to the Reds.

Well we turned them over last time at home (14-10) when nothing was expected of us, but when it was needed. On what I can remeber as a miserable day weather wise. I think its going to be a tough arm wrestle after there shock defeat on Sunday, and a tough tackling game, one for our work horses. So hears hoping

26-24 MOM Adamson

I am really looking forward to Fridays game. We have been really consistent the last few weeks and it is great not to have to put up with 40 point defeats anymore. Even when we have lost we have still been competitive and have only lost by a try or two.

We will face the backlash from the Celtic result and the crowd will be a miserable 3900.

How's that for optimism?

If the team go in to the game with enthusiasm and full commitment then we have a great chance. This is the same Bradford side that turned over staines so we need to be at our best to get the points but in Bomber we trust.

Salary Cap seems to be working and levelling things out.

Will be interesting to see how many bulls fans turn up, after all we are no pushovers as in the past.
Still: City Reds 24
Bulls 10

We are more than capable of beating Bradford Bulls this coming Friday.

My prediction:


SALFORD CITY REDS 22 - 20 BRADFORD BULLS


M.O.M. Malcolm Alker


ATT: 5,000

Think we've beaten Bradford the last two times we've played them at the Willows.

On last week's performances by both teams we should beat them comfortably but like I've said previously they'll be awful one week and put in a quality performance the next. I reckon it's going to be a very close one on Friday that could go either way.

Bradford are so hit and miss at the moment from beating saints away,
to loosing at home against celtic just can tell how fri will turn out,
on form a salford win but bradford are so unpredictable this year

At least we've got a decent Ref in charge this week, I'm sure Phil Bentham will do his best to keep the game flowing...

i like our club. I couldn't afford to go to the game but the club sent me a pro mo so i can get in for £5 I'm really looking forward to this one! Should be a gr8 game win or loose if we keep this form up.
