Speaking last night with an employee of the Bradford club and a few senior figures connected with them at the SL Gf and was taken back a bit by the attitude somewhat.
Whist I'm right in saying we all expect Bradford to be strong and start the comp as favourites there was a real arrogance that came across with the Bradford employees stating that they felt only Leigh would give them a game in the Championship and they fully expect to be far too strong for us and everyone else and will return to SL at the first time of asking.
It was also stated that the Bradford club has turned the corner big time and is building a Dynasty again to return to the Elite level not just to make up numbers but to regain its place in the higher echelons of British RL. If true great for the game but highlights just how strong the level of competition we are stepping up against next term really will be.
One thing that did impress was the level of staff they had in attendance with people like Robbie Paul, Rob Parker and others in attendance entertaining sponsers.
Highlighted to me the sheer size of the operation they have and the resource they have in sales, advertising and marketing in comparison to a Championship club.
Still think our boys will smash them though
