As a neutral with no emotion attached to it, I thought he got every big decision spot on including the drop goal. I watched it countless times afterwards (he got one look) and I wasn't sure, one angle looked good the other looked wide.

Benthams judgement wouldn't have been questioned had Brough succeeded in the first two attempts anyway.

The drop goal was over. No question about it. Yes he only had 1 look, but as everyone has said, that was his biggest mistake only having 1 look.
Should have gone to the video.

It's a good job our coach to Hull last week had a working toilet, nothing worse than having a few pints and not being able to pee.

bradford squad for friday

Danny Addy, Matty Blythe, Matt Diskin, James Donaldson, Jamal Fakir, Dale Ferguson, Jamie Foster, Luke Gale, Lee Gaskell, Adam Henry, Elliot Kear, Brett Kearney, Manase Manuokafoa, Anthony Mullally, Adam O’Brien, Adrian Purtell, Adam Sidlow, Chev Walker, Sam Wood

not as weak as people think

Just a quickie, are Amy of your fans driving to odsal from near Atherton? Could really do with a lift, will pay for parking any buy you a drink or a burger in stadium.

This is what I'm worried about! I usually drive to away games but my missus has gone away to Lithuania, so I can go out on the lash without any repercussions. However, I've got the bladder of 80 year old man so if the toilet isn't working I fear for the person sitting next to me.

No point in asking the club, either.
They told me both coaches to london had a toilet, when i booked.

Its pretty much the first time this season we've had the luxury of both first choice halfs and 4 props. The only worry is if a few of our injured are being rushed back a bit early. Plus Fakir is still getting up to speed and I'd only expect a 10-15 minute spell in either half.

How do you guys think your players will repond to the coaching change? Positively or negatively? If our luck holds true I know which way that will go....

Should be a good game though, hope plenty of you make it over the hill.

Think this will be a close game.

Bulls are starting to click, and we simply have not clicked for any period of time at all this season so far. I'm going for a narrow Salford win, purely on the new coach factor. I think when new blood and ideas comes in players seem to respond mentally and physically and I think this will give Salford a slight edge.

Of course, being Salford, we're never really sure which side will turn up. The going through the motions side, or the up for it side.

What's the 19 man squad for tomorrow night?

Yet again, Salford go into a game as an unknown package. The signing of Logan Tomkins will, hopefully, help with one of our biggest problems thus far - guile around the play the ball - and the return of Sean Long full time should spark the attack up, but it's impossible to predict how the team will respond to this week's events. They were just starting to live up to some of the potential, with the wins over Castleford and Hull being some of our best performances in a long time (in attack, anyway: defensively less so), but there was also the nightmare of the other game against Hull in the middle of them.

Who knows? Never a dull moment.

I've seen it somewhere on the Red Devils site, I think. Basically, the same as last week, but with Rapira out and Tomkins in.

I expect our 17 to be;

Mullaney

Johnson, Gleeson, Sa’u, Meli

Chase, Smith

Morley, Tomkins, Tasi

Hansen, Hock
Lee

Replacements: Fages, McPherson, Puletua and J.Walne

Mullaney

I'd rest Smith he's been well below his best, 2-3 weeks out of the team will do the trick because he needs to re focus and come back stronger. Not sure if it's wise to play Chase, Fages, Smith and Tomkins in the same 17 unless we have injuries. (We need size)

Rapira isnt in the 19 man squad.
