i moan all the time about travelling , but im always there. well apart from the limoux game!

I hate Friday night games 'over the hill', but I'll still be there! I think both coaches will prefer Friday, for recovery time. Let's face it, the Widnes game is still more important, because the sad fact is, even when we win the Challenge Cup, it won't count towards a SL application!

We were potentially playing three games within 11 days, but now they are much better spaced out - Bradord (Friday) - Widnes (Thursday) - Featherstone. (likely Wednesday) From a playing viewpoint, that's been a smart move.

Does anyone know if we have to purchase tickets in advance and if they'll be available from our ticket office?

It doesn't state if you can pay on the gate on the Bulls website.

5,000 crowd in a 24,000 stadium? Should be reet on the gate, Kev!

I'm surprised at that estimate Matt.

Dewsbury v Bulls drew almost 4000. Weather is getting better we will be well supported.

I really must be travelling on the wrong M62 5 days a week from Leeds, Frank do you really expect to get to Bradford after leaving the sports village on a Friday night at 6.30pm? There are 9 miles of road works to contend with? Any how I will be there these mid week Yorkshire games sit nicely when you have to work daily on the wrong side of the Pennies and that Friday is pay day!!

Well Ste when we played at Dewsbury earlier this season we got there quickly enough took about an hour. Fridays after 6pm M62 is hardly chocker.

Each to their own thoughts (and not having a pop at anyone) but if a game v one of the biggest names in British RL isn't one of our important games than what are we saying is

Hopefully Dave Parky will be able to reveal more when he does his Millward interviews on who's decision it was to play Friday, the logic behind it and (hopefully if possible) if he views the fixture as a chance to give some 'fringe' players a run out or a test to see where we are.
Until we know the facts it could easily have been Bradford insistant on a Friday evening game (you may say unlikely - and I'd reluctantly agree , but you never know).

Anyhow before all that we've got the small matter of Sheffield eagles......
Anyone remember the days when we viewed them as our closest rivals in the league (think it was during the 8 division league), produced a few cracking games

I'll be there with the grandkids, looking forward to it, hope we give them a really close game!

What day do Widnes play Wi@@n in the Cup? surely they are going to be tired also!
Having a Championship sqaud is it worth getting injuries in a game we will NOT win and, we will be lucky to even compete in!

we should play full strenght squad, give it a right good goo! i dont think we are going to win , lets be honest theres a big difference between ourselfs and the bull.

a close game will raise a few eyebrows !!

It will not be a close game, not even with our 4 DC who will not be playing.
Leigh will be working all week and then playing a quality FT team away from home. We will have players putting bodys on the line for nothing.
I was looking forward to this game as much as the next man, but I can now see the bigger picture and it aint glory at Bradford.

Didn't Jake Emmit play against Limoux? According to the Leigh reporter he did so Millward must be using him & hopefully against the Bulls if he's not recalled which I doubt.

Afraid he didn't play - here's the team from the Limoux game:-

LEIGH: Stuart Donlan, Steve Maden, Dave Alstead, Mick Nanyn, Nick Stanton; Martyn Ridyard, Robbie Paul; Chris Hill, Dave McConnell, Ricky Bibey, Jimmy Taylor, Macgraff Leuluai, Tommy Goulden. Subs: John Duffy, Dave Armitstead, Mike Morrison, Adam Higson.
